What to Know
The past couple of months have been very eventful for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s family. Not only did they all make the international move from California back to the UK, but Archie and Lili also started the year at a brand new school (twice, after the first one didn’t work out due to security concerns).
During a public appearance this week, Harry shared an update on how school is going for Archie so far, and his 7 year old son has one very specific complaint that a lot of other kids his age are going to be able to relate to.
Meghan and Harry stepped out in Nottingham on Thursday.
This marked their first public, joint appearance since moving back to the UK, and the crowd of people in Nottingham seemed more than happy to welcome them both home — and shower them with gifts, flowers, and even balloons.
At one of their stops, more than 100 people, including children, had been waiting to greet the couple, and while they took the time to thank people for their support, Harry chatted with a group of kids who had gathered, even getting down to their level to talk to them.
Harry shared a cute story about Archie — and his least favorite school subject.
A video shared on Instagram by a royal correspondent showed Harry totally in the moment, leaning down to talk to the kids about his own son, which must have been a lot of fun for him.
“Most people don’t like math,” Harry tells the kids in the video. “My son turned around to me and said, ‘Can I go to a school that doesn’t do math?’ I said, ‘That doesn’t exist!’”
Still, it sounds like Archie was holding out hope that there wouldn’t be math at his new school, but sadly, he was disappointed.
Harry continued, “And then he went to his new school, and on his first day, his first class, guess what it was? Math!”
Better luck next time, Archie!
So far, the kids seem to be doing well in their new environment.
According to what a source close to Meghan and Harry told People earlier this month that Archie and Lili have “adjusted well” to the move, even though it has to be an overwhelming change for them both. It’s not like Archie remembers living in England as a baby!
“After they first arrived in England, their focus was on establishing a routine and getting the kids settled into school,” the source said of Harry and Meghan. “Now they’re both excited to focus more on their work and the projects that matter to them. During the week, while the kids are in school, they’re working. They’re enjoying family weekends together.”
Who knows — maybe this will even be the year that Archie learns to love math? If not, that’s fine too. Plenty of us would rather live in a world without math class!
