Harry and Meghan Settle on a Celebrity Home as They Quietly Tour UK Schools for Archie and Lilibet
For now, the exact location of the Sussexes' new house and their children's school is being kept private owing to security reasons
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly heading back to the UK later this month, six years after leaving Britain and settling in California. The news has many wondering whether they will go back to living in palaces as before, but recent reports suggest this will not be the case. Harry and Markle will neither be joining the Firm nor will they live in palaces; instead, they are expected to set up home in a private, non-royal residence outside London, while their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are set to join a local British school in September.
Reports have suggested that their new UK home could be connected to the celebrity world, although the identity of the owner has not been publicly confirmed. According to the Daily Mail, Markle has already been quietly looking at schools for Archie and Lilibet. The Duchess reportedly made a private visit to two schools in the Cotswolds during a secret trip to the area back in July.
As per the outlet, Harry and Markle will settle somewhere close to the kids' new school, preferably in the countryside. The family is also keeping their Montecito home and their property in Portugal, meaning the UK move does not necessarily mean they are leaving the US behind for good. Markle “privately toured two schools” during the couple's visit. Archie and Lilibet are understood to have already been enrolled at a British school and are expected to begin their new school year in September.
The report further suggests that the couple might prefer to stay in the Cotswolds, as they lived there shortly after their wedding. The Daily Mail said the family has “already secured a new home in Britain” and that the property's location is being kept secret. For the unversed, the Cotswolds is home to several famous names, including David and Victoria Beckham.
For now, the exact location of the Sussexes' new house and their children's school is being kept private owing to security reasons. But the Sussexes' preparation for their new British chapter appears to be going strong.
