‘It's very likely and it's completely possible': Prince Harry ‘quite keen' for Archie and Lilibet to have a British education
Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, live with their parents in a sprawling mansion in California's ritzy Montecito enclave and have not visited the UK since 2022.
It is understood Archie has met his grandfather a few times and Lilibet has only met the King on one occasion due to Meghan and Harry's estrangement from the monarchy.
Despite the Sussex children's lack of connection to their father's native country, former royal butler Grant Harrold believes Harry is eager for his children to have at least a partial British education.
'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,' Mr Harrold told SkyNews.com.au on behalf of Study Dog.
'But then it depends on how the relationship is with the rest of the family when the time comes.'
Britain's elite private schools are considered the most prestigious in the world, with members of the royal family traditionally attending Gordonstoun in Scotland.
However, both Harry and William attended Eton instead – the same school attended by Princess Diana's father and brother.
Speculation that Archie and Lilibet could complete at least part of their studies in the UK comes amid reports of a possible peace summit between Harry and his father.
Over the weekend, Harry's new chief communications officer, Meredith Maines, and UK-based PR rep Liam Maguire were photographed meeting with the King's top aide, Communications Secretary Tobyn Andreae, near Clarence House.
The meeting, first revealed by The Mail on Sunday, reportedly had "no formal agenda" but there were "things both sides wanted to talk about".
Meanwhile, Meghan has reportedly refused to return to the United Kingdom until she receives an apology from the royal family for perceived 'mistreatment' during her brief two years inside the firm.

Matthew McConaughey praised for sweet Kate gesture at Wimbledon
IN LONDON Matthew McConaughey has been praised for his sweet gesture to the Princess of Wales during her arrival at Wimbledon over the weekend. After a video was posted online of Kate and Prince William arriving in the Royal Box for the Men's Singles Final, eagle-eyed fans spotted the Oscar winner jumping up from his seat to give them a standing ovation. The royal couple's two eldest children, Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10, joined them to watch the match between Spain's Carlos Alcaraz and Italy's Jannik Sinner on Sunday. McConaughey's act sparked praise among royal watchers, who described him as a 'lovely southern gentleman'. 'Real class,' one wrote in a comment under the clip. Another person added: 'Matthew has always been a class act.' The Wales' and McConaughey were joined by other high-profile figures including Nicole Kidman, Paul Mescal and Anna Wintour in the exclusive Royal Box. Aussie tennis (and TV) royalty Lleyton and Bec Hewitt were also spotted sitting behind Kate and Charlotte. Kate, who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, also received a standing ovation when she attended the Women's Singles Final the day before, which saw Poland's Iga Swiatek trump US player Amanda Anisimova. It follows a busy few weeks for the princess, who joined the King, Queen and William in hosting the French president and his wife for a state visit at Windsor Castle last week, which included a lavish state banquet. She also joined other senior royals for the Trooping the Colour parade and Order of the Garter service last month. Back in January, Kate announced she was in remission from cancer, which she had first publicly disclosed last March. She then released an emotional video message in September, featuring personal footage of herself with William and their three children, which explained the challenges they'd all been privately battling – but also revealed she had completed her treatment.

Rita Ora stuns in daring leather outfit during New York outing
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Rita Ora has turned heads in her most rebellious outfit yet, looking like a fun, fearless rockstar. The singer stepped out in New York over the weekend in a bold leather outfit adorned with silver studs, grommets, chain detailing and tassels.

Picture: JosiahW / BACKGRID The singer got cheeky by leaving the pants at home and opting for skimpy hotpants. Picture: JosiahW / BACKGRID The 34-year-old did try to cover up by wearing what looked like a black scarf as a sarong, which had the word 'rockstar' emblazoned on the fabric. She capped off her look with black knee-high cowboy boots decorated with edgy chains. Ora's New York outing comes months after she was dragged online for what was perceived as a 'rich flex'. Ora appeared to wear a scarf as a sarong for some modesty. Picture: JosiahW / BACKGRID But her pert bottom still peeked through. Picture: JosiahW / BACKGRID The singer struck the wrong chord with her followers after joking about her decision to take a last-minute trip to Sydney after a night out, where on a whim she hopped on a plane and flew Down Under. 'P. O. V last night I drunkenly decided I wanted to come to Sydney in the morning,' she wrote on TikTok at the time. While the video was meant to be good-humoured, it was not well received, with people quick to point out that it is privileged to be able to travel internationally at a second's notice while most are in a cost of living crisis. 'I can't relate because I'm poor,' one noted. 'Rich privilege,' someone else claimed. 'No need to flex like this to the poor,' one complained. Not everyone was offended by her last-minute trip. Others praised her travel decision and said, 'Yes, Queen,' and 'I love you.' Ora has spent a fair bit of time in Australia in recent years because she was a judge for two seasons of the singing competition The Voice. X SUBSCRIBER ONLY She's also married to New Zealand director Taika Waititi, who recently spent a lot of his time in Australia filming Marvel blockbusters. Ora credits Australia with helping her embrace a 'healthy' lifestyle. Ora has previously spoken to and praised Aussies for knowing 'how to party,' which she loves doing. The pop singer went on to explain that she feels the most 'free' when she's in Australia and loves the laid-back lifestyle. 'I exercise, I know it's boring … but Australia is where I discovered getting healthy. When I came to do The Voice, everyone was just on a really healthy thing. Now I'm obsessed with it,' she said.

‘We're done': Reason Aussie influencers are moving overseas
Australia has become known to many as the 'lucky country', but Aussie influencers are leaving the country in droves to pursue opportunities overseas. Successful Queensland-based digital nomads and influencers Brent and Molly — who gained popularity through travelling around Australia in a caravan for two-and-a-half years with their two children — announced this week that they are leaving the country. 'We're leaving Australia. For good. Not for a holiday. Not for a break. Not for a visa run. We're done.' They captioned their social media post. The reasons they listed for leaving included: sky-high taxes, insane cost of living and shrinking opportunities for entrepreneurs. The pair didn't reveal where they were headed, instead asking their followers to guess which country they were jetting off to. 'Easy. Bali' one person commented. 'Great move. I would think it could be Thailand' another guessed. 'USA' was a repeated guess from many, perhaps due to the fact that the family of four have just returned from a trip to America and Mexico. The pair dismissed some of the guesses in an Instagram story, without revealing where they were moving. 'Is it Bali or Thailand? No definitely not . . .lots of people do but definitely not for us,' they clarified. The announcement comes just months after Gold-Coast based TikTok star Kat Clark announced her move to the US. Many were surprised despite her husband and 14-year-old daughter Deja joining her, she was leaving behind her 22-year-old daughter Latisha.

Credit: Instagram The family-focused content creator with 7.4m followers claimed the reason that she was leaving was due to the career opportunities available in the US—particularly TikTok's Creator Rewards program— which is not available in Australia. 'We've had some opportunities come up in America and we're going to give it a go,' the Courier Mail claims Clark said. While some welcomed the news of Clark's move, many were quick to question her relocation to the US given the current political climate. 'I'm sorry, no opportunity could convince me to move to America (right now) it's literally turning into a hell hole,' one person said. 'Why on earth anyone would want to move to America from Australia is beyond me' another commented.
