"The plan is for the family to move to Sweden. It will be postponed until 2024, according to the information I have," Thorgren told Swedish outlet Expressen, according to People magazine.

Thorgren clarified that the postponement was not due to an immigration issue or a house sale.

At the time, Thorgren told Expressen that Leonore, Nicolas and Adrienne would begin elementary school and preschool in the United States in the fall. She confirmed the family would be spending the summer in Sweden.

The princess addressed the announcement in an Instagram post, writing, "Earlier today, the court announced that Leonore, Nicolas and Adrienne will no longer belong to the royal house.
