Prince Harry arrives on Vancouver Island to begin new life
The Duke of Sussex is spotted in Canada after he and Meghan agreed a deal to step back as senior royals.
news.sky.comPrince Harry publicly resides in the United States, with California being his primary base, where he and Meghan have lived full-time since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. They are widely reported to be based in Montecito, near Santa Barbara. He does not have a UK residence as his primary home, after Frogmore Cottage was vacated, and UK visits have become occasional and short.
Key points:
- Primary residence: United States (California, Montecito).[1][2]
- UK residence status: No active primary UK home; Frogmore Cottage was their UK base but they vacated it.[1]
- Public filings confirming residence: US listed as primary residence in official filings related to charity work and business disclosures.[2][1]
Illustrative note:
- For context, reports about Harry changing residence often reference his and Meghan’s move to California in 2020 and the couple’s continued presence there, including their children Archie and Lilibet.[2]
