Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been given a simple piece of advice as their family adjusts to life in the UK. Relationship expert Georgina Vass suggested that the couple focus on "honest communication." This comes as the couple helps their children navigate the major transition.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to the UK with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, after leaving the country back in 2020. The family is now believed to be living in the Cotswolds after relocating from California.
Speaking to "Gloucestershire Live", relationship expert Georgina Vass said the couple could help their children adapt by "modelling adaptation through honest communication about the hurdles, complicated feelings, and exciting opportunities." The expert also suggested creating consistent routines around school, meals, bedtime, and weekends. According to Vass, familiar routines could help reduce feelings of disruption while the children settle into their new surroundings.
Her advice also focused on Harry and Meghan's relationship. She said staying emotionally connected during disagreements and sharing disappointments could help couples develop stronger trust and mutual support. She added, "Relationships strengthened by adversity can develop greater resilience, honesty, and confidence in their ability to survive difficulty together as a team."
The move has also brought changes to Archie and Lilibet's education. The Sussexes' kids were initially registered at a British school in September. However, reports claimed the children later switched schools because of security and logistical concerns surrounding the route to that specific school. The school has not been publicly identified for safeguarding reasons. Reports suggested heavy traffic during rush hour had significantly increased the journey time, creating additional concerns around security.

Royal fans reportedly have a negative opinion of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's UK move. For those unversed, as per multiple reports, the Sussexes flew privately from California to Birmingham on August 26. The couple will reportedly stay in the UK for an extended period of time along with their children, Archie and Lilibet. Now, royal fans have weighed in on Harry and Meghan's "power move" and whether it was the right decision.
Royal fans reportedly bust Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's UK power move. Daily Express conducted a poll on September 4 and another recently on September 7, where they asked royal fans if the Sussexes would regret moving to Britain.
A jaw-dropping 92 percent, that is, 3,179 votes of the 3,474 people, voted that Harry and Meghan will regret moving back. A small percentage, which is 5 percent, or a mere 186 votes, revealed that they don't think the Sussexes will regret their decision. However, an additional 3 percent, which is 109 votes, confessed that they don't know if the couple is going to regret their decision or not.
Furthermore, a royal expert explained that this is not the "power move" Harry and Meghan think it is. Kinsey Schofield discussed the matter with host Rita Panahi on News24. Schofield said: "I think the Sussexes have a history of overestimating their leverage. Six years later, they're the ones coming back. I'm not sure that's the power move they think it is."
As per PEOPLE, the Sussexes will reside in a private, non-royal home, while retaining their homes in Portugal and Montecito. The couple is reportedly eyeing a home in the Cotswolds to be in close proximity to King Charles' private residence, Highgrove House in Gloucestershire. Also, it offers the pair much-needed privacy.

Forest Green Rovers winger Joshua Osude is set to miss more than two months after falling while getting out of the shower and partially rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament.
The 27-year-old has featured in all five National League matches so far this season for Robbie Savage's side, scoring a goal in the 2-1 win at Worthing.
"He came in on Tuesday morning because we were in for a debrief, warm-down and recovery and Josh, who has been a shining light for us this season, said 'I've got out the shower, slipped, knee swollen up' and he's got a partial rupture of his ACL," Savage told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
"Not good news - he's going to be out for eight to 12 weeks."

After spending six years in Montecito, California, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have now returned to the UK. However, a new report claims that their homecoming has made little difference to Prince William and Kate Middleton. The news comes as the brothers' bond remains deeply strained since Megxit, fractured by explosive interviews and claims in Harry's memoir, "Spare."
After years across the Atlantic, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to the UK last week with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Yet a friend of the Waleses has said that the move "won't make any difference" in mending fences with Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Before making their surprise comeback, the Duke and ******* ss of Sussex were seen at King Charles's Highgrove residence in Gloucestershire back in July. Royal observers interpreted the visit as a bid to rebuild relations with the royal family. It follows backlash over their media appearances and Harry's 2023 book, "Spare."
But a confidant of Prince William and Kate Middleton told the Daily Mail, "It makes no difference if Harry and Meghan are in Oxfordshire, California or Timbuktu. William and Catherine will continue their lives of public service. They intend to lead by example."
In fact, the royal heir is heading to India in November, with reports suggesting that Princess Catherine could join him. William will head to India for the Earthshot Prize in November 2026, though organizers have not yet confirmed the exact dates. While the Princess of Wales' attendance remains unconfirmed, the trip would mark the pair's first overseas visit since the Sussexes' return to the UK.

Organisers of a music festival say they are "truly sorry" for cancelling the event which had already been postponed.
Existance Festival was due to take place at Boldridge Farm in Tetbury, Gloucestershire from 3-6 September after being postponed in June due to "compliance issues".
The festival was given the green light in August but organisers said it would not go ahead because of several issues, including the "very late" licence approval.
In a post on social media last week, the team behind Existance Festival said it would instead take place between 10-13 June 2027.

