Prince Harry and Meghan Markle traveled to the United States with their son, Prince Archie, on the “freedom flight” to Canada. The Sussexes welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet, in 2021 after settling at their multimillion-dollar castle in Montecito, California. While Archie and Lilibet are still very young, the two royal infants have already become a topic of debate in news publications.

Lilibet recently celebrated her third birthday, but no members of the Royal Family attended her festivities. It is unclear what Archie and Lilibet’s future relationships with their UK-based cousins – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – will be, but it has recently been reported that King Charles is eager to play a more active role in the Sussexes’ children’s lives.

Archie starts kindergarten this fall, while Lilibet prepares for preschool. Harry and Meghan are alleged to have started looking at schools for their children, prompting one US writer to call the couple “frauds.”Prince Harry and Meghan Markle relocated to the United States to live a more private life away from the paparazzi press and the responsibilities and expectations of the monarchy. It has been reported that the couple understood “within” days of their wedding that they did not want to stay with the Firm indefinitely.

When Archie was born in 2019, the Sussexes had already made a step toward becoming more private, hoping to avoid being portrayed as a “marionette puppet” by the Crown for admirers and media around the world. Harry and Meghan “tricked” reporters when Archie was born. In her book The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown, royal analyst Katie Nicholl described Harry as “almost morbidly obsessed” with making Archie’s birth as private as possible, which is not the usual when it comes to royal kids being born.

However, when millions of faithful fans and the majority of the public sought knowledge about the tiny boy, Harry and Meghan’s request for confidentiality was rejected, instead being referred to as part of the “unwritten contract between the royals and the public.” “Behind the scenes, matters were so fraught that more than one official — as I know from personal experience — was reduced to tears of frustration and despair,” Rebecca English, royal editor of the Daily Mail, said.

When a royal baby is delivered, the parents typically appear on the hospital steps with their new son or daughter to pose for the media. After the photos are taken, the proud mother and father answer a few questions before returning to their private space. According to Katie Nicholl, Harry and Meghan intended to treat Archie’s birth differently. Rather than confronting the media openly, they duped reporters and photographers.

Prince William, Prince Harry, and William’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, were all born at St Mary’s Hospital, which is where the traditional first baby portraits were shot. Meghan’s doctor, however, worked at Portland Hospital, so delivering Archie there made sense. Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. An added plus for the Sussexes was that the location would prohibit photography due to safety concerns near the entrance.

“Harry had always enjoyed outfoxing the media,” Nicholl wrote in The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Crown’s Future. “He and Meghan were thrilled to be safely delivered of their son in London’s private Portland hospital even before the palace press office had confirmed the duchess was in labor.” Lilibet’s birth was not exactly the same. She was born in California in June 2021, and the paparazzi did not even get close. Nonetheless, Harry and Meghan Markle’s children quickly returned to the forefront.

Two years after Lilibet was born, the Sussees announced that they had granted their children the titles of prince and princess. However, while Harry and Meghan say the titles are their children’s birthrights, not everyone agreed that this was the greatest decision. According to royal analyst and author Angela Levin, it may have a negative impact on Archie and Lilibet’s prospects.

In a Sky article, Levin noted that Lilibet now bears a considerable responsibility as a result of her parents’ decision. “It will take a long time for little Lilibet to realize the extent of the burden her parents have placed on her young shoulders,” Levin told me at the time. She went on to say that by giving their daughter a formal royal title, Harry and Meghan had “glued her to the British Royal Family,” which they have long hated.

“Why on earth would you want your daughter to experience such anguish?” Levin inquired, noting that Lilibet’s daily existence will be more difficult because she has the label of princess connected to her name. “Little girls obviously love being a princess at parties, but if Lilibet is the only one in the class who is a real princess, it could lead to jealousy that could easily be avoided,” the royal expert reported.

Needless to say, Archie and Lilibet are growing up quickly. Archie had his fifth birthday in May, while Lilibet turned three a little over a week ago. On June 5, the young princess celebrated her big day with a party, despite the fact that no members of her royal family attended. Princess Eugenie is said to be the sole royal who has visited Harry, Meghan, and their children in California.

