Prince Harry and Meghan Markle didn’t move to the US alone; they brought their son, Prince Archie, with them when they first flew to Canada. In 2021, they moved into their multimillion-dollar mansion in Montecito, California, and welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
Even though Archie and Lilibet are still very young, they are often talked about in the news. Lilibet recently turned three, but no members of the Royal Family attended her birthday party. People are wondering what kind of relationship Archie and Lilibet will have with their UK-based cousins – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. There’s a rumor that King Charles wants to be more involved in the lives of Harry and Meghan’s children.
This fall, Archie is starting kindergarten, and Lilibet is getting ready for preschool. Harry and Meghan have been looking at schools for them, but one US journalist called them “frauds” because of this.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to the US to have a more private life, away from the paparazzi and the pressures of being part of the royal family. It’s said they knew just days after their wedding that they didn’t want to stay in the royal family for long.
When Archie was born in 2019, they had already started trying to become more private. They didn’t want to be used as “puppets” by the royal family for fans and the media around the world.
Harry & Meghan ‘tricked” reports when Archie was born
In her book The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown, royal expert Katie Nicholl said that Harry was “almost morbidly obsessed” with keeping Archie’s birth a secret, which is very different from the usual way royal babies are born.
Despite many fans and the public wanting to know about the baby, Harry and Meghan’s wish for privacy was ignored and seen as part of the “unwritten contract between the royals and the public.”
Rebecca English, the royal editor of the Daily Mail, mentioned that things were so tense behind the scenes that some officials were reduced to tears out of frustration and despair.
Usually, when a royal baby is born, the parents pose for photos on the hospital steps and answer a few questions before going back to their private life. But according to Katie Nicholl, Harry and Meghan wanted to handle Archie’s birth differently. Instead of openly facing the media, they tricked reporters and photographers.
Prince William, Prince Harry, and William’s children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—were all born at St Mary’s Hospital, where their first baby photos were taken. However, Meghan’s doctor worked at Portland Hospital, so it made sense for her to have Archie there instead.

An added bonus for Harry and Meghan was that the entrance at Portland Hospital made taking photos impossible due to safety concerns.
“Harry had always enjoyed outsmarting the media,” wrote Katie Nicholl in The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown. She added that Harry and Meghan were thrilled to have their son at Portland Hospital in London before the palace press office even confirmed Meghan was in labor.
Lilibet’s birth was different. She was born in June 2021 in California, where no paparazzi got close. However, it wasn’t long before Harry and Meghan brought their kids back into the public eye.
Two years after Lilibet’s birth, Harry and Meghan announced that they had given their children the titles of prince and princess. While they claim these titles are their children’s birthright, not everyone agreed it was a good idea. Royal expert Angela Levin believes it could have a negative impact on Archie and Lilibet’s futures.
In an article for Sky, Angela Levin said that Lilibet now has a heavy burden because of her parents’ decision.
“It will take a long time for little Lilibet to understand the burden her parents have put on her,” Levin said.
She added that by giving their daughter an official royal title, Harry and Meghan have now “attached her to the British Royal Family,” which they have criticized for many years.
“Why would you want your daughter to go through such trouble?” Levin asked, saying that Lilibet’s daily life will be more difficult because she has the title of princess.
King Charles ‘desperate’ to meet Archie & Lilibet
“Little girls love pretending to be princesses at parties, but if Lilibet is the only real princess in her class, it could cause jealousy that could be avoided,” the royal expert said.
Archie and Lilibet are growing up quickly. Archie turned 5 in May, and Lilibet turned 3 a little over a week ago. On June 5, Lilibet had a birthday party, but no members of her royal family attended. Princess Eugenie is the only royal who has visited Harry, Meghan, and their children in California.
Although King Charles’s relationship with Harry and Meghan is strained, he is reportedly “heartbroken” about not having a relationship with Archie and Lilibet. The King has only met Archie five times and Lilibet once.
Speaking with the Mirror, royal expert Ingrid Seward said Charles’s cancer diagnosis has made his relationship with Archie and Lilibet even more poignant, as he realizes he “won’t be around forever.”
“Family has always been important to the King. He remembers his own fragmented childhood because his parents were always busy with their duties. It is a great sadness to him that he doesn’t see more of Archie and Lilibet,” Seward explained.
“That’s why he will never cut ties with Harry. He doesn’t want to only see his son’s children on FaceTime. He wants to know them and be part of their lives while they are still young enough to learn from him. His cancer diagnosis has made this even more important to him because he knows he won’t be around forever.”
Meghan revealed real reason why Archie will never attend a UK school
Only time will tell what Harry and Meghan’s children will do when they grow up. They can choose any path they want, including working as royals. However, their parents likely plan for them to attend some of the best and most expensive schools in the world.
