Commentators say the King learns late of Sussexes’ UK return decision

The King is reportedly informed only after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decide to return to the UK, according to a commentator cited by multiple outlets. The move is described as part of the Sussexes’ broader relocation plans.

The Evening Standard and BreakingNews.ie both state that the King is made aware of the decision on Sunday. Neither account attributes the timing to official details in the coverage provided, but both present the late notification as a notable point in how the return is handled.

While the outlets draw on commentary rather than primary statements in the supplied text, they converge on the same core claim: the UK monarch learns about the Sussexes’ planned move back on Sunday, after it has already been set in motion.
