Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have arrived in Britain with their children Archie and Lilibet, a royal expert has claimed.

Royal expert Chris Ship tweeted, “NEW: Prince Harry and Meghan have landed in the UK to start their new chapter here. They arrived a Birmingham airport around midday. They were given no police protection for their arrival.”

“They are here with children Archie & Lilibet who start school in the UK shortly,” the expert further said.

The BBC also reported Harry and his family arrived back in Britain on Wednesday, days after it was revealed the couple were relocating six years after quitting royal duties and moving to the United States.

Last week, Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, surprised even their close family when it was disclosed that they would move back from California to somewhere outside London for what was described as an extended period of time.

Meghan and Harry’s children Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, will start school in Britain in September.

Precise details about where they will be based or the school the children will attend are being kept private.

However, they will not be living in a royal residence or carrying out official duties.

The BBC said they had landed in Britain after flying in from ⁠California privately on Wednesday. There was no immediate comment from Harry's spokesperson.
