Prince Harry is set to resume public outings in Britain, though royal status is unclear

Prince Harry and wife Meghan have kept a low profile since returning to Britain three weeks ago but, as his first public engagements loom, tensions over their security and monarchy relationship have surfaced.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex relocated from California on August 26 and have not spoken publicly yet, nor even issued a public statement officially confirming the surprise move.

However, in recent days Meghan has used her personal Instagram account to offer glimpses of their new U.K. life, coinciding with the prince’s 42nd birthday on Tuesday.

Reportedly now based in central England’s Cotswolds region, she posted a montage of family videos — featuring their son Archie, 7, and daughter Lilibet, 5 as well as their two dogs — enjoying the English countryside.

Prior to that, King Charles III’s youngest son had only been seen publicly on September 7, when photographs of a visit to a London recording studio appeared on Instagram.

Harry’s presence back in Britain is set to become more visible later this week, when he is due to appear at several events linked to his Invictus Games charity for wounded veterans.

He will attend a September 21 awards ceremony for the WellChild charity, which he has been a patron of for nearly two decades.

The couple’s shock return has featured prominently across Britain’s newspapers and on television news bulletins, but the media has complied with a request not to reveal their exact new whereabouts or which schools their children are attending.

However, several outlets reported Monday that both children had changed schools just a few days into term over security fears.
