Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to the UK with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet on 26 August, landing at Birmingham Airport as the family began an extended stay in Britain. Days later, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield challenged suggestions that the move represented a show of renewed confidence, arguing that the Sussexes may be overestimating their position.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back as senior working royals in 2020 before ultimately settling in Montecito, California, following brief periods in Canada and Los Angeles. Their return does not mark a restoration of royal duties. ITV News reported before their arrival that the couple would remain private individuals and non-working members of the Royal Family.
