Prince Harry and Meghan Plan UK Return as Archie, Lilibet Prepare for British School
Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are planning to move back to the UK later this month with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, according to the BBC.
The family is supposed to move from California to a private, non-royal home outside London. Archie is seven and Lilibet is five and they are both going to a British school in September.
The transfer might be a big adjustment for the two children, who have lived in the U.S. for most of their lives, from a child-centred perspective. They will need to settle into a new home, school and social environment when they return to the UK.
The kids have already been to the UK with their parents, but haven’t seen much of their extended royal family. King Charles was told of the move and welcomed the prospect of more time with his grandchildren in private, the BBC said.
Harry and Meghan departed the UK in 2020, when they stepped back from their working royal duties, and they now reside in California. They will not resume official royal duties on their return.
Security is still a problem. Harry has voiced his concerns about taking his family to Britain after modifications to his publicly funded security arrangements.
The family will also be focusing on the transition as well as how Archie and Lilibet adapt to their new school and surroundings.
Children who are relocating between countries may find continuity, emotional support and a stable routine especially significant during significant life changes.
