The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to the US in 2020 after stepping down as working royals

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in negotiations over Archie and Lilibet’s schooling, according to a source.

The Duke of Sussex wants his children to be educated in the UK, while Meghan Markle is thought to be against sending the young royals to boarding school.


One insider claimed that the Duchess of Sussex feels sending their children to boarding schools would be “barbaric”.

King Charles is said to support the idea of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet being educated in the UK.

A source told the Mail: “There is still some negotiation for Harry to have with Meghan. The King, however, is delighted.”

The Duke of Sussex may have discussed the idea with his father during their face-to-face meeting at Clarence House last week.

During an interview last week, Prince Harry admitted he wants to bring Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the UK in a U-turn from his previous position.

The Duke of Sussex has made multiple solo appearances in England over the past two years, but he has previously stated that he does not feel safe bringing his family to the UK.

However, the royal has outlined that Archie and Lilibet’s return to the UK in closer than ever.

Prince Harry told the Guardian regarding the prospect of bringing his children to the country of his birth: “I would. This week has definitely brought that closer.”

The Duke of Sussex’s comments came after his four-day visit to the UK, where he met with King Charles for the first time in over a year and a half.

Prince Harry’s most recent trip to the UK was the first time the Duke of Sussex had returned since suffering a crushing court defeat in May 2025.

It ended the royal’s hiatus from the UK, which had gone on for four months since he lost his legal battle for taxpayer-funded armed police protection.

The Court of Appeal ruled against the Duke, with Sir Geoffrey Vos, Master of the Rolls, dismissing his appeal.

The ruling meant that armed police bodyguards, paid for by the British taxpayer, will not be automatically reinstated for Harry, Meghan and their two children when in the UK.

Following the legal defeat, the Duke of Sussex told the BBC in a TV interview that he could not see a future in which he brought Meghan, Archie and Lilibet back to the country of his birth.

He said in May 2025: “(I) can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point".
