Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle are reportedly moving back to Great Britain next month with their two children but are not expected to resume their roles as working members of the royal family.

The move comes six years after the couple stepped back from royal life to build a family in California, causing strain between the royal prince and his family. 

The family is expected to relocate to a private, non-royal residence outside of London. The children, 7-year-old Prince Archie, and 5-year-old Princess Lilibet, are enrolled to start at a British school in September, according to the BBC.

The move also comes after Harry and Meghan and their children met with King Charles at Highgrove in July, which appeared to have improved their relationship. The visit marked the first time the monarch had seen his grandchildren in person in more than four years.
