SHOCK: Prince Harry gives major update on Archie, Lilibet school in new interview
Prince Harry has given a fresh update on family life in the UK, revealing that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are now settled into school following what he described as an “eventful” first two weeks back in Britain.
The Duke of Sussex spoke about the family’s return while attending the inaugural Invictus Spirit Gala Dinner and Awards in London on September 17.
The event marked one of Harry’s biggest public appearances since returning to the UK with Meghan Markle and their two children.
Speaking to Hello! Magazine, Harry reflected on being back on British soil, reconnecting with old friends and members of the Invictus community, while also sharing a rare update about Archie and Lilibet.
“It’s wonderful to be back on British soil, and really nice to see so many old faces and friends again,” he said.
Harry Reflects on ‘Eventful’ Return
Harry did not directly address the specific problems reportedly faced by the Sussexes during their first days back in Britain.
Instead, he acknowledged that the past fortnight had been busy.
Describing the period as “eventful”, he added: “But we’re getting stuck into the work, the kids are in school, and we’re all happy.”
The brief comment offered one of the clearest updates yet on Archie and Lilibet following the family’s return.
According to the supplied report, the children changed schools just two days into the new term because of security concerns.
The same report also claimed Meghan’s phone number was later leaked through a school WhatsApp group.
Harry did not directly discuss either incident in the interview.
Instead, his remarks suggested the family is now focusing on settling into life in Britain and moving forward with their routine.
Invictus Event ‘Meant Everything’
Harry also spoke warmly about the Invictus Spirit Gala Dinner and Awards, an event that had been in development for a considerable period.
“It’s meant everything,” he said.
“It’s been many, many weeks, many months, and years in the making.”
The Duke said the evening had provided an opportunity to highlight inspirational stories from within the Invictus community.
“We got to tell some incredible stories and celebrate some amazing heroes,” he added.
The event brought together supporters of the Invictus movement, with Harry once again placing wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans at the centre of the evening.
His appearance came after the inaugural awards raised significant funds for the wider work of the Invictus Games Foundation.
Harry Reunites With Old Friends
Harry’s comments also suggested that returning to Britain has allowed him to reconnect with people he has known for years.
He said it had been “really nice” to see old faces and friends again, offering a more personal glimpse into what the UK return has meant beyond official events.
That reunion appears to have been an important part of his first weeks back, particularly as the Sussexes begin adjusting to life in Britain with Archie and Lilibet.
The Duke did not elaborate on exactly which friends or relatives he had spent time with.
He also did not address the wider speculation surrounding his relationships with members of the Royal Family.
Instead, Harry kept his comments focused on family life, work and the Invictus community.
Archie and Lilibet Settling In
The strongest family update came in Harry’s confirmation that both children are now attending school.
His words — “the kids are in school, and we’re all happy” — appeared designed to reassure that the family is beginning to settle after a turbulent start.
The supplied report suggests those first days included security-related disruption and the reported leak of Meghan’s contact details.
However, Harry’s interview avoided dwelling on those issues.
Instead, he presented a far more positive picture of the family’s current situation.
After years based in the United States, the Sussexes’ return to Britain has attracted significant attention, particularly around how Archie and Lilibet will adapt to their new surroundings.
For now, Harry’s message was simple: despite an “eventful” start, the children are in school, the family is getting on with work, and they are happy to be back.
