‘It's very likely and it's completely possible': Prince Harry ‘quite keen' for Archie and Lilibet to have a British education
Prince Harry is reportedly "keen" for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to return to the United Kingdom to complete at least part of their 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 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.
