Story summary

Prince Harry recently told Canadian network CTV that his children, Archie (7) and Lilibet (5), are "happy in school" following their family's return to Britain on August 26 after six years living in California. Security concerns prompted a move to a different school shortly after they started the new term. Harry emphasized it was great being back on British soil and expressed his focus on organizing the Invictus Games scheduled for July next year in Birmingham, which he described as an opportunity to help military veterans. Despite returning, tensions remain with Buckingham Palace regarding their status within the royal family, leading to a letter circulated by the Lord Chamberlain asserting Harry and Meghan are private citizens rather than working royals.
