Daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex; eleventh great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced plans to return to the United Kingdom later this month, settling in a private residence outside London. They have enrolled their children, Archie and Lilibet, in a British school for the new term, and the couple will remain private individuals with no working royal status. The King has been notified and welcomes more family time.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will start September classes in Britain as Harry and Meghan plan to live outside London. King Charles, recently treated for cancer, has been informed; Buckingham Palace has not commented. The move follows years of tension since the couple’s departure for California.
Prince George has been confirmed to attend Eton College from this September, moving from Lambrook as part of his education ahead of royal duties. The palace announcement follows weeks of schooling speculation. George will join a long line of notable alumni at Eton, near Windsor, alongside siblings Charlotte and Louis.
Prince Harry has visited the UK this month for charity and Invictus events and has met King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove. The meeting has allowed Harry’s children, Archie and Lilibet, to see their grandfather for the first time since 2022. The trip has followed his loss in a High Court privacy case and a dispute over state-funded security for his family.
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have welcomed their third child, a baby girl born in Lisbon on Aug. 3. The couple is taking time to decide on a name as details emerge, following previous births of August and Ernest. The royal family has been informed and is delighted by the news.
