Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back to the UK this MONTH and enrolling Archie and Lilibet in school – with Palace sources saying ‘there is no half in-half out option’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back to the United Kingdom this month – six years after leaving for the US. 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are understood to be returning for an ‘extended period’, with Archie and Lilibet set to enroll at a British school. 

The family will move into a non-royal residence and will not be working royals.  

King Charles was only informed by his son on Sunday that he plans to move back to the UK later this month.

And it is understood that while he ‘welcomes’ the chance to see Harry and his family in a private and personal capacity, the King is clear that there will be ‘no alteration’ to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s role and status as private individuals and non working members of the Royal Family in keeping with their ‘clearly expressed wishes and agreement over past years’.

The Duke and Duchess last met the King and Queen Camilla at Highgrove, in Gloucestershire, last month – but did not tell them of their plans to move. 

Harry, 41, was already scheduled to visit the United Kingdom to attend a WellChild Awards bash next month and was set to stay in a room at Buckingham Palace.

But the Duke and Duchess no longer require accommodation for their patronages with the whole family set to return within the next two weeks. 

Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, are thought to have already enrolled at a British school – and the family are reportedly planning to stay until the children finish education. 

Harry and Meghan are set to retain their £11million home in Monecito, California, which they have lived in since moving across the pond in 2020. They also still own a residence in Portugal.  

The surprise news comes six years after the couple left Britons in disbelief when they stepped down as working royals.

Harry and Meghan were blasted at the time for failing to consult Charles, Camilla or Prince William before announcing their exit. 

Their dramatic decision was taken without the knowledge of their family, who learnt about the announcement as it broke on television news in February 13, 2020.

The couple were accused ‘press[ing] the nuclear button’ and made the bombshell announcement just days after returning from a six-week break in Canada. They later permanently moved to California in March, 2020 in a move that was widely dubbed ‘Megxit’. 

More recently royal aides who accused Meghan Markle of bullying them said they were frightened of ‘what she would do to them’ after they spoke out, it was claimed today.

The Duchess of Sussex’s staff were left ‘in a psychologically delicate state’ and ‘viewed her capacity for revenge as infinite’, an expert has alleged.

Meghan, 43, has always denied the allegations of bullying while she was working as a royal, which she described as an orchestrated smear campaign against her.

Veteran royal correspondent Valentine Low broke the bullying story in May 2021, just before Harry and Meghan were to appear on screen with Oprah Winfrey to discuss Megxit.

He claims that some of the royal staff who had worked with the Sussexes were still in a ‘very fragile state’ more than two years later – and despite the royal couple having emigrated 5,000 miles away to the US.

‘They were very worried about what Meghan would do to them. They viewed her capacity for revenge as infinite’, Mr Low said.

‘They’d left the employ of the Royal Family and they still were in a psychologically delicate state as a result of what happened to them at that time’.

He added: ‘If they [the Sussexes] were difficult to work for then, they’re difficult to work for now’.

Mr Low was speaking to American royal commentator Kinsey Schofield’s Unfiltered YouTube show.

He told her that he believes that Harry and Meghan tried to stop and then discredit his story detailing allegations of bullying, adding that he believes that the fact they have lost 25 staff since 2017 shows they remain tough to work for.

”It was a very important factor, the litigious nature of Harry and Meghan. I had sight of various bits of documentary evidence. I saw things which totally backed up the story. I had utter confidence’, he said.

‘Before publication we put the allegations to Harry and Meghan and we got a very very long letter from their lawyers. Sometime later we got another slightly less long letter from their lawyers. It was very very feisty, very strong, saying basically ‘watch out’.

‘Then we published and after that we didn’t hear a word from them’.

Valentine said the story had to be published before the Oprah interview.
