In a move that has shocked the world, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have left California and moved back to the U.K.
They will keep their homes in California and Portugal, The Hollywood Reporter understands, and aim to stay across the pond for an undisclosed period of time. A person with knowledge of their plans told THR the couple had “such a wonderful trip” overseas this summer — during which they spent time with the King at his royal residence, Highgrove, as well as the family of Harry’s mother, Diana — that they decided to extend their stay.
The pair landed last week with their children, 7-year-old Prince Archie and 5-year-old Princess Lilibet, and two dogs, Mia and Pula, according to the BBC. The family is said to be based in the Cotswolds, in a house “without royal trappings,” and has arrived just in time for Archie and Lilibet to enroll in schools for the start of the autumn term. (Note: They haven’t yet shared which schools, though their cousins, Prince Charlotte and Prince Louis, are at Lambrook in Berkshire, with heir to the throne Prince George just about to start at the prestigious Eton College this month.)
It is unlikely that, as the saying goes, time has healed all wounds. So what are we to expect, and will the infamously vicious British press finally give the Sussexes some respite?
