Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have spent the past five years far from royal duties, palace intrigue, and the grey skies of London.
But now, there are quiet suggestions that the Sussexes might be looking back toward the UK—this time for a very personal reason: their children’s schooling.
Reports suggest Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet could one day exchange their California classrooms for a more traditional British education. Such a shift could mean a permanent or even temporary return to the UK for the family.
Former Royal Butler Weighs In
Grant Harrold, who once served as King Charles’s butler, believes Harry is “quite keen” on his children experiencing the kind of education he had—complete with blazers, boarding houses, and muddy sports fields.
“It’s very likely and it’s completely possible because if they have their younger education in America, I’m sure their father will be quite keen to have a bit of a British education,” Harrold explained. “But then it depends on how the relationship is with the rest of the family when the time comes,” he added, speaking to Style Caster.
The idea of Archie attending Eton—where Harry and his brother Prince William once studied—and Lilibet walking the same halls as her cousin Princess Charlotte is certainly enticing. But, as the New York Post pointed out, it hinges on one major factor: the state of Harry’s relationship with the rest of the royals.
