Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning to move back to the United Kingdom as early as next month [4].
The relocation marks a significant shift in the couple's relationship with the British monarchy and their residence after six years in the U.S. [3].
The couple plans to settle in a home located outside London [1]. They will be accompanied by their two children, Archie, and Lilibet [1, 2].
Reports on the motivation for the move vary across sources. Some reports said the couple will maintain their status as private, non-working members of the royal family [5]. Other reports said the decision is driven by personal family considerations [6].
Contradictory claims have emerged regarding the stability of the couple's relationship. While some sources focus on their private status, other reports said the move is linked to serious trouble in the marriage between Harry and Meghan [7].
This move ends a multi-year period of residency in North America. The couple has spent six years living in the U.S. [3] since stepping back from their senior royal duties.

A return to the UK suggests a potential recalibration of the couple's relationship with the Crown and their extended family. By maintaining a non-working status, the couple avoids a formal return to royal duties while positioning themselves within the British social and legal jurisdiction, though the conflicting reports on their marital stability add a layer of uncertainty to the long-term nature of the move.
