It's understood that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to return to the UK with their two children.09:59, 20 Aug 2026Updated 10:01, 20 Aug 2026Prince Harry 'incredibly proud of the UK' says David Wiseman Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the UK back in 2020 as they made the move to America.However, after six years in the US, it's reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to relocate back, with the move 'imminent'.It's been reported that their two children have been enrolled to start a British school in September, with King Charles being told about their return on Sunday.While little more information has been announced, there are no plans for them to resume their roles as working Royals and will live in a private, non-royal residence outside London, according to reports.During Thursday's BBC Breakfast (August 20), royal correspondent Sarah Campbell told Charlie Stayt and Rachel Burden that the announcement of his return is a 'complete surprise'.She added: "We should be used to Harry and Meghan surprises over the years, but this was a big one."As she explained that their two children, Archie and Lilibet, have been enrolled in schools in the UK, Sarah highlighted that their move will be 'imminent' as the term begins at the start of September.However, the royal correspondent shared one concern Harry and Meghan may have during their return.She shared: "The big issue is security because, as we know, that's been such a sticky point for Prince Harry over the years. He gave that interview to the BBC last May, where he said he couldn't see a time when he would bring his family back because his security was downgraded."When he ceased to be a working member of the royal family, it was downgraded, so he didn't automatically get the police protection that working members of the royal family get; it's on a case-by-case basis. Has something changed on that front? If it has, we're not aware of it."That's obviously going to be an issue and has been an issue; why is it not now? So many questions to be answered."Elsewhere, the two BBC presenters spoke to someone closer to Harry about the move back to the UK, David Wiseman from the Invictus Games Foundation.As Charlie highlighted how proud Harry is of his country, having served in the British Army, David replied: "Of course he is, he's a member of the royal family and a British citizen."Of course, he's incredibly proud of the UK and as I say, anybody who has served in the forces, it doesn't matter if that's the British army or forces around the world, as we've found from our experience across the 26 nations of the Invictus community, everybody who has served has an incredibly deep-rooted sense of patriotism.David later shared that Harry's 'drive, direction and passion' has been a real driving force in the Invictus movement.Article continues belowHe added: "I'm not sure if that's been a factor in his decision-making for coming back to the UK, but we will certainly benefit from him being back home in Great Britain. Having him close, having him embedded within the team in the run-up to Birmingham next year."BBC Breakfast is available to watch on BBC One from 6am.