England have named a 15-member squad for the third and final Rothesay Test against Pakistan, with the hosts looking to complete a 3-0 series sweep at Edgbaston from September 9. England have already secured an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series after a dominant innings-and-103-run victory at Headingley and a 194-run win at Lord's.

Fast bowler Brydon Carse remains absent from the squad as he continues to be under police investigation following his arrest in Derby last month.
Brydon Carse was left out of the second Test at Lord's after being arrested outside a nightclub on August 22. Derbyshire Police confirmed that an investigation is ongoing into allegations of ******* ault. Although Carse returned to domestic cricket last week and featured in Durham's County Championship win over Gloucestershire, he was not selected for their ongoing fixture against Northamptonshire and has not been recalled to the England squad.

Uncapped Hampshire seamer Sonny Baker, who replaced Carse ahead of the Lord's Test, retains his place in the squad. Matthew Fisher is the only player to be left out from the group that travelled to Lord's.
With England set to play six white-ball matches against Sri Lanka immediately after the Pakistan series, the management could opt to rotate some of its frontline quicks. Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue are among those who could be managed, potentially opening the door for Baker, Sam Cook or Shoaib Bashir to feature at Edgbaston.

Cook has played just one Test, against Zimbabwe last summer, while Bashir is yet to feature in the ongoing series after England opted for an all-pace attack. Baker, meanwhile, has one Test appearance to his name, having played against New Zealand at The Oval in June.

Hundreds of people gathered to watch the annual August bank holiday tradition of teams playing football matches in a shallow river.
The River Windrush football match, hosted by Bourton Rovers Football Club in Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire, involves players competing in ankle-deep water.
Those who were brave enough to stand on the edge of the riverbank came equipped with waterproof jackets and umbrellas to stay dry while the players contested the game, which finished 3-3.
The tradition is said to have started more than 100 years ago when drinkers in a riverside pub got bored and decided to stage an impromptu match in the water.

Queen Camilla's reported stance toward Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has emerged as the Sussexes prepare for an extended return to the UK. The development follows their quiet but significant reunion with King Charles and Camilla at Highgrove House, the monarch's private Gloucestershire residence, last month.
Despite being targeted in Prince Harry's memoir "Spare," Queen Camilla is said to have shown generosity during their recent meeting. The Queen Consort featured in several of the Duke's claims in the book, which was released in 2023.
In "Spare," Harry reportedly referred to Her Majesty more than 60 times, calling her "the Other Woman" and his "wicked stepmother." The remarks were reportedly deeply upsetting to King Charles. Hence, ahead of the Sussexes' return to Britain, critics have called for a firm stance to be taken against them.
Yet, according to the Daily Mail, the Queen reportedly greeted Prince Harry warmly with a smile and offered him tea during their private family gathering in Gloucestershire. The gesture of goodwill is said to have eased some of the Sussexes' concerns about returning to the UK.
However, the report suggested that a similarly warm reception may be unlikely from Prince William and Kate Middleton. The heir to the throne remains estranged from his brother following a series of accusations Harry has made against the Waleses, Charles, and Camilla since the "Megxit" crisis in 2020.

Princess Anne, 76, takes her role within the royal family very seriously, racking up a whopping 478 engagements in 2025. Despite being a decade past retirement age, the Princess Royal spends her days travelling up and down the country to greet people and represent the monarchy. When she does get downtime, she retreats to Gatcombe Park, her beloved country home in Gloucestershire, away from the glare of the spotlight. Insiders tell ***** O! what life is really like at her private home.
"Gatcombe is her bolthole, where she is not the Princess Royal – she is Anne," says Ailsa Anderson, a former communications secretary to Queen Elizabeth II. "It's a lot less formal; she has Zara and Mike still living on the estate, and Peter and Harriet nearby." The Princess Royal's daughter Zara lives at Aston Farm on the estate with her former rugby player husband Mike Tindall and their three children, Mia, Lena and Lucas.

Royal author Robert Hardman agrees with Ailsa. "Gatcombe is her happy place; she's fundamentally a country person," he says. Her relationship with her children and grandchildren is "very no-nonsense", he adds. "It's very normal; there isn't any standing on ceremony, and she's the only one with a ***** le.
"She's a very good grandmother. She's hands-on, but like all grandchildren, I think they can get away with things. She dotes on them."

Prince Harry doesn't expect a warm welcome from Queen Camilla when he and Meghan Markle move back to the U.K. this fall, says a source.
"There's a lot of hostility between them that's running just below the surface," the source tells Examiner. "Just because she was courteous and made nice the last time Harry was there doesn't mean the bad blood has gone away."
In July, King Charles III and his wife, 79, hosted the Duke and ***** ss of Sussex, as well as their kids, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire, England. It was the first time all six family members had been in the same place in four years.
"She's still deeply resentful over what he said in Spare, though," the source admits. "By all accounts, there's been no apology from Harry. And there's not likely to be any apology because Harry is still just as resentful of Camilla."