Their UK relatives have gone to famous schools like Gordonstoun in Scotland and Eton in England. But it’s said that Harry and Meghan wouldn’t let their son go to school in the UK.
In a 2022 article for The Cut, journalist Allison Davis shared a conversation she had with Meghan Markle. Meghan said she didn’t want her son Archie to attend school in the UK because of safety concerns.
Meghan explained that if Archie went to school in the UK, she would never be able to pick him up or drop him off without a crowd of photographers taking pictures. She told Allison, “Sorry, I have a problem with that. It doesn’t mean I’m obsessed with privacy. It means I’m a strong and good parent protecting my child.”
Archie and Lilibet have a lot of time before they start high school or college. For now, they will probably go to a school near their home in Montecito, California, where they live.
Harry and Meghan “inspecting” expensive private school for Archie & Lilibet
One journalist says that Harry and Meghan have started looking at schools in their area, but they’re getting a lot of criticism for their choices.
Richard Mineards from the Montecito Journal told the Mirror that Harry and Meghan checked out a local private school, which is very expensive.
“The couple was seen visiting the school campus last week, getting closer to making a decision,” Mineards said.
He added, “In our area, school fees range from $50,000 to $60,000 or more for older grades, and most students go on to four-year colleges.”
It’s assumed that Harry and Meghan can afford to send their children to private schools. However, not everyone is happy about Harry looking at such an expensive school.
US journalist Lee Cohen has criticized the royal couple, calling them “frauds.” In an interview with GB News, he said it’s “infuriating” that the Sussexes are planning to enroll their kids in an “outrageously expensive” school, especially since they often talk about equality.
Lee Cohen said, “It’s extremely frustrating to hear that Harry and Meghan, who claim to be champions of equality and social justice, are thinking about sending their children to an exclusive, very expensive school.”
Harry & Meghan branded “frauds”
Lee Cohen continued, “Their supposed commitment to equality and social justice is just a show. If they’re willing to send their kids to such an elite, extremely expensive school, they’re not really supporting equality. They’re paying tens of thousands of dollars a year for their children’s education, while many families can’t even afford basic needs.”
Cohen wrapped up by accusing Harry and Meghan of maintaining the “systems of privilege” they claim to fight against.
“Sending their kids to such a prestigious school just shows how fake their claims are. They’re upholding the very privilege they say they’re trying to challenge,” Cohen told GB News.
I Finally Introduced My Man to My Sister but It Turned out Nothing like I Expected
IN AN ASTONISHING TWIST, OLIVIA UNCOVERED HER BOYFRIEND’S SECRET RELATIONSHIP WITH HER SISTER. THIS LED TO A DRAMATIC CONFRONTATION THAT EXPOSED HIS DECEPTION TO THE WORLD. THEIR STORY OF BETRAYAL AND SISTERLY BONDING QUICKLY BECAME INTERNET FODDER.
Life is full of unexpected turns, especially when you least anticipate them. Hi, I’m Olivia. After years of feeling alone, I finally thought I’d found happiness. His name was Sam—charming, attentive, and genuinely interested in everything I had to say.
We clicked on a deep level, and for the first time in ages, I felt genuinely happy. He seemed like someone special, someone who could become family one day.
Family means the world to me, especially my sister, Jackie. She’s not just a sibling; she’s been a second mother to me. After we lost our mom, Jackie held our family together, making countless sacrifices without a second thought.
That’s why introducing Sam to Jackie was so important to me. It wasn’t just a formality; it was a significant step, and I needed her approval.
The perfect opportunity arose during one of Jackie’s biggest events—her regional dance competition. The atmosphere was electric, filled with music and applause.
I arrived early, a bundle of nerves and excitement. I couldn’t wait to see Jackie perform, always a treat, and today, Sam would finally meet her. He promised he’d be there.
Jackie was breathtaking on stage, every move telling a story, her emotions evident in every leap and turn. As the crowd cheered at the end of her performance, pride swelled within me. She looked radiant as she approached me.
But then, everything changed. Sam rushed in, slightly out of breath and full of apologies. “I’m so sorry I’m late, Olivia,” he gasped.
Before I could respond, Jackie spotted him. Her face lit up in a way that puzzled me at first, then alarmed me. She bypassed me and threw herself into Sam’s arms. “You made it!” she exclaimed, turning back to me with a bright smile. “This is my sister, Olivia,” she said, as if introducing me at a party.
Everything seemed to freeze around me. “Jackie, you know Sam?” I managed to choke out, my voice barely audible over the continuing applause.
Jackie’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked from Sam to me. “You know him too?” she exclaimed, genuine astonishment in her voice. Her arms were still around him, but her smile faltered as she sensed something was amiss.
