Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been living in the UK again for a month, having relocated from California to the Cotswolds with their two young children. Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, have been uprooted from the US, and a relationship expert has offered insight into how the couple can help them adjust.
Expert advice on minimising disruption
Relationship expert Georgina Vass told Gloucestershire Live that the couple should focus on “modelling adaptation through honest communication about the hurdles, complicated feelings, and exciting opportunities.” She suggested that establishing consistent routines around school schedules, meal times, bedtimes, or weekend pursuits could help shield the children from any sense of disruption.
Vass added: “Staying emotionally connected during conflicts, tolerating disappointment or losses together, and maintaining trust through consistent engagement can help couples to emerge with a stronger bond, enhancing feelings of loyalty and mutual support.”
Where are the Sussexes living?
Rather than moving into a royal property, the family chose a private home outside London after arriving at Birmingham Airport. Their new home is believed to be in the Cotswolds, where Meghan was recently seen visiting a pub with her friend Ellen DeGeneres. The Sussexes have largely maintained a low profile since their return.
School change for Archie and Lilibet
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet were registered to begin at a British school in September. However, just two days into the term, the children switched schools due to security and logistical concerns regarding their commute. Unexpected heavy traffic on the route from where they were living to the school meant a 30-minute journey turned into an hour’s journey at rush hour.
Sources close to the couple claimed that sitting in traffic heightened their security fears as it left them as “sitting ducks,” reports The Mirror. The school the children attend has not been publicly named for safeguarding reasons.
