Duke and Duchess of Sussex move into new Cotswolds home, reports say
Key Points:
- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have moved into a new long-term home on a businessman friend's estate in the Cotswolds, ending their search for a permanent UK base after returning from California in August.
- Their children, Archie and Lillibet, are now attending school in the UK, having changed schools due to security concerns; the couple reportedly plan to keep their £19.5 million California home.
- Meghan is expected to temporarily relocate to Australia next year to co-host Junior Masterchef, with Harry and their children possibly visiting her during filming in Melbourne.
- Harry continues to seek the restoration of publicly funded police protection in the UK, a security issue that influenced their initial hesitation to return.
- An investigation has been launched into Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, over alleged child sex abuse images, causing Meghan distress; the Metropolitan Police is under scrutiny for failing to share related information with other law enforcement agencies.
