During a March 2025 appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show”, Meghan said Archie and Lilibet have “very American accents,” but occasionally pronounce words like their father. Archie was born in London in 2019 before the family moved to California in 2020.
Lilibet was born in California in 2021, meaning both children have spent most of their lives in the United States. Now their schooling has put the family’s British security arrangements at the center of attention again.

The Sudden Switch Sparks Strong Reactions
The abrupt change prompted plenty of reaction online, with some commenters focusing on the children while others questioned Harry and Meghan’s decisions. Under an Instagram post, one person wrote, “Please let these children go to school in peace. Acting like that is very scary for them.”
Another commented, “OMG. Can Harry & Meghan behave like average folks who get up every morning send their children to school & then the parents actually go to work.” A third questioned the family’s return to Britain: “So it’s dangerous in the UK but safe in the US? Why did they move back to the UK then?”
Others kept their responses short. “Those poor kids,” one person wrote. Another said, “That is the most performative thing they’ve done in a while.” One commenter added, “😮Feel for the kids. They must be a bit confused.”
The discussion spilled onto Facebook, where another person wrote, “Everything is a drama. Everything is crisis mode.” A second commenter asked, “Why don’t they take their kids to school themselves like every other parent does including the Prince and Princess!!”
