He was schooled in some of the finest institutions including Eton. So when it comes to his kids’ education, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ‘sticking to Royal Family tradition.’
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are determined to uphold ‘royal’ family tradition when it comes to schooling their children Archie and Lilibet, according to a royal expert.
Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex took a step back from royal life to live a somewhat ‘normal’ life in Montecito, California, it seems there are some traditions from Harry’s privileged upbringing in England the couple aren’t ready to give up.
According to royal author Tom Quinn, going to the best schools is a non-negotiable when it comes to Archie and Lilibet. In an exclusive chat with The Mirror, Quinn said: “Meghan has always been determined that her children should grow up with a very good relationship with their mother Doria so it’s no surprise that Doria is the live-in nanny.”

The royal expert continued: “One of Meghan‘s difficulties when she was a working royal living in the UK was her lack of experience of dealing with staff so in Montecito she has kept paid staff to an absolute minimum, but if she’s avoiding the Royal tradition of paying people to do the childcare, she’s certainly sticking to the Royal tradition of sending children to elite schools.”
He revealed: “Lily is lined up for $60,000 a year private school. Early on there were rumours that Meghan and Harry might send their children to a local state school but that was never really on the cards. It made it look as if the couple were trying to be as ordinary as possible but no one was fooled. Apart from anything else, Harry wouldn’t countenance risking his children being educated in anything other than in an elite environment. Choosing an elite school is very much in the royal family tradition.”
Meanwhile, it has been reported Harry and Meghan have already started their hunt for the ideal school to send their children to. Only the best will do for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who are said to be going all out to ensure only the best for their tots.
A local journalist has taken a look inside the $60k a year Montecito school where Harry and Meghan could send Archie and Lilibet. Richard Mineards from the Montecito Journal claimed that the couple have been considering local school options – as Archie will be reaching his milestone 5th birthday next week.
He said: “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are eyeing entering their two children, Archie and Lilibet, at a local private school, I can exclusively reveal. The Riven Rock twosome were spotted inspecting an institution’s campus last week, bringing them one-step closer to a decision.”
He added: “School fees in our area range from $60,000 to $50,000 plus for older grades, with most of the institutions having 100 per cent of students going on to attend four-year colleges.”
