London, UK – Prince Harry has given an update on how his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are adjusting to life in the UK after his move with Meghan Markle last month.
“We’re getting stuck into the work. Kids are in school. We’re happy,” Harry told Hello! magazine.
He also mentioned that his family has been taking a lot of walks and that his little ones now enjoy “Marmite on crumpets” – a classic British breakfast.
Though the children are doing well, the start of the school year was a bit rocky for the Sussexes.

The siblings had to change schools just two days after the term began due to security concerns.
Among other things, Meghan’s private phone number was posted and shared in a WhatsApp chat with other school parents.
A spokesperson for the couple explained, “The decision for the children to move school ​was taken following a discussion with the family’s security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements.
“The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they ​have shown their family.”
The spokesperson added that this decision should not be taken as criticism of the school or the exceptional care the children have received there.

An insider also said that Harry and Meghan live too far from the school, making the commute impractical and unsafe.
“It’s a real shame, because they absolutely adored the school, the kids and their parents,” the source said.
“It was perfect for them in every way, and the children really enjoyed their time there. They really wanted to make it work, but they had to make a difficult decision based on the fact that the team couldn’t make the school run operationally secure.”
Just a few weeks ago, Harry and Meghan unexpectedly announced that they would be returning to the UK after roughly six years in the US and a public rift with the royal family.
