The prince could be keen for his children to experience schooling in the UK
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are bringing their children up in sunny California but an expert has predicted that the Duke of Sussex could be keen for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to experience the type of education that he is familiar with.
According to former royal butler Grant Harrold, Harry, 40, is “quite keen” for his children to get a taste of British schooling, reports Express.co.uk.
In an interview with Study Dog, Mr Harrold provided fans with an insight into how Harry and Meghan could soon integrate the UK into Archie and Lilibet’s lives.

He stated: “It’s very likely and completely possible,” Grant explained, when asked if Archie and Lilibet could come to the UK for university or school.
“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,” he continued.
Mr Harrold added: “But then it depends on how the relationship is with the rest of the family when the time comes.”
Despite this, Meghan has been open about her own worries around intense media scrutiny that might come with enrolling their children in UK schools.
In her previous bombshell interview with The Cut, she said: “If Archie were in school in the UK, I’d never be able to do school pickup and drop-off without it being a royal photo call with a press pen of 40 people snapping pictures.”
She then added, “Sorry. I have a problem with that.
“That doesn’t make me obsessed with privacy.
“That makes me a strong and good parent protecting my child.”
Harry, who moved to the US in 2020, has previously expressed how much he enjoys raising Archie and Lilibet in America – also citing a reason for his feelings.
Speaking at a summit in New York City in December, Harry said: “I very much enjoy living here and bringing my kids up here.
“It’s a part of my life that I never thought I was going to live.”
Discussing his reason for enjoying bringing his children up in America, he said: “I feel as though it’s the life that my mum wanted for me.
“To be able to do the things I’m able to do with my kids that I undoubtedly wouldn’t be able to do in the UK – it’s huge.
“That is a fantastic opportunity and I’m hugely grateful for that.”
