The news comes after years of strain in the couple's relationship with the royal family.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back to the UK.

On Wednesday, People reported that the couple would be moving back to Britain "for an extended period of time" with their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex won't return to their royal duties, which they stepped back from in January 2020, but they plan to live near London.

The move will put them in proximity to King Charles, Prince William, and the rest of the royal family for the first time in over six years.

Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, have had a strained relationship with the royals since they decided to step back from their royal duties.

Meghan has largely focused on her As Ever brand in the US in recent years, but Harry has visited his father a handful of times since the king was diagnosed with cancer in February 2024.

Here's a timeline of Harry and Meghan's relationship with the royal family.

Prince Harry appeared close to his brother growing up, though his relationship with his father was more complicated.
