The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are days away from relocating back to Britain with their children, but the move may not be permanent.
Relocation plans revealed
Last week, it was reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, alongside their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will be moving back to Britain. The children have reportedly been enrolled in British schools, though the exact name and location of the school have not been revealed.
The family would live in a private, non-royal residence, with the location kept private for security reasons. The motive behind the move was not reported.
Source hints at temporary stay
While many believe the Sussex family will be back in the UK permanently, someone close to the couple revealed it could actually only be temporary.
The source told The Times: “It’ll be an extended period of time — it could be six months, it could be a year, it could be more — I don’t think even they know yet.
“They might suddenly go: ‘Why don’t we try Canada for a while? Why don’t we try Australia?’ It’s one of the great things about being private individuals [that they can live where they choose].”
No official statement yet
Harry and Meghan themselves have not released a statement on their upcoming move back to Harry’s home country. Rumours have been swirling about why they are relocating, with some people believing it is due to Harry’s desire to be close to King Charles.
Other reports suggest that Meghan has been offered an acting role based in Britain, although there is no official confirmation.
Family set to fly before end of August
The family are reportedly set to fly over from California before the end of August, allowing the children to settle before they start at their new school. It has been reported that the family will keep their Montecito home in America, and their Portugal holiday home.
It has also been reported that the family's chickens will stay at the Montecito home, while the family's two dogs are expected to fly over to the UK with them.
