Prince Harry & Meghan have dozens of top schools to choose from for Archie and Lilibet – and why they may shun boarding

PRINCE Harry and Meghan have dozens of prep schools to choose from for their children. But it is unlikely they will send them to full boarding at this age. The Duke of Sussex spoke positively in memoir Spare about his own first school, Ludgrove. The all-boys school costs £14,477 per term. But it is boarding-only, and he talked about it being hard to live in a place where many boys “lived in close proximity”.

History of fame flop By Ed Southgate HARRY and Meghan arrived in the US eager to become Hollywood’s next big thing. They signed a $100million Netflix deal, a $20million Spotify podcast deal, and had a series of successful celebrity telly appearances. They hit peak popularity in late 2022, but it began to slide after their six-hour Netflix documentary, where they moaned about life. The highly personal details in Harry’s book Spare then turned him into a laughing stock. A month later, he and Meghan were mocked on South Park, where cartoon versions of them went on a “Worldwide Privacy Tour”. In June 2023, Spotify axed the podcast deal after just 12 episodes by Meghan. An exec later called the pair “f***ing grifters”. Since then, they appear to have been turning back to a pseudo-royal way of life, with high-profile tours of other countries, while also launching ventures like Meghan’s As Ever brand.
