The Duke and Duchess of Sussex plan to move back to the UK later this month and will live in a private, non-royal residence outside London, the BBC reports. Their children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, are enrolled to start at a British school in September. King Charles was told of the move on Sunday; the BBC says he had not been aware before last weekend but welcomes the chance to see the family more in a private capacity. There are no plans for Prince Harry or Meghan to resume roles as working royals and their official status will remain as private individuals. The Prince and Princess of Wales have been informed. The BBC noted the couple last visited the King at Highgrove in July, that visit being the first time the King had seen his grandchildren in person in more than four years, and that security for the Sussexes has been a longstanding point of contention. The Home Office said decisions on royal security sit with RAVEC and that the UK protective security system is rigorous and proportionate, while Invictus Games organisers said having Prince Harry back in the country ahead of the Birmingham games next year is welcome news.
