Prince William, Kate Middleton head home just as Harry and Meghan return to the UK

Prince William and Kate Middleton have returned to the home from their summer stay at Balmoral.

Just as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle return to the UK, the Prince and Princess of Wales prepare for family transition.

The Wales have reportedly left the Scottish Highlands with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, earlier this week after spending time with members of the royal family at Balmoral.

This comes as the couple's eldest son George is expected to begin boarding school at Eton College, following in the footsteps of both his father and uncle in September. Meanwhile, his younger siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, will continue their education at Lambrook School.

On the other hand, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also announced plans to relocate their family to the U.K. for an extended period. 

The couple and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, arrived in Britain on August 26, 2026 after traveling from California.

For those unaware, William and Harry's relationship remains strained, with the brothers reportedly having little contact. 

Insiders previously revealed to People Magazine that Harry's return could provide the "best opportunity" in years for the siblings to begin repairing their relationship.
