LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have decided to return to the United Kingdom for an extended stay this fall. However, they will not resume royal duties.
The royal couple’s children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, have enrolled in their classes at British schools and will start in September, according to a person close to the Sussexes.
While the couple will return to the UK, they plan to live in a private, non-royal residence outside of London. However, the family allegedly plans to maintain their California home and vacation property in Portugal.
When asked to discuss the reports by the AP at a roundtable event with U.S. veterans in Washington Wednesday night, Harry replied, “Nothing to say.”
Harry and Meghan gave up their royal duties and moved to California over six years ago, earning their living through lucrative contracts with Netflix and Spotify.
Relations between the couple and the rest of the royal family have soured since their move, though Harry has recently expressed an interest in mending the relationship with his father, King Charles III, who is undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.
Charles was informed of the couple’s plans on Sunday. Harry and Meghan visited the U.K. last month
While Harry has recently met with his father, there have not been any signs of close relations with his brother Prince William, the heir to the throne.
