Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Reportedly Move Back to England After Six Years in California

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly returned to England with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, six years after stepping back from royal duties and settling in Montecito, California. In an October 2026 interview with GQ, Harry said putting his kids in a British school“has meant a lot to me,”adding that he wanted them to experience the country where he grew up.

The move comes after a source told Us that Harry was“not as happy”in the U.S. as Meghan, who was born and raised in California. The couple plans to live outside London while holding onto their California and Portugal properties, and Harry noted the family may stay outside the U.S. for a few months while things“settle down.”

For royal watchers, the big question is what this means for Harry’s relationship with King Charles III and Prince William, plus whether the California chapter is truly closed. What do you think — permanent homecoming or extended trial run? Drop your take in the comments.
