Before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they would be moving back to the UK, Harry had already dropped a major hint that the couple could relocate. Harry spoke with British singer Joss Stone at an event in September 2025 about her decision to move back to the UK after living in Nashville for several years.
Harry's Conversation with Joss Stone
“He joked about me having four children, saying it's 'two too many,' or maybe it wasn't a joke!” she continued. “He also asked about how we were settling back in and was genuinely interested in our move home.” “Maybe Harry will move back too. That would be nice,” Joss said.
Joss added: “He was saying how wonderful the schools are here and how important community is for children. “It was nice to share that with him because it's exactly why we felt drawn to come back – for the kids to grow up surrounded by family, friends, and a strong sense of belonging and, most importantly, in a safe environment,” reports Hello! Magazine.
Children Enrolled in UK Schools
The couple have reportedly already enrolled their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, into schools in Britain, starting in September. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their royal roles in 2020 and have been living in the USA for the years since.
The couple will return before the end of the month but where they are set to live is currently unknown. It is understood there will be no change to the Sussexes’ role and status as private individuals and non-working members of the Royal Family.
Royal Family Informed
The King was reportedly first made aware of the move on Sunday, only three days before it was made public. It is understood that King Charles would welcome the opportunity to see more of the family both in a private and personal capacity.
Prince Harry arrived in the UK for a five-day visit just last month, mainly to mark the one-year-to-go event for the Invictus Games in Birmingham. King Charles met with Prince Harry at Highgrove House along with Queen Camilla, Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
