LONDON, August 23. /TASS/. Prince Harry and his family - his wife Meghan Markle, and their two children - will move to the United Kingdom only temporarily, The Times quoted two sources close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as saying.

A source said that their stay would last six months, or a year, or more. They are not sure, the source said.

The source described the younger son of King Charles III and his wife as an international couple who has homes in Portugal and the United States.

The source suggested that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might decide to spend some time in Canada or Australia.

Earlier The Daily Telegraph reported that Prince Harry, along with his wife and children - 7-year-old Archie and 5-year-old Lilibet Diana - will return to the UK in August, which they left six years ago when they moved to the US. According to the story, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have already enrolled their children in a private school, which they will start attending in September. At the same time, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not return to performing royal duties.

In 2020, the couple stopped maintaining the status of senior members of the British royal family. The couple lost the opportunity to officially represent the monarch on trips, perform other ceremonial duties, and use the title of Their Highnesses. They moved to the United States and bought a house in Santa Barbara (California), paying for their security out of their own funds. Back home, Prince Harry, who ranks fifth in the line of succession to the throne, lost his state protection.
