He stated: "It's very likely and completely possible," Grant explained, when asked if Archie and Lilibet could come to the UK for university or school.
"If they have their younger education in America, I'm sure their father will be quite keen to have a bit of a British education," he continued.
Mr Harrold added: "But then it depends on how the relationship is with the rest of the family when the time comes."
Despite this, Meghan has been open about her own worries around intense media scrutiny that might come with enrolling their children in UK schools.
In her previous bombshell interview with The Cut, she said: "If Archie were in school in the UK, I'd never be able to do school pickup and drop-off without it being a royal photo call with a press pen of 40 people snapping pictures."
She then added, "Sorry. I have a problem with that.
"That doesn't make me obsessed with privacy.
"That makes me a strong and good parent protecting my child."
Harry, who moved to the US in 2020, has previously expressed how much he enjoys raising Archie and Lilibet in America - also citing a reason for his feelings.
Speaking at a summit in New York City in December, Harry said: "I very much enjoy living here and bringing my kids up here.
"It's a part of my life that I never thought I was going to live."
Discussing his reason for enjoying bringing his children up in America, he said: "I feel as though it's the life that my mum wanted for me.
"To be able to do the things I'm able to do with my kids that I undoubtedly wouldn't be able to do in the UK - it's huge.
"That is a fantastic opportunity and I'm hugely grateful for that."

Aardman's ‘Pokémon' Show Looks Absolutely Delightful
Late last year, the Pokémon Company revealed a surprise animation collab: it would work with the legendary British studio Aardman—the team behind Chicken Run, Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, and more—to create a new Pokémon series. Now, we've had a delightful first look, and it is going to be a suitably British-feeling adventure into the world of Pocket Monsters. During today's Pokémon Presents livestream, Aardman revealed that its series would be called Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch'd and Pichu. The brief animated teaser showed the titular heroes, the Galarian-region evolution of Farfetch'd, and the baby Pokémon pre-evolution of Pikachu, engaging in unseen shenanigans as a delightfully oblivious Wooloo relaxed in a field. It's perhaps only fitting that the minds behind Shaun the Sheep focused their trailer on a sheep Pokémon! Little else was revealed about the series, other than the fact that it will seemingly take place in the Galar region—the UK-inspired land introduced in Pokémon Sword & Shield—and will focus on the perspective of Pokémon rather than human beings. That's all, of course, very fitting for Aardman, given their love of eccentric Britishisms and physical comedy with silent characters like Gromit and Shaun. We'll be waiting a while to see more—Aardman says that The Misadventures of Sirfetch'd and Pichu will release some time in 2027. Want more io9 news?

New summer barbecue series in north Norfolk countryside
A north Norfolk farmhouse restaurant is launching a series of themed summer barbecue events. Nest Farmhouse, located in the North Norfolk countryside, has announced the launch of its 'Pondside Sessions', which will be taking place by the pond every weekend throughout the summer. The events are set to bring a variety of food and drinks each weekend in partnership with two local drinks producers. The list of producers includes Malt Coast, Barsham, Duration, Brancaster Drinks, Burn Valley, WhataHoot, and Cobble Hill. The first session, scheduled for July 25 to 26, will feature the popular British smash burger, offering a choice of classic or spicy options. The following weekend, August 1 to 2, will see a traditional smoky pit barbecue inspired by the American South, with dry rubbed, smoked beef brisket in crispy ciabatta, and sticky pork ribs. On the weekend of August 8 to 9, attendees can enjoy smoky jerk chicken wraps. The fourth weekend, August 15 to 16, will focus on hot dogs, offering both classic and chilli dog options.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own picnic mats if they wish to sit on the lawn. Blankets will be provided as the sun sets. The sessions will run on Friday evenings from 4pm to 9pm, and Saturdays from 12pm to 5pm, with the event on Saturday, August 9, ending at 4pm. All events are walk-in only, though reservations are available for groups of eight or more.

