Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to mark special milestone with Prince Archie after Colombia tour

The couple’s five-year-old son, Prince Archie, is set to start school in the coming weeks.

In the US, children begin kindergarten at elementary school at around the age of five or six, whereas youngsters in the UK usually start compulsory education in reception in September after they have turned four.

While Archie and his younger sister, Princess Lilibet, are growing up as private citizens in Montecito in Santa Barbara, Harry and Meghan have shared sweet anecdotes about their children.

In Meghan’s interview with The Cut in 2022, it was revealed that Archie does full days at preschool and is “the cheerful kid who brings a week’s worth of freshly picked fruit for his classmates and enjoys playing a ‘roaring’ game at recess”.
