Prince Harry is ‘keen’ for kids Archie, Lilibet to have British education: ex-staffer

Prince Harry is keen for his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to follow in his footsteps by receiving a British education, according to a former palace staffer.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, has been raising his two youngsters, ages 6 and 4, with his wife, Meghan Markle, in Montecito, Calif., since 2020.

However, according to a former royal butler, the “Spare” author is “quite keen” for the pair’s children to come to the UK for their education in the future.

“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, but then it depends on how the relationship is with the rest of the family when the time comes,” said Grant Harrold, former personal butler to King Charles.

Harrold, who worked for Charles for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales, noted that while a UK enrollment is not set in stone for Archie and Lilibet at this time, much of the decision depends on the Sussexes’ relationship with the Windsor clan.

“Time will tell, but I’d like to think that they would get a bit of education here because royals normally do some gap year somewhere,” he continued.

“The king famously went to Australia, so it is possible that coming to the UK could be part of that for Archie or Lilibet.”

At the moment, it seems unlikely that Harry and the “Suits” alum, 43, would send their children abroad — especially after the family lost their bid for taxpayer-funded security earlier this year.

Still, the option of boarding school remains — in addition to a potential university education for the young royals later down the line.

And with recent so-called peace talks taking place between reps from both camps last month, it could well mean that a royal reconciliation could take place eventually, laying the groundwork for the option of British schooling.

As for Prince William and Princess Catherine’s children, it’s no secret that the future king and queen have chosen to educate their three children within the British school system.

Currently, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are all enrolled at Lambrook School in Berkshire, England, which sits nearby their Adelaide Cottage home.

However, it’s been reported that George, 12, will be moving to the $82,000-per-year Eton College in September to continue his higher education.

Prior to committing to Eton, the young royal had toured two other schools in North London, including Highgate School.

Despite the report, Kensington Palace has yet to formally announce the future of George, Charlotte and Louis’ education.

As for Charlotte, the 10-year-old is rumored to be following in her mother’s footsteps by eyeing up Marlborough College in Wiltshire, England.

The Princess of Wales, 43, studied at the school before meeting William at St Andrews University years later.

Elsewhere, Harrold notes that the Waleses may opt to avoid the university route for their children altogether — and instead have the trio explore alternative options.

“I don’t think it would be these days. We may find that George, Charlotte, and Louis might not all go to university. They may go straight to somewhere like Sandhurst,” the former palace staffer suggested.

“In particular, George, it is seen as vital for future kings to have had some sort of military training, so you can guarantee that George, whether he likes it or not, will have to go through that military training.”

“Both William and Charles had military training. You’re the commanding chief of the Armed Forces, so you’ve got to know the profession. However, there might not be so much pressure when it comes to George,” Harrold added.
