Meghan Thinks It’s ‘Barbaric’ Harry Wants to Move Their Kids Back to the UK Amid Reports He’s Mentally ‘Separated’
The recent meeting between King Charles and Prince Harry has opened the door for a closer relationship between the two, and that, of course, comes with rumors. From suggestions that this means Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are willing to come back as working royals to the possibility of Harry moving his kids back to the UK, everything seems to be on the table these days. But is it?
A friend of Prince Harry reportedly told the Daily Mail‘s Richard Eden that Harry looks back favorably on his Eton days and “wants that for his children.” The source, who reportedly was in contact with Harry during his recent return to the UK, said, “I can tell you that Harry wants to educate the children here in the UK.”

“Harry feels his children are missing out on the extensive family network that their niece and nephews are enjoying.”
This source isn’t the only one. Pop star Joss Stone spoke with Harry last week at the WellChild awards, and recently told Hello! Magazine that Harry may decide to come back to the UK. She added that he “was saying how wonderful the schools are here and how important community is for children.”
Recent reports had indicated the Duke of Sussex would prefer his kids to attend school in the UK. However, his wife, Meghan Markle, might not be on board with the idea. Like a lot of people who did not grow up in an environment like that, Markle finds the idea of sending children to boarding school “barbaric.”
The source added that “there is still some negotiation for Harry to have with Meghan,” but King Charles, “is delighted with it, which could mean the issue was discussed between father and son when they met at Clarence House last week.” The recent meeting between father and son has generally been described as positive and a very good first step towards a full reconciliation.
Prince Harry didn’t give many details about the meeting, but did tell The Guardian during an interview post-reunion with his dad that he would like to return to the UK with his children. “The focus really has to be on my dad,” he said, but he also responded to a specific question about a possible future visit with his kids with, “Yes, I would,” adding, “This week has definitely brought that closer.”
The Duke of Sussex, however, made it clear that he’s got a good life in the US. “I think parts of the British press want to believe that I am miserable, but I’m not,” he explained. “I am very happy with who I am, and I like the life that I live.” This, despite royal biographer Tom Bower recently telling GB News that Harry has “separated himself” from Markle’s “crashing career.”
After being asked whether Harry had “painted himself into irrelevance” after moving to the United States, Bower said, “Well, he hasn’t, because when he comes here, he becomes a focus of attention. But of course, he is spare to Meghan or was, in her attempt to become the great television homemaker. But her series, her career, is crashing.”
“So very cleverly, Harry has separated himself from Meghan, as she did from him, but she still needs him. And so you’ve got this couple in Montecito, desperately looking for a new purpose in life,” he added. It all seems to contradict Harry’s recent statements, but whether the Duke and Duchess return to the UK soon or end up choosing schooling there for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, we will have to wait and see.
