Prince Harry shared the latest update on Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's mood in the UK, saying they have been fully enjoying their time since returning to his homeland. In a new sit-down with GQ's Zach Baron, Harry revealed his kids are settled into a new school and are "loving" it, hinting that they do not want to leave the UK.
"It's just giving them a whole different experience," he explained. Harry was quick to pause any debate about the standard of schools in the two countries, saying: "Don't worry, I'm not criticising American schools.
But I think for kids at 7 and 5 to be able to have that comparison and to have two completely different cultural experiences is so important today." The royal also revealed what motivated the family's decision to move back to his home country.
"Opportunities for the family," he said. "Being able to put the kids in a British school has meant a lot to me.
I didn't know how important it was to me." Archie and Lilibet started at their new UK school in September, shortly after the family landed in the UK. However, just two days into the term, the children switched schools due to security and logistical concerns regarding their commute.
The transition has been a significant adjustment for the young royals, who spent several years living in the United States. Harry emphasized that the move was not merely about location, but about providing his children with a sense of heritage and connection to his roots.
Observers note that the Duke of Sussex has been increasingly vocal about his desire to provide his children with a balanced upbringing. By exposing them to both American and British educational systems, he hopes to foster a global perspective.
The security concerns mentioned by the Prince highlight the ongoing challenges he faces regarding the safety of his family. Despite these hurdles, he remains committed to ensuring his children receive a stable education.
The royal family has not yet issued an official statement regarding the children's schooling, but sources close to the Sussexes suggest that the move is intended to be long-term. As the children continue their studies, the public remains interested in how they will adapt to life in the UK.
For now, Harry seems content with the progress they have made in such a short time. Ultimately, the Prince's focus remains on the well-being of his children, prioritizing their happiness and educational growth above all else.
