Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have finally addressed the ongoing rumors about their son, Prince Archie, potentially attending a very prestigious school overseas.
As the royal children grow older, with several reaching high school age, there is growing interest in the educational choices their parents will make.
Recently, despite Archie being only six years old, speculation has arisen that Meghan and Harry plan to send him to school in the UK, particularly Eton College. This is the same elite school that Harry and his brother Prince William attended, with a notable tuition fee of £21,099.60 per term.
However, a representative for the Sussexes has stepped forward to dispel these rumors.

"I can confirm that the Duke has not enrolled his son at Eton and has no intention of doing so," the spokesperson told PEOPLE on Wednesday (24 September).
This clarification comes after a Daily Beast report that emerged over the weekend, claiming Harry had registered Archie at Eton, the distinguished boarding school where 12-year-old Prince George is anticipated to start next year.
Meanwhile, another Daily Mail report suggested that Harry had discussed with a friend his interest in having his children educated in the UK.

Following George's 12th birthday in July, royal fans have been eager to learn which secondary school William and Kate Middleton will choose for their eldest child.
It seems likely that the couple has already made a decision privately, but they have yet to release a public statement confirming where George will continue his education.
According to GB News, the reason for this delay is apparently linked to public reaction.

The outlet reports that 'Kensington Palace has postponed announcing George's secondary school choice due to potential disruptions it might cause'.
Given the Royal Family's tradition of attending Eton and the school's experience with necessary security measures, many experts believe Eton will likely be the choice - though not every royal expert concurs.
"One key factor the Royal Family must consider is the security arrangements," says Melanie Sanderson, managing editor of The Good Schools Guide, as reported by The i Paper.
She added: "I believe Eton is a likely option because they are well-versed in educating senior royals."
