While Prince Harry has praised life in California, saying he enjoys raising his children in the U.S., Meghan has previously been more direct about her discomfort with the media attention in Britain. In a 2022 interview with The Cut, she recalled the pressure of public life in London, saying school runs in the UK would be impossible without being turned into photo ops.
“If Archie were in school in the UK, I’d never be able to do school pickup and drop-off without it becoming a royal photo call,” she said at the time. “Sorry. I have a problem with that.”
Despite those concerns, Harrold remains optimistic that some form of UK education — perhaps in the form of a study program or a university degree — could still be part of Archie and Lilibet’s future. He pointed out that royals often pursue global experiences during their education; King Charles famously spent time studying in Australia during his youth.
“There’s precedent,” Harrold explained. “It wouldn’t surprise me if at some point, Archie or Lilibet came over for a gap year, university, or even summer school. Only time will tell.”
Whether or not the children will follow in traditional royal footsteps remains uncertain. But if royal relations continue to thaw — and if Harry’s wishes play a role — a return to British education might not be entirely out of reach.
