Meghan Markle's 2022 "Problem" With England Resurfaces as Royal Family Reportedly Plans U.K. Move for School

Meghan Markle once said she couldn’t see herself doing school drop-offs in England because of the intense public attention. In a 2022 interview, she called it a matter of protecting her child. Now, new reports from this week suggest she and Prince Harry are planning to move back to the U.K. in time for Archie and Lilibet to start the fall school term.

The family reportedly plans to keep their Montecito, California home while spending time across the pond. This comes less than a month after the kids visited England for the first time in four years, which included a low-key reunion with King Charles III during his cancer treatment. Neither Harry nor Meghan has publicly confirmed the move, and Prince Harry had told the BBC as recently as 2025 that he couldn’t“see a world”where he’d travel to England with his family.

So what changed? It could be the school options, a desire to reconnect with family, or simply a new chapter. Whatever the reason, it’s a big shift from where things stood just a few years ago. Royal watchers and parents alike are paying attention. Do you think they’re making the right call for their kids? Let us know in the comments.
