Sawt Falasteen - Prince Harry and family arrive back in Britain: UK media

The couple -- who quit Britain and royal duties six years ago and moved to California -- landed aboard a private jet at Birmingham Airport, The Telegraph newspaper and other media said.

The paper and others report they plan to stay for "an extended period", living in a home in the Cotswolds region of central England, having enrolled their children at a school for the coming academic year.

But The Telegraph also noted the pair intend to keep their existing homes in California and Portugal.

Their two children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, have already been signed up at a private school for the start of the academic year in early September, according to multiple British media outlets.

Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45 -- whose titles are the duke and duchess of Sussex -- swapped the United Kingdom for the United States amid a bitter feud with his family, which only worsened as Harry published his tell-all memoir "Spare".

A no-holds-barred interview with US talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey also deepened the rift.

He appeared to have mended relations with his cancer-battling father, King Charles III during recent visits to the UK, but Harry reportedly remains estranged from his heir-to-the-throne brother Prince William and wife Catherine.

Many questions remain unanswered about their return, including whether they will receive publicly-funded security.

Harry has said he did not feel safe bringing his family to Britain after losing a court battle over the provision of government-funded police protection while he lived overseas.
