Royal status unchanged

The King was told of the move on Sunday and is said to welcome the chance to spend more time with his grandchildren. Officially, Harry will not resume formal royal duties and Charles has made clear their status as private, non-working members of the royal family remains as agreed when they stepped back in 2020.

A thaw after tensions

The announcement follows a recent family reunion at Highgrove House with King Charles and Queen Camilla — the first time the monarch had seen Archie and Lilibet in more than four years and only the third meeting between father and son since the King’s 2024 cancer diagnosis. Longstanding disputes over security and protection had strained relations, but the latest return appears to mark a turning point, with sources saying father and son are now in a better place. Insiders note Harry has always kept one foot in Britain.
