. The topic: a potential move back to the United Kingdom for schooling. This represents a monumental potential shift for the family, one that could re-engage them, albeit cautiously, with British soil.
Prince Harry's childhood influences his desire for huge change
For Prince Harry, the prospect of his children's education in the UK seems rooted in his own formative experiences. Friends suggest he is eager for Archie and Lilibet to experience the strong bonds and sense of belonging that he and William found at school. This is a huge, almost nostalgic, pull for Prince Harry, who remains close with friends from his school days at Ludgrove and Eton. He feels his children are "missing out on the extensive family network" enjoyed by their cousins across the Atlantic, prompting this significant conversation with Meghan Markle. The decision is now a hotly 'debated' point of conversation between them.
Meghan Markle and the huge, debated decision for Archie and Lilibet
This potentially huge change is not without complexities, and sources note it is being actively 'debated' between the couple. For Meghan Markle, the idea of sending Archie and Lilibet to the rigid structure of UK boarding schools may not be palatable. Her perspective is likely shaped by the desire for a less public life, one where Archie and Lilibet can grow up with more privacy, an aspiration she has expressed in the past. This creates a huge point of negotiation and discussion, as she and Prince Harry navigate conflicting priorities. How a balance is struck will be a huge testament to their partnership.
An emotional, huge crossroads for the family

The emotional landscape for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Archie, and Lilibet is a complex one, involving deeply personal considerations versus broader family and cultural ties. With relations with the monarchy under strain, any move would be heavily scrutinized. However, Prince Harry’s recent attempts to mend ties with King Charles III have reportedly brought the idea of more UK visits closer to reality. The ultimate outcome of this 'debated' plan for Archie and Lilibet remains a huge, unfolding story.
