Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, relocated to California after stepping down from their official royal duties in 2020. But now, it seems the couple is at odds about their kids’ education. Harry wants both his children to embrace their roots. However, according to the source, Markle is not very keen on the whole idea.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are at odds over how they are raising their children, says a source
It seems Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are at loggerheads about the right place to educate their kids, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. A source told #ShuterScoop that the Duke of Sussex is eager to have his children experience the British education system for a better future. However, his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, is still not convinced of the idea.
Harry’s inclination towards British education grew stronger when he visited London earlier this month for his charitable works. At the time, Harry was overheard telling singer Joss Stone how “wonderful the schools are here,” hinting at his eagerness to move back for his kids’ education. “He lit up talking about British education and community,” one witness told the outlet.
The source added that Harry “wants Archie and Lilibet to grow up with roots in Britain — accents and all.” The thought comes after the 41-year-old duke “doesn’t want them to lose that part of their identity.” In fact, Harry “loves the idea” of his children “speaking with the same tone and cadence as the rest of the royal kids.”
Even his other friends have claimed the same. As per Cosmopolitan, his close friend said, “Harry feels his children are missing out on the extensive family network that their niece and nephews are enjoying.” As a result, the prince “wants his children to have the very best education.” The friend further revealed that Harry “has retained his closest friendship group of confidants from his days at school at Ludgrove and Eton” and “wants that for his own children.”
However, it seems Markle is not convinced of the idea. The 44-year-old duchess is “proud of their American upbringing,” one friend told #ShuterScoop. “The idea of boarding schools in Britain isn’t something” that Markle is “rushing to embrace” as of now.
