Prince Harry has ruled out returning to the UK after clarifying his stance on Prince Archie’s potential schools.
The Duke of Sussex undertook a four-day visit to the country of his birth this month but has no plans to return permanently, according to a source close to the royal.
It comes as reports circulated that Prince Harry had reached out to his old school, Eton, in an attempt to secure a place for Prince Archie.
On Monday, Prince Harry released a statement denying a claim that he contacted Eton.

The Duke of Sussex stated that he has no plans for his son to attend the prestigious school in the UK.
A spokesperson for the royal said: “Prince Harry has not put his son’s name down for Eton, nor does he have any plans to do so.”
However, earlier this month, Harry admitted he wanted 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.”
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".
