Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Spokesperson Shuts Down Reports of 6-Year-Old Archie Enrolling at Prestigious Eton College in the U.K.

Official Statement Addresses Speculation

September 24, 2025: A spokesperson for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has officially refuted the circulating rumors that their son, Prince Archie, is enrolled at Eton College or any U.K. boarding school. Despite recent media speculation, the couple’s representative confirmed that no such plans are in motion and that Archie’s name has not been registered.

False Reports Gain Media Attention

The rumors gained traction after conversation snippets and media articles suggested that Harry might send his 6-year-old son to follow in his footsteps. However, the spokesperson clarified that Harry “has not put his son’s name down for Eton and has no plans to send him there.”

Security Concerns and Age Factors

Though Harry has occasionally expressed admiration for British schools and community values—particularly after reuniting with family during recent U.K. visits—security concerns, logistics, and Archie’s current age are key factors in rejecting the idea. Eton, a prestigious all-boys boarding school, traditionally enrolls students aged 13 to 18—a far distance from where Archie stands now.

Life in California Remains the Priority

Harry and Meghan have been residing in California since stepping back from senior royal duties in 2020. The pair have been cautious about relocating or sending their children abroad, citing uncertainties around security in the U.K. In recent court rulings, Harry’s appeal to personally fund additional security for his family during U.K. appearances was denied, complicating the possibility of long-term plans in Britain.

Focus on Stability and Family Life

While Harry’s interest in reconnecting with his homeland has fueled speculation, the clarified statement firmly closes the door on immediate plans for Archie’s schooling abroad. For now, the Sussexes continue to prioritize stability and safety in their children’s upbringing, making deliberate and measured decisions despite public intrigue.
