Balmoral Castle has shared fresh update two days after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have arrived in Britain.

Meghan, Harry and their kids Archie and Lilibet returned to Britain on Wednesday.

They flew in from California on a private flight, touching down in Birmingham shortly before midday. There did not appear to be a police presence as the family left the airport, according to an eyewitness.

The spokesman for Meghan and Harry declined to comment on the travel arrangements, saying only that 'this is not something we would comment on.'

Meghan and Harry are reportedly also invited to Balmoral.

Two days after their return to UK, the Castle shared, “Balmoral is currently closed to the public, but if you can’t make it along to our Main Gate Gift Shop, you can still discover our exclusive collections online.”

Sharing a photo on its official Instagram handle, it further said, “Inspired by the rich heritage and timeless elegance of Balmoral, our online shop brings together a carefully curated selection of unique gifts and keepsakes.

“Explore exclusive Balmoral collections, beautiful pieces handmade by Scottish artisans, authentic local delicacies, thoughtfully presented gift boxes and much more.”

Prince William, Kate Middleton and their children have reportedly left the Balmoral.

Meanwhile, an insider has told Radar: "William's position is that Harry choosing to live in Britain again does not suddenly repair their relationship, and he isn't prepared to appear alongside him at engagements simply to create photographs suggesting otherwise.”