My stomach dropped. The betrayal hit me like a ton of bricks, but it wasn’t from Jackie—she was as clueless as I had been. “He’s been seeing both of us, Jackie. He never mentioned you,” I forced out, the words heavy with heartache.
Sam’s eyes darted nervously between us, guilt etched on his face. “Olivia, Jackie, I… I’m so sorry. I didn’t know how to…” he trailed off, unable to finish.
Jackie slowly pulled away from Sam, stepping back as reality sank in. Her expression shifted from surprise to hurt as she absorbed the revelation. “But, Sam, I thought…” her voice trailed off, the pain evident.
Realizing that Sam had deceived us both, especially without Jackie’s knowledge, intensified the pain. As the applause continued around us, I felt a hollow emptiness envelop me, leaving me more isolated than ever in the midst of the crowd.
Leaving the crowd, the noise, and the celebration at the dance competition felt like stepping into a void of silence. My mind was spinning. The fact that Sam had been with Jackie—my sister, my closest confidante—and neither of them knew about me shattered everything I thought was true. I felt betrayed, alone, and utterly devastated.
As I walked, shock turned into anger. How could Sam do this to us? How could he not see the damage he was causing? My trust in him shattered with every step. I needed answers, and I needed to confront him. I turned back, determination hardening within me.
I found Sam and Jackie talking quietly, a stark contrast to the earlier jubilant scene. “How long, Sam?” I demanded, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside. Jackie looked at me, confusion and pain evident in her eyes. She was a victim too.
“It wasn’t supposed to happen like this,” Sam began, his voice wavering. “I started seeing Jackie after we met, but I didn’t know how to end things when I realized I was in too deep.”
I scoffed at his feeble excuse. “And you thought deceiving both of us would fix that?” The pain was overwhelming, but so was the clarity that accompanied it. Sam was a manipulator, and we were mere pawns in his game.
In the days that followed, my heartbreak fueled a desire for action. I couldn’t let Sam walk away, leaving a trail of broken hearts behind him. I had to expose him for who he truly was.
I reached out to others, initially to see if anyone else had experienced what Jackie and I had. What I discovered was a pattern so consistent it was chilling. Sam had left a string of deceived women in his wake, each with a story eerily similar to ours.
Together, we devised a plan. It was bold, dramatic, and it would show Sam the consequences of his actions. We called it the “Hall of Betrayal.” We invited Sam to an event under the pretense of reconciliation, but what awaited him was far from it.
The day of the event arrived. The venue was set, each detail carefully chosen to reflect the stories of those he’d wronged. As the women gathered, there was a sense of solidarity among us.
We were no longer isolated in our pain but united in our determination. We prepared a presentation, each woman ready to share her story. The room slowly filled, anticipation thick in the air.
Sam entered, looking confused but cautiously optimistic. His expression fell as he stepped into the main hall, greeted not by warm embraces but by a sea of familiar faces, none too pleased to see him. As he realized the true nature of the event, his confidence waned, replaced by a growing dread.
I took the floor first, my voice unwavering. “Welcome, Sam, to the Hall of Betrayal,” I declared, locking eyes with him. “Tonight, you’ll hear the stories you know so well, the ones you crafted. Each of us trusted you, and you chose to deceive us all.”
The room fell silent except for the voices of the women he’d hurt, each taking their turn. With each story, Sam’s face grew paler, the impact of his deceit laid bare for all to see. This was our moment of truth, and for Sam, a much-needed reckoning with the consequences of his actions.
The “Hall of Betrayal” was more than just a confrontation—it was a declaration. As each woman spoke, the room filled with the weight of truths finally being spoken aloud. I watched as Sam’s initial confusion turned into undeniable realization.
His charming facade crumbled, replaced by a somber, almost frightened expression. He looked small, overwhelmed by the sea of faces he had once manipulated.
Jackie and I stood together, a united front against the man who had tried to tear us apart. When it was our turn to speak, Jackie’s voice was steady, but I could sense the tremor of emotion beneath her words.
“We trusted you, Sam. You didn’t just play with our emotions, but with our sisterhood,” she said, her gaze steady. I followed suit, my words echoing hers, “You toyed with our lives, thinking you could keep it all hidden. Today, everyone knows the truth.”
The room erupted in a mix of applause and murmurs as our stories unfolded. Sam’s apologies, when they finally came, were drowned out by the collective voice of determination and rebuke from the women he’d wronged.
Reflecting on everything that transpired, I realized that our story was a lesson in trust and the damage caused by deceit. It taught me that while the truth may hurt, silence and lies are far more damaging.
Jackie and I, along with every woman involved, discovered our strength and the power of standing together. In the end, we turned a painful chapter into a story of empowerment and solidarity, a reminder that no one has to face betrayal alone.
