Prince Harry and his wife Meghan touched down in Britain over the weekend, according to news sources.

The couple are anticipated to spend a lengthy period in the country alongside their son Archie, who is seven, and daughter Lilibet, who is five.

Sources indicate the children have been registered at British educational establishments and are slated to begin classes next week.

Word of their homecoming emerged last week, though King Charles reportedly received just four days’ notice ahead of the announcement.

The BBC confirmed they had reached British soil, while The Daily Telegraph disclosed their aircraft touched down at Birmingham Airport around midday.

The decision to use that particular airport has prompted suggestions the family could be eyeing a base in the Cotswolds region.

It appears they intend to maintain ownership of their California residence and a home in Spain, choosing to reside in a non-royal property away from London.

There are presently no arrangements for them to resume official royal responsibilities.

The couple departed Britain and withdrew from their royal positions at the beginning of 2020, establishing their home in California by March of that year.

Meghan is expected to manage her California enterprise, As Ever, remotely from Britain, making periodic trips back to the United States.

Security arrangements for the family while in Britain have sparked conversation following the announcement of their visit, though details regarding measures and funding remain unclear.

The family made a brief trip to Britain in July for their summer break, during which they toured Althorp in West Northamptonshire, the historic estate of Diana, Princess of Wales, where she is interred.
