Prince Harry, Meghan and family to move back to UK, the ABC understands

Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are planning to move back to the UK this month, according to media reports. 

Harry, the younger son of King Charles, and his wife intend to relocate from the US to a private, non-royal residence outside London, the BBC reported. 

The couple's children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, are also expected to start at a British school in September.

The news was first reported by British media, but spokespeople for ⁠Harry and Meghan had no immediate ‌comment.

The BBC reported King Charles was told of the move on Sunday, local time. 

Earlier in July, the family dropped out of a joint visit to London, with The Telegraph newspaper reporting the decision was taken after a request for police protection was denied.

It has been six years since the pair stepped down from their royal duties.
