Prince Harry Reveals Reasons for Family's U.K. Move

In his first interview since relocating back to the U.K., Prince Harry shared insights into his family's move during a sit-down with GQ’s Zach Baron. The Duke of Sussex, along with Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, returned to Britain after stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and living in California.

The Sussexes announced their move back in August 2026, with their children enrolled in a British school. Harry expressed that the opportunity for his children to experience a British education was significant for him, stating, “I didn’t know how important it was to me.” He noted that the children were enjoying their new school experience, which provided them with a different cultural perspective.

Additionally, Harry mentioned the importance of being closer to family and friends, allowing for more playdates and social interactions for their children. The decision to move was not planned far in advance but was made when the circumstances felt right.
