Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may forgo royal tradition and send their firstborn to an American school.
The pregnant Duchess of Sussex and the Duke of Sussex are said to be considering sending their child to the private, co-ed ACS Egham International School in Surrey.
Formerly known as the American Community School, ACS offers an American curriculum to pupils, from four to 18 years.
It is also conveniently located opposite Windsor Great Park, close to the couple’s future home, Frogmore Cottage, on the Windsor estate.
Both William and Harry went to Eton College for boys. William and wife Kate Middleton’s eldest son, Prince George, 5, started attending Thomas’ London Day School.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex “are thought to want a more diverse education for their child,” a source told E! News, adding that “Meghan is also keen for her child to be fully aware of their American heritage”.
The Sunday Times said some in royal circles have been speculating that Harry and Meghan might choose an American school for their child.
Kensington Palace had said that the two would move into Frogmore Cottage early this year.
Meghan was born and raised in Los Angeles and attended the all-girls Immaculate Heart High School.
Opting for ACS will be a likely cost saver, with annual fees between R180 000 and R45 000, while tuition at Eton is about R700 000.
Kensington Palace did not comment.