Interestingly, while King Charles’ relationships to Harry and his daughter-in-law are strained, he is apparently “heartbroken” by the non-existent relationship he has with Archie and Lilibet. For reference, the King has only met Archie five times and Lilibet once. In an interview with the Mirror, royal analyst Ingrid Seward, book of My Mother and I: The Inside Story of the King and Our Late Queen, claimed Charles’ cancer diagnosis has made his relationship with Archie and Liiibet “all the more poignant,” as he realizes he “won’t be here forever.”

“Family has always been important to the King.” He recalls his own fairly fragmented childhood, since his parents were usually busy doing their jobs. “He is very sad that he will not see Archie and Lilibet again,” Seward added. “That is why he will never cut ties with Harry.” He does not wish to have a FaceTime contact with his son’s children. He wants to know them and be active in their lives while they are still young enough to benefit from his wisdom. His sickness has made it all the more emotional for him because he knows he will not be around forever.

Meghan revealed the actual reason Archie will never attend a UK school. Only time will tell what Harry and Meghan’s children will do as they grow up. While they can do and become whatever they desire, including working royals, their parents are likely to see a future in which they are both sent to some of the best and most costly schools in the world.

Remember, their UK cousins went to prestigious schools like Gordonstoun in Scotland and Eton in England. However, the Sussexes are claimed to have refused to allow their kid to attend school in the UK. In a 2022 story for The Cut, journalist Allison Davis described a chat with Meghan Markle in which the Duchess claimed that she did not want her son Archie to attend school in the UK due to safety concerns.

“Earlier in our conversation about her goals for the life she’s creating here, she’d remarked upon how, if Archie were in school in the UK, she’d never be able to do school pickup and drop-off without it being a royal photo call with a press pen of 40 people snapping pictures,” according to Davis. Meghan told Allison, “I’m sorry, but I have a problem with that.” That does not make me obsessed with privacy.

That makes me a strong and responsible father who protects my child.”There is still plenty of time until Archie and Lilibet start their studies, which will entail at least high school or college. Until then, they will most likely attend a school near their home in affluent Montecito, California. Harry and Meghan “inspecting” the costly private school for Archie and Lilibet.

According to one journalist, the Sussexes have started looking into nearby schools. Inevitably, Harry and Meghan are now facing widespread criticism for their selection of potential institutions. Speaking with the Mirror, Rochard Mineards of the Montecito Journal revealed that Harry and Meghan have been considering a local private school. And it’s not cheap.”The Riven Rock twosome were spotted inspecting an institution’s campus last week, bringing them one-step closer to a decision,” Mineards told the press.

He said further: “School fees in our area range from $60,000 to $50,000 plus for older grades, with most of the institutions having 100 percent of students going on to attend four-year colleges.” It can be presumed that Harry and Meghan have the means to send their children to private schools. However, the fact that Harry is considering such an expensive institution does not sit well with everyone.

Lee Cohen, a US-based writer, has slammed the royal couple, calling them “frauds.” In an interview with GB News, he claimed it’s “infuriating” that the Sussexes are intending to enroll their children in a “outrageously expensive” school, especially given how important equality is to them. “It’s utterly infuriating to hear that Harry and Meghan, the self-proclaimed champions of equality and social justice, are even contemplating enrolling their children in an exclusive, outrageously expensive school,” Cohen told the BBC.

Harry and Meghan are labeled “frauds” “Their supposed commitment to progressive causes is nothing but a facade,” he said. “If they’re willing to engage in this ultimate of elitism, there is no campaigning for equality. Nonetheless, they are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars per year on their children’s education. “How can they justify this when so many families can’t afford even the most basic necessities?”

Cohen ended his outburst by accusing the couple of maintaining their “systems of privilege,” despite their claims to be working against them. “Sending their children to such a prominent institution exposes Harry and Meghan as frauds. Cohen told GB News that they are reinforcing the systems of privilege that they profess to be exposing.