King Charles has learned about Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children's planned return to the UK. This time, however, they are not returning for an emotional reunion but to settle in a private, non-royal home. They will be back in Prince Harry's home country six years after building a life in California.
According to PEOPLE, King Charles is reportedly open to welcoming them and spending more time with them in a private capacity. However, they will not be moving into a royal residence and will instead live in a private home. The details about their residence have yet to be revealed. They also will not be returning to their royal responsibilities and will continue to hold their Duke and ***** ss of Sussex ***** les.
Archie and Lilibet will reportedly attend an undisclosed school in the UK. Prince Harry and Markle will also retain ownership of their California home and vacation property in Portugal. The decision to move back to the UK comes over a month after their private reunion with King Charles at Highgrove House, the King's private country residence in Gloucestershire, England. No details or pictures from the meeting were made public, as it was a family gathering.
Ahead of this news, there were reports that Prince Harry and his family were considering moving to Australia. Sources claimed that the move would allow them to stay closer to the royal family while continuing to build their lives outside the UK.
At the time, the Duke and ***** ss of Sussex reportedly had no intention of moving back to the UK permanently. Prince Harry had also reportedly discussed the possibility of serving the Crown from an overseas position. The decision was allegedly influenced by Markle's reluctance to move back to the UK.

Taylor Swift flew across the Atlantic to attend Laura Sisk and Oli Jacobs' wedding in the United Kingdom on Saturday. The wedding of the audio engineers took place at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios outside Bath in Gloucestershire.
On Sunday, People Magazine published photos from the wedding, showing Swift sporting a shoulder-length hairstyle and her signature bangs. She wore a navy blue dress with gold floral embroidery. In accessories, she opted for a pearl necklace and her signature bold red lip.
Swift's friends, Jack Antonoff and singer Sabrina Carpenter, also attended.
Taylor Swift has worn shoulder-length hair during several important periods of her career.
During the "1989" era in 2014 and 2015, she cut her long hair into a shoulder-length bob or lob. She kept the wavy, side-swept style through most of the 1989 World Tour before switching to a shorter, chin-length blunt bob in early 2016.

A royal commentator has slammed Meghan Markle over what they called an "incredibly stupid" move as her apparent cold war with Martha Stewart continues. For the unversed, Stewart claimed she overheard Markle discussing her recent visit to the royal family at a Hollywood A-list dinner party.
The ***** ss of Sussex reportedly visited her father-in-law, King Charles, alongside her children in July, with the family meeting the monarch at his private residence, Highgrove House, in Gloucestershire.
A royal commentator berated Meghan Markle for not handling her alleged dispute with cooking legend Martha Stewart.
For those unversed, Stewart revealed to PEOPLE: "I had dinner with [Meghan Markle] the other night. We were both guests at a dinner party in California. And she had just gotten back from the palace. I didn't talk to her really more than to say a couple words, but I know she was talking about it."
However, sources close to the former actress rubbished Stewart's claims, insisting she might have gotten "confused." The source shared: "Meghan was asked by someone else about her European vacation and said it was nice, and that was the extent of it. I think (Ms. Stewart) must have been confused, but we remain fans of Martha" (via The Mirror).

All but two of the nine teams in Group A remain in contention to reach the knockout stages of the One-Day Cup following a day of unlikely results including defeats for the top three in the section.
Pacesetters Leicestershire missed the chance to advance in their final game of the initial phase, with their fate now out of their hands after losing at Kent, who were helped by a sensational display from Daniel Bell-Drummond. They now join Nottinghamshire, Lancashire and Surrey in the chasing pack on 16 points each.
Middlesex won at eliminated Derbyshire to remain top of Group B and ensure they will advance, with Durham also in a strong position immediately behind second-placed Yorkshire following their home win against Essex, who now cannot progress.

Barely two years after he first stepped on to a sprinting track, Gloucestershire teenager James Arminio will compete for Great Britain at this week's Under-20 World Championships in Oregon.
The 18-year-old, who is due to collect his A-Level results when he returns from the USA, is competing in the 4x100m relay and 100m.
"It's all happened really quickly so it's been a lot to take on whilst juggling A-Levels at the same time," Arminio told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
"But I still have so much more to learn, I'm still new to the sport, I'm nowhere near where I need to be in terms of what I've learned. There's still much more improvement there, so much more gains to make."
It was only when Arminio started sixth form in 2024 he first got a taste of athletics, having previously played football which he says he "never took too seriously".

