Prince Harry, Meghan and their children Archie and Lilibet are believed to have flown into the country privately from California, and landed in Birmingham this afternoon as they return after six years in the US.
The couple are thought to have travelled with the children on a Bombardier Global Express XRS luxury long-range business jet, from Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles.
They chartered the jet with Planet Nine Private Air, a California-based private aircraft operator.
Hiring it is believed to cost about $12,000 (£9,000) per hour of flight time.
There did not appear to be a police presence as Harry and his family left the airport, amid ongoing questions over whether taxpayers will foot the bill for their security.
The Sussexes – who are also believed to be bringing their dogs Mia and Pula across the Atlantic – are now setting up their home in the UK.
They plan to live as an ‘international’ family, keeping their homes in California and Portugal.
Their announcement that they were returning to Britain came as a shock after they quit the working monarchy in 2020 and bought a house in Montecito.
They will not return to official duties but will live in Britain as non-working royals.
Former Suits star Meghan is said to be pursuing an acting role amid reports that she remains in talks about a role in the third series of Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen.
