A timeline of Prince Harry and Meghan's relationship with the royal family
The couple’s return follows years of legal battles and family strain, while King Charles III will spend more time with his grandchildren.
On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, reports confirmed Prince Harry and Meghan will return to the United Kingdom, signaling an end to their yearslong rift with the royal family.
Since stepping back as senior royals in 2020, the couple has resided in California amid allegations of hostility and racist attitudes from the press and royal establishment.
Harry, Meghan, and their two children recently visited King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House, a country estate west of London, to repair family ties.
Although the couple will not resume duties as working members of the royal family, the move allows King Charles, currently receiving treatment for cancer, to spend more time with his grandchildren.
Legal battles against the Mirror Group and Associated Newspapers have characterized their recent years, though the family now seeks to prioritize personal reconciliation over past conflicts.