Prince Harry's recent reunion with King Charles III appears to have eased one strained royal relationship, but reports indicate that his rift with Prince William remains unchanged.
People reported that the brothers are still not communicating, despite Harry spending several days in the United Kingdom with Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet earlier in July.
A separate report now claims that direct contact is so difficult that Harry has asked relatives, palace aides and mutual friends to convey his willingness to meet privately.
Neither brother has publicly confirmed that intermediaries are carrying messages between them.
Harry traveled to Britain for several charitable engagements, including events connected to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham. On July 10, King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted Harry, Meghan and their children at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.

King Charles was reportedly shocked by Meghan Markle's Princess Diana Instagram post. Interestingly, this comes after the Sussexes met King Charles and Queen Camilla at the monarch's Highgrove residence in Gloucestershire. For those unversed, Markle shared photos of Harry and their children visiting Diana's final resting place at Althorp, the Spencer family estate.
Reports claim that Meghan Markle's Instagram tribute to Princess Diana took King Charles aback. As per Rob Shuter, royal insiders dished: "This has upset people who normally defend Meghan." One source reportedly added that "the backlash isn't just coming from her critics anymore."
Reports claim that the decision of his younger daughter-in-law to showcase such a private moment on social media for the world to see "genuinely shocked" Charles.
The palace source shared: "The family has always treated Diana's grave as a place of quiet reflection. If she took the photo there, many believe she should never have posted it on social media."
Another royal source echoed the previous source's sentiments, stating: "Even people who usually refuse to comment on Harry and Meghan are wincing. The feeling is that some family moments are simply too sacred to share."

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, reportedly had to pay an "embarrassing" price to have the reunion with King Charles and Queen Camilla. On July 10, the King and the Queen hosted the Duke of Sussex, the ******* ss of Sussex, and their children, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie, at Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire.

Tattooists say "bottomless tattoo" events are devaluing their craft, as removal specialists report growing demand from people wanting tiny tattoos erased.
Chantale Coady-McCombs, owner of Picture House Tattoo Studio in Chippenham, Wiltshire, said the rise of "micro tattoo bottomless brunch studios" had led to more clients needing help to fix or cover unwanted artwork.
The concept allows customers to book a set amount of time with an artist and get as many small tattoos as they want during the session.
BBC News has approached a number of studios offering bottomless tattoos for comment.
Tanya Buxton, owner of Paradise Tattoo Studio in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire said: "It's encouraging irresponsibility."

Northamptonshire head coach Darren Lehmann says there is "no problem" with his side's form in the T20 Blast after progressing to the quarter-final.
The Steelbacks lost three of their final four Central & West Group games, including a five-wicket defeat to Warwickshire on Sunday.
But Northants still comfortably topped the group to secure a home tie in the last eight against Gloucestershire on Wednesday after picking up more wins (9) and more points (36) than any other side in the competition.
"It's been excellent, we've won nine games, lost two of the last three and that can happen," Lehmann told BBC Radio Northampton.
"It's chopping and changing sides to make sure everyone's getting a run out just in case of an injury. We all got through pretty well.

Glamorgan captain Lauren Parfitt said she is "incredibly proud" of her team after they defeated Gloucestershire by 32 runs to win their first piece of silverware.
Despite a nervy ending, they held on to bowl out Gloucestershire for 122 runs to win the Vitality Blast Women's League 2 ***** le in the Cardiff sunshine.
After disappointment in last years T20 Blast semi-final, Parfitt is proud that her team-mates were rewarded for their hard work.
"I'm incredibly proud of a group of girls who work incredibly hard behind the scenes on their skillsets," said Parfitt.
"Winning is what everyone wants to do so we were glad to get ourselves over the line in what was a really competitive final.

Veteran opener Adam Lyth struck an undefeated 131 from 63 ****** – the highest score of this year's Vitality Blast – as Yorkshire closed in on a quarter-final place with a 41-run win over Leicestershire Foxes at Headingley.

Hampshire Hawks' England paceman Sonny Baker captured four wickets to maintain their momentum at the top of the South Group, holding off Kent Spitfires by 19 runs.

Australia Test batter Nathan McSweeney has signed a new contract to play for Northamptonshire in the 2027 season.
The 27-year-old, who has played three Test matches for Australia, has scored three County Championship centuries in his first year with Northants and is the county's leading run-scorer this summer with 589 runs at an average of just under 50.
McSweeney, who will also captain Northamptonshire in this summer's One-Day Cup, has been an important part of their T20 Blast campaign, hitting an unbeaten 72 in Wednesday's eight-wicket win at Gloucestershire with the Steelbacks topping the Central & West Group.
"I'm grateful for the faith the club has shown in me and I'm looking forward to continuing to contribute both on and off the field," he told the club website.
"Hopefully there are plenty of successful moments ahead for Northamptonshire, and I'm excited to be a part of that journey."
