Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back across the pond. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, along with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will leave Southern California and relocate to the United Kingdom for an “extended period of time,” a source told to NBC News. Their move is likely to take place within the next two weeks as Archie and Lili have been enrolled in British schools starting in September, according to multiple reports. The news comes over a month after the Sussex family reunited for the first time in four years with King Charles and Queen Camilla in England. However, a source told NBC News that the King was first made aware of the couple’s plans on Sunday, Aug. 16 – confirming reports that it was not raised or discussed with the monarch during the summer visit. "King Charles welcomes the opportunity to see more of the Sussex family in a private and personal capacity but made clear that there will be no change to the Duke and Duchess’s status as private individuals and non-working members of the royal family,” the source noted, adding, “There remains no ‘half in/half out’ option.” A spokesperson for the couple did not deny the reported move plans when reached by NBC News.
