Most read in The Sun The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, returned to Britain last week. The family are now said to be settling into life in the UK after six years living in the US. The Cotswolds has been suggested as the most likely destination, with the couple understood to have already found a new home there. The pair quit the monarchy six years ago and moved to the US, where they have since criticised members of the Royal Family and the institution. They will remain non-working royals despite their return to Britain. The Sussexes also reunited with King Charles last month in a major thawing of relations between father and son. But their move has left a string of questions unanswered, including how long they will stay and where exactly they will live. There is also uncertainty over whether UK taxpayers will foot the bill for their security. Trump has long been enamoured of the British Royal Family. Queen Elizabeth II hosted him for a state visit during his first term, while King Charles welcomed him during his second. That gave Trump the rare distinction of making two state visits to Britain as US President. He returned the favour in April by hosting King Charles and Queen Camilla for a state visit to the US. Harry and Meghan’s relocation has also raised questions over the future of the 2020 Sandringham Agreement, dubbed “Megxit”.
