Prince Harry has released a statement denying a claim that he reached out to his former school in a bid to secure Prince Archie a place at Eton.
The Duke of Sussex stated that he has no plans for his son to attend the prestigious school in the UK.
A spokesperson for the royal said: “Prince Harry has not put his son’s name down for Eton, nor does he have any plans to do so.”
It comes as Prince Harry appeared to have let slip his plan to have Archie and Lilibet schooled in the UK during a recent chat with singer Joss Stone.

She continued: “He was saying how wonderful the schools are here and how important community is for children.
“It was nice to share that with him because it’s exactly why we felt drawn to come back – for the kids to grow up surrounded by family, friends and a strong sense of belonging and most importantly in a safe environment.”
Earlier this month, a source claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in negotiations over Archie and Lilibet’s schooling.
The Duke of Sussex reportedly wants his children to be educated in the UK, while Meghan Markle is thought to be against sending the young royals to boarding school.
