## A family reel
Meghan shared a short video of the Sussex family back in England, with Lilibet biking, Archie running beside her, Harry fishing, and countryside walks.

> Go! Go!
## The caption says plenty
The post used only two emojis, a British flag and a red heart, letting the images carry the message about the family’s new chapter.
## Archie stands out
Archie’s cheering drew notice because his few words carried a distinct British accent, a small sign of how quickly the children’s lives are shifting.
## School comes first
Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, have started school in the UK. People reports the move was shaped around helping them settle smoothly.
## Not back to court
Harry and Meghan returned on August 26, six years after leaving for California, but they chose a private nonroyal home as their British base.
## Three homes, one focus
The couple will keep homes in California and Portugal too. For now, a source says their attention is on the children after moving halfway across the world.

> They are happy to be back.
## Key takeaway

Harry and Meghan’s UK return appears centered on Archie and Lilibet settling into school, not a return to royal duties.
