Six years after leaving for the US, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning a return to Britain for an “extended period”.

As first reported in The Telegraph, the couple will jet back over at the end of August with their two children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five.

The newspaper added that Harry has reportedly enrolled the children in a school for September.

The King, 77, was made aware on Sunday that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex plan to return to live in the UK.

He welcomes the opportunity to see more of the family in a personal capacity, but there will be no change in their status as private individuals it is understood.

The news comes one month after Prince Harry had a reunion with his father, King Charles, and Queen Camilla, at Highgrove.
