King Charles III has been informed of the move and reportedly welcomes the chance to spend more time with his grandchildren. Prince William and Princess Kate have also been informed.

Here are some of Harry and Meghan's most explosive claims and remarks about royal life, the British press and the U.K.
PRINCE HARRY, MEGHAN MARKLE PLANNING TO MOVE BACK TO UK WITH CHILDREN 6 YEARS AFTER ROYAL EXIT: REPORTS
Nearly a year after walking away from their working royal roles, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sat down for a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
Opening up about the immense pressure that drove them across the Atlantic, Harry didn't hold back when describing the reality of life behind palace walls.
The Duke of Sussex said he would not have walked away without Meghan, explaining, "I wouldn't have been able to, because I myself was trapped. I didn't see a way out."
"I was trapped, but I didn't know I was trapped," Harry told Winfrey at the time, before adding, "My father and my brother, they are trapped."

The explosive interview revealed the extent of Harry's strained relationships with his family. He said he felt "really let down" by his father and described himself and Prince William as being on "different paths."
The Sussex’s' tell-all quickly escalated tensions with the royal family when Meghan made a staggering allegation about conversations behind palace doors.
During their March 2021 sit-down with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan made allegations about concerns within the royal family over the skin color of her firstborn son, Archie.
Meghan said it was the palace — not her and Prince Harry — that decided Archie would not receive a royal title or royal security. She also claimed they were never asked to pose for the traditional hospital steps photo after Archie's birth.

Meghan also addressed security concerns surrounding her son's birth:
When Winfrey pressed on who made the remarks, Meghan refused to name names, saying that revealing the identity of the royal involved would be "very damaging" to the family.
Meghan also rejected comparisons between the press scrutiny she received and the negative coverage Princess Kate faced before marrying Prince William.
Meghan and Prince Harry said racism in the U.K. media and a lack of support from the palace contributed to their decision to leave. In a follow-up clip on " CBS This Morning ," Meghan explained her view:
Meghan, whose father is White and mother is Black, said Princess Kate had a press team that could publicly defend her, while she and Harry did not receive the same support.

The royal scandal reached a harrowing peak when Meghan Markle said she experienced suicidal thoughts while serving as a working royal.
When Oprah Winfrey asked if relentless media scrutiny drove her to the edge, the Duchess said:
Prince Harry said he entered a "very dark place" watching his wife suffer. He has repeatedly drawn parallels between the media attention surrounding Meghan and the treatment of his late mother, Princess Diana , and said his requests for help from his family were met with "total silence" and "total neglect."
When asked whether she was "silent or silenced," Meghan didn't hesitate: "The latter." However, she praised Queen Elizabeth II as "warm, inviting and really welcoming."

Meanwhile, the fallout was immediate. Just two days after the interview shook the monarchy, then-Prince Charles stepped out to visit a London vaccine clinic. When reporters shouted questions about the bombshell conversation, the future king at the time simply chuckled, remained silent and carried on walking.
