Meghan Shares Birthday Tribute as Sussexes Settle in UK

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, shared a video tribute on Instagram to celebrate Prince Harry's 42nd birthday on September 15, 2026. The montage, set to a cover of "Simply the Best," featured nine family photographs and clips showing Harry with their children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, during outdoor activities in the UK countryside. The birthday post coincided with the family's recent relocation to the United Kingdom for an extended stay. A representative for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed they moved back to the country at the end of August ahead of the new school year, describing the move as an extended period in the UK while retaining their home in Montecito, California. Following their return, Archie and Lilibet were enrolled in a new school. A spokesperson for the Sussexes stated the decision was taken after discussions with the family's security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements. Sources close to the couple indicated the change was due to the logistical challenges of the school run for the security detail. The family's return to the UK has prompted a review of Prince Harry's security arrangements.
