Europe.- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, arrived this Wednesday in the United Kingdom to settle for a time in the country with their two children, Princes Archie and Lilibet, six years after the controversial “Megxit,” the couple’s break from the British Royal House, according to the BBC, information first reported by The Telegraph newspaper.
The Duke and Duchess landed by private jet this noon at Birmingham Airport, in central England, the newspaper says. Other media had reported minutes earlier that their landing was imminent.

Children enrolled
British and American media revealed last week the decision of Prince Harry, son of Charles III, and Meghan to return to the United Kingdom, where they have enrolled their children in a school. The couple, according to the Telegraph, has also traveled with their two dogs.
For security reasons, the school that the little princes will attend is unknown, but it is estimated that it will be a private one.
Last July, Harry and Meghan privately visited the King at his country residence of Highgrove, located in the county of Gloucestershire, in the west of England, although according to leaks, they did not inform the King at that time of their immediate plans to return. They were also at the mansion of Harry’s maternal uncle, Earl Spencer, in central England, where Diana, Princess of Wales, is buried.

Meghan’s appearance in a series ruled out
One of the reasons for the couple’s return, according to the media, was that Meghan was in talks to act in the Netflix series The Gentlemen, by filmmaker Guy Ritchie, but this has been denied by former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown, who stated that Meghan’s appearance in the series has been ruled out due to the “negative backlash” received.
The Duke and Duchess decided to step back from the Royal House at the beginning of 2020 to settle in California and become financially independent, but years later they harshly criticized the royal family for the alleged mistreatment Meghan received, among other things due to her mixed-race status.
Controversies
From the United States, they generated controversy to the point that they granted an interview with presenter Oprah Winfrey, to whom they revealed that a member of the royal family, whose name they did not disclose, had made a racist comment about the skin tone their son Archie would have before he was born in 2019.

Meghan also revealed that the Princess of Wales, Catherine, made her cry during a bridesmaid dress fitting before the Duke and Duchess’s wedding in 2018, and that the monarchy did not correct the initial reports that claimed it had happened the other way around.
The Duke and Duchess continued with the accusations against the monarchy in a Netflix documentary and in the book ‘Spare’, the successful autobiography of the Duke that was published after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
The duke went as far as to claim that his brother, Prince William, physically assaulted him on one occasion and threw him to the ground, causing him to fall onto a dog bowl, during an argument sparked by his relationship with Meghan, and he also attacked the reputation of his stepmother, Queen Camilla, labeling her as “dangerous” due to her willingness to forge ties with the British press.
Harry has had several run-ins with the British press, some of which have reached the courts, with no luck for the duke.
