Archie and Lilibet Are Happy at Their New Schools After Returning to UK, Prince Harry Confirms

Prince Harry has confirmed that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are settling in happily at their new English schools following the family's high-profile relocation back to the United Kingdom.

Speaking candidly during a recent CTV interview outside Toronto, the Duke of Sussex shared rare insights into domestic life after leaving Montecito, California, after six years abroad.

While the family navigates reintegration into British life, including strict guidelines from the Lord Chamberlain defining them as private citizens rather than working royals, Harry remains focused on preparing for the upcoming Invictus Games in Birmingham.

The candid remarks underscore ongoing global fascination with the Sussexes' relocation, blending personal parenting updates with complex royal protocol and charitable commitments.

OK! reported that the children changed schools after just two days in class following the family's move back in August.

Archie and Lilibet's School Change

The reported decision to move Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, was linked to heavy traffic and an extended commute. Those difficulties reportedly put additional strain on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's security detail.

The school was not named in the account, which did not provide further details about the children's classes or their day-to-day routines.

The explanation for the switch concerned the demands of the journey, while Harry's latest remarks focused on the children being happy at school.

He also linked their adjustment to the time he could devote to preparations for the Invictus Games in Birmingham.

'The kids are happy in school, and it gives me a chance to really focus on Invictus in Birmingham. The games are in July next year,' he said.

Harry spoke after completing a skydive to fulfil a promise to Ed Marshall, a 102-year-old Second World War veteran.

The jump also aimed to raise awareness of military charities. Asked about the family's return, he said, 'It's been great. It's been great to be back on British soil.'

After Archie and Lilibet's Return

The move followed six years in Montecito, California, where Harry and Meghan Markle built their lives after leaving Britain. They stepped down from their duties as working royals in 2020.

During the interview, Harry was asked why he and Meghan had decided to move back to his home country. He had previously attributed that decision to personal and financial reasons.

He acknowledged there were 'lots of reasons' behind the relocation but declined to discuss the others, saying he did not want to overshadow his work for Canadian veterans.

The family's return did not restore Harry's official duties. According to OK!, King Charles authorised a letter issued by the Lord Chamberlain two weeks after the family arrived, describing Harry and Meghan as 'private citizens'.

Addressed to government and military officials, the letter set out guidelines for the couple's conduct. The account said Charles had ruled out Harry resuming official duties.

Harry and Meghan were reportedly 'surprised' by the memo and would prefer to be described as 'public figures'. They were still awaiting a decision on whether they would receive taxpayer-funded security.

The earlier claims about the school commute concerned pressure on the family's security detail. The decision still awaited whether taxpayers would fund the protection, and the report gave no timetable for an outcome.

Harry also used the Canadian interview to express his attachment to the country, saying, 'Canada has a very special place in my heart.' His comments addressed Canadians amid tensions with the US.

'I love every single thing about Canada. And I think Canada plays an incredibly important part in moral leadership in today's world,' he said.

His heartfelt tributes resonated strongly with local audiences as he balanced international diplomacy with domestic parenting responsibilities.
