Harry and Meghan’s private Montecito school plans will have ‘major disadvantage’

With the news Harry and Meghan are looking to send their children to private school, a leading royal author reveals the decision will have ‘major disadvantage’

Harry and Meghan raised more than a few eyebrows earlier this month when it was revealed that the couple wanted to send their children to a ‘prestigious’ private school with a leading royal author exclusively revealing to The Mirror that the pair’s plans are likely to have one ‘major disadvantage.’

With the ex-Royals reportedly eyeing up a school in the heart of Montecito, the luxury, celebrity Southern Californian enclave where they reside, they were recently called out as ‘frauds’ when fees of £40,000 per year were revealed. Royal commentator, Lee Cohen, slammed the pair for their potential plans, saying: “Their supposed commitment to progressive causes is nothing but a façade. If they’re willing to indulge in this epitome of elitism, there is no advocating for equality.”

Speaking to GB News at the time, Cohen questioned how Meghan and Harry could “justify” their decision to look at private schools when “so many families struggle to afford even the basic necessities,” saying: “Sending their children to such a prestigious institution completely exposes the frauds that Harry and Meghan are. By perpetuating the very systems of privilege that they claim to expose.”

Following the educational furore, leading royal author and expert, Tom Quinn, has exclusively revealed that the pair’s plans for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will most likely have one ‘major disadvantage.’

Said Quinn: “Harry and Meghan have more than enough money to afford the best schools in California and for all Meghan’s desire to be seen to be helping the poor and the marginalised, she has no intention of providing anything less than the best money can buy for her children.”

He continued: “For the children of celebrities across America, elite schools are the norm – and there is no doubt a private education brings huge advantages as it does in the UK, in terms of connections with other well-heeled and well-connected children.”

However, Quinn was also quick to highlight that the decision would have one major disadvantage: “The disadvantage as we have seen with so many children of celebrities is that it can create expectations for adult life that are not easily achieved – just because your parents are famous doesn’t mean you are going to be famous, but dealing with that can be difficult.”

Harry attended prestigious schools, including Ludgrove preparatory school in Ludgrove, Wokingham, before following his older brother Prince William to Eton College in Berkshire. Meghan attended LA-based private Catholic school, Immaculate Heart High School, after her father won the lottery in 1990, allowing him to fund the nearly £13,000-a-year fees.
