Prince Harry May Have Gotten 1 Step Closer to Moving His Whole Family Back to the UK After Reports Meghan Finds the Act ‘Barbaric’
Since Prince Harry‘s brief visit to the UK, there have been reports that the Duke of Sussex is eyeing a move back to his homeland. Some reports have also indicated that he’s already figured out a future for his children.
The Daily Beast‘s royal correspondent Tom Sykes reported that Prince Harry had registered his son, Archie, 6, to his alma mater Eton College. “It’s no longer strictly necessary to put your kids’ names down at birth, but Harry has put Archie down,” a friend told the site. “It’s fair to say he had mixed feelings about the school when he left, but looking back on it, he can appreciate the good.”
Another friend of the Duke and Duchess have reportedly told the site: “For William and Harry, Eton is really the only sensible choice when it comes to British schools because of security. There are so many high-profile and politically exposed kids there that the whole school has ridiculous security provisions already. It’s seven day boarding, lots of kids fly back and forth at the beginning and end of term, so why shouldn’t Archie? The school certainly wouldn’t be prejudiced against him. Statistically, you have to imagine Eton would be a hell of a lot safer than an American school thanks to their gun laws.”
Despite Tom Syke’s reports, Prince Harry’s camp have denied the rumors. “Prince Harry has not put his son’s name down for Eton, nor does he have any plans to do so,” a spokesperson for Team Sussex confirmed to the Daily Mail.
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.”
Despite the multiple reports, sources say Meghan Markle might not be on board with the idea. According to the Daily Mail, 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.
Prince Harry told The Guardian that the meeting with his trip to the UK, which included the reunion with his father, was a success.
He also discussed what he wrote about his family in his memoir Spare. “I don’t believe that I aired my dirty laundry in public. It was a difficult message, but I did it in the best way possible. My conscience is clear,” he said.
Harry also added, “I know that [speaking out] annoys some people and it goes against the narrative,” he added. “The book? It was a series of corrections to stories already out there. One point of view had been put out and it needed to be corrected.”
