Where are Prince Archie, Princess Lilibet going to go for school? Report

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s UK return has started making tidal wave style headlines and now the world has moved onto their school prospects.

The news of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s move was also followed by an admission that the children’s schooling has been decided, and they will start no later than September, however, details have been kept under wraps.

Now, sources close to New Idea have gone school by school, highlighting prospective options.

The first on the option is;

Ludgrove School

The school takes kids as young as ages 8-13 and costs £14,477 ($27,683) per term. Prince Harry also stayed at this school back in his youth and reports claim its headmaster at the time made it his life’s mission to ensure he and Prince William received total privacy from the media.

Similar praise even comes from Charles and Diana’s former spokesperson, Dickie Arbiter.

According to the outlet he once said, “Ludgrove was extremely good at protecting him and later Harry. It took them out of troubled waters.”

Bedales School

A less traditional option is what Bedales School is often called because it is co-educational, in Hampshire and could see both Archie and Lilibet together because it accepts children from 3-18.

Even actors and other high profile stars are alumni’s there. Namely, Lily Allen, Daniel Day-Lewis, Johnny Flynn, David Armstrong-Jones and Lady Sarah Chatto, etc etc.

Its costs range from £14,219 ($27,181) per term for just school days or £18,357 ($35,000) per term for boarding.

Eton College

Often a top pick for the royals, earlier admissions by Prince Harry himself have pushed this out of the running. A year earlier he himself told People via a spokesperson, “I can confirm that the Duke has not put his son’s name down for Eton and has no plans to send his son there.”

Moreover, its minimum age for students is around 13, an age neither Prince Archie nor Princess Lilibet have reached.

Lambrook School

Another option is one that Prince William and Kate Middleton opted for their own children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
