Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are returning to the UK this month, enrolling their children in a British school.
The couple intends to reside in a non-royal property outside of London, following previous residences in Canada and Montecito, California.
Harry's security level changed after he ceased being a working royal in 2020; he awaited a review by the Risk Management Board concerning his security needs in late June.
The Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures reportedly rejected a request for taxpayer-funded police security for the family's summer visit in June 2026.
Well, this is a private matter. It’s a matter for Harry and for Meghan, and we wish them well in the moves that they’re making.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated, "Well, this is a private matter. It’s a matter for Harry and for Meghan, and we wish them well in the moves that they’re making."
The Duke of Sussex has been involved in a legal dispute with the Home Office regarding security arrangements in the UK.
Harry wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood in October, asking for a re-evaluation of his security when in the UK.
Dorothy Reddin claims the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are sending their children, Archie, 7, and Lilibet, to a school in England.
It has not been revealed which school Archie and Lilibet will attend or where they will be based, due to privacy and security reasons, Dorothy Reddin claims.
The Sussexes will not resume their roles as working royals, it is understood.
Meghan will continue to run her lifestyle brand, As Ever, from their new base, with Dorothy Reddin claiming the Duchess launched the brand while the Duke focused mainly on charitable endeavours.
The couple is understood to retain their Montecito home and their Portuguese summer house, despite moving back to the UK.
The King reportedly learned of Harry and Meghan's planned move back to Britain just three days before it was publicly announced.
Dorothy Reddin claims it has been revealed that Harry and Meghan will not receive any money from the public purse while back in the UK.
The Duke and six other well-known people are due to find out on Friday how many millions of pounds they will have to pay in legal costs to the Daily Mail's publisher after their failed High Court case.
