Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have made the United Kingdom the center of their lives once again, along with Archie and Lilibet. After six years in Montecito, California, the family is now living in England for an extended period.
The focus is also on the children’s daily lives, as they are set to attend a private school in the UK. Special rules are already in place for parents ahead of the new school year, and a warning letter has reportedly even been sent out.
Parents Received Guidance on Photos and Social Media
According to [source], royal expert Kinsey Schofield told Page Six: “The message sent to families essentially said that, from time to time, some families joining the school may attract a greater level of public or media interest.”
Residents of the Cotswolds and parents were reportedly informed about new guidelines for dealing with prominent students. The letter also emphasized that all children should be able to enjoy school in a safe, happy, and private environment.
The Sussex Children’s School Remains Unknown
The letter also reminded parents and caregivers not to take photos or videos of other children without permission. Photos, information, or personal details about students and their families should also not be shared on social media. The school said to have issued the letter has not been publicly identified.
The Cotswolds Emerge as a Possible New Home
More details have since emerged about the family’s move. Harry and Meghan left their Montecito estate and flew to the UK on a private charter jet. British hedge fund billionaire Ian Wace is reportedly said to have helped finance the move, although apparently not for the entire duration of their stay, according to Page Six.
It remains unclear exactly where the family is now living. The couple had previously been looking for a home in the Cotswolds, a region in southwestern England.
Harry’s Relationship With King Charles Plays a Role
Family is also said to be a major factor behind the return. Harry reportedly wants his children to live closer to their grandfather, King Charles III, whose cancer diagnosis was made public in 2024. It is also said to be important to him that Archie and Lilibet build relationships with other members of the royal family.
According to [source], royal correspondent Tom Sykes told Page Six: “Obviously, that’s where he grew up, living with his father and brother there, and has happy memories."
However, given the ongoing rift between Harry and Prince William, a reconciliation between the brothers and their children is considered unlikely.
