Prince Harry And Meghan’s Kids’ Eyewatering Prep School Fee Revealed Amid Sussexes’ UK Comeback
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are preparing for a major change in their children’s lives as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet get ready to begin school in Britain.
Following the Sussexes’ return to the U.K. after years of living in California, the couple reportedly plans to enroll their children in an exclusive private prep school that costs a hefty sum.
The move will introduce Prince Harry and Meghan’s children to a very different educational environment while bringing them closer to their royal relatives.
Prince Harry and Meghan have settled for an elite private school for Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, as the family begins its new chapter in the U.K.
According to Page Six, the Sussex children are expected to attend a prep school where tuition costs approximately $35,000 per year.
The decision comes shortly after Harry and Meghan returned to the U.K. with their children following more than six years in California. The family arrived in Britain on August 26 ahead of Archie and Lilibet beginning school in September.
While the name of the school has been kept private, the publication reported that it is located within commuting distance of the Sussexes’ new home.
The decision marks a significant change for the children, who have spent much of their lives in California and will now experience school life in their father’s home country.
Their enrollment also means the couple could be spending a considerable amount on education. With fees of roughly $35,000 per child each year, Harry and Meghan could face a combined annual tuition bill of about $70,000 for Archie and Lilibet.
Prince Archie And Princess Lilibet’s New School Comes With Luxury Amenities
5The hefty tuition fees are said to come with an impressive range of facilities designed to give students far more than a traditional classroom experience.
The school reportedly offers an extensive selection of academic, sporting and extracurricular amenities for its pupils.
Among the features available are an indoor swimming pool, multiple sports fields and dedicated areas for activities such as boating and kayaking.
Students also have access to specialized spaces for music, drama, science and art, giving Archie and Lilibet plenty of opportunities to explore interests outside their regular lessons.
The school also places an emphasis on outdoor learning as well, with extensive grounds where children can participate in activities beyond the classroom.
Its combination of academics, sports and creative programs reflects the exclusive experience associated with its substantial tuition fees.
While Harry and Meghan have kept details about their children’s school private, their reported choice suggests the couple has opted for an education offering both extensive facilities and a wide range of activities.
Prince Harry’s Rift With Prince William Still Remains Unresolved
5Although moving back to Britain puts Harry geographically closer to Prince William, it has not immediately resulted in a reconciliation between the brothers.
People Magazine reported that William and Kate Middleton are approaching the Sussexes’ return cautiously rather than making an immediate move to repair relations.
“They are watching this space. It’s private — they don’t feel the need to say anything or demonstrate anything outwardly,” a source close to the Prince and Princess of Wales told the publication.
The insider added that any reconciliation “will be a slow build,” explaining that there remains “a deep sense of betrayal.”
Prince William Has Reportedly Been Resolute In Keeping His Distance From His Brother
5Harry has previously expressed his desire to restore his relationships with his family, and his return with Meghan, Archie and Lilibet potentially creates more opportunities for contact.
However, the duke and his brother William are said to still remain at loggerheads despite now being in the same country.
One insider described their relationship as “so broken,” while another source familiar with the royal siblings said there has been “no movement, especially on William’s side.”
For now, Harry and Meghan’s homecoming appears unlikely to erase years of tension overnight.
Prince Harry And Meghan’s Kids’ School Attendance Could Clash With Prince George’s Milestone
5The timing of Harry and Meghan’s return and the attention surrounding Archie and Lilibet beginning school comes as Prince William and Kate prepare for an important milestone of their own.
Prince George, 13, is expected to start at Eton College on September 8, marking his first term away from home at boarding school.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told Fox News Digital how significant the moment is for the Wales family, saying, “That is a huge emotional milestone for any family.”
However, she suggested the Sussexes’ return has created an additional distraction, adding that “Harry and Meghan have brought the circus back to town.”
There are also concerns about competing media attention surrounding the children’s respective school milestones. George’s arrival at Eton carries particular significance because of his position as a future king.
Royal commentator Amanda Matta said, “Prince George’s start at Eton isn’t just a personal milestone; it’s the beginning of his public-facing path as heir to the throne.”
She added that “The Palace is incredibly protective of that narrative, and any competing headline.”