To Harvard (the town), with love
Kathryn Croyle graduated from Bryn Mawr College in May 2011, and had planned to spend the summer on Nantucket with her parents and two girlfriends. But after Kathryn — who goes by Katie — got into the Stanislavsky Summer School, an acting intensive led by Moscow Art Theatre instructors in Harvard Square, she changed her mind. ' And I wanted to hang out with this guy. ...' She decided to stay at home in Harvard, sending her friends off to Nantucket with her parents. (Spoiler: both friends would end up being Katie's bridesmaids.) Related : Before their Sunday wedding, the Memorial Day weekend festivities stretched from candlepin bowling at Harvard Lanes and Korean takeout from Woo Jung in Ayer on Thursday and a rehearsal dinner and s'mores welcome party on Saturday in the Croyles' backyard wetland garden (pictured). 'They've been working on it for 40 years,' says Katie. Henry & Mac The guy was Stephen Hayward, her former classmate from The Bromfield School, the public school in Harvard, where they both grew up. Stephen, who goes by Steve, was living with his parents while studying comparative literature at Harvard Extension School in Cambridge, and working at the They hadn't been friends at Bromfield, but they had shared the stage in British verse dramas; Steve had the lead while Katie — now a working actor — played the 'lowly, bar maiden,' she says. Steve doesn't recall any meaningful exchanges with Katie then, but by 2011, he found her impossible to forget: 'She was just a world-class beauty,' he says. Advertisement The pair had begun to notice each other during college breaks, and a kinship blossomed over Beckett and Bulgakov. That summer, Katie would stop in for iced lattes and to see the 'bad boy' from high school. Advertisement 'He was a tortured poet,' she explains. 'He had Recounting the start of the couple's romance, their friend and officiant Evan Horwitz told wedding guests: 'They did something only people in love are foolish enough to do: they sat down in the middle of the road and talked about how beautiful the moon was, that it was a 'Peter Pan' moon, and they kissed." Henry & Mac They'd carpool to class in Cambridge, grabbing dinner after, before heading home. On Katie's 22nd birthday that July, Steve left her party after an argument with a friend. He was walking home, heated, when he heard her running behind him. 'Don't leave!' she cried after him. 'Why are you leaving?' He stopped in his tracks: 'I can't actually remember how I felt [in that moment], but I'm sure I was head over heels for Katie.' Related : It was after midnight, and 'my road doesn't have any streetlights,' explains Steve, 'so it's dark, pitch black.' They sat beneath what they now refer to as the 'Peter Pan moon' and had their first kiss. The following years sent the couple to new stages and cities as Katie pursued her art. They spent four years in South Philadelphia, where she studied at the Headlong Performance Institute, before heading back north in 2016, when she got into Brown University's Trinity MFA Program. The brief march to the reception after the ceremony featured a brass band and the couple's dog, Josie, who wore a flower crown made by Katie Henry of Rumphius Flowers. "[Josie] had one shining moment when we paraded down from the church to the General Store," says Steve. Henry & Mac Steve greeted her at home with a sheet cake. Written in icing: 'Providence, here we come!' His content marketing job was remote, meaning he could write and have joy-filled days, no matter the location. 'I've never laughed harder than with Katie,' he says. 'She says things that constantly amaze me.' 'This is my person. I couldn't live without her.' For Katie, acting was a challenging career choice, but Steve's support kept her afloat: 'It's a hard life, you face a lot of rejection.... you have to actively choose not to be jaded. We grew up together and figured that out together.' Advertisement The Covid-19 pandemic As part of her "Little Women" vision for the reception, Katie had been inspired by celebratory scenes in the film, in particular a Christmas scene where the sisters make garland from dried fruit. As a nod to the source, Molly O'Rourke used tiny marzipan fruits and vegetables to serve as escort card holders and dotted the tables with colorful mushrooms, corn, and cornichons. Henry & Mac In March 2020, they moved back to work at the store alongside Steve's younger brother, Danny, also a displaced actor from New York. Steve was the general manager. Katie did marketing and got inventory online so residents could order curbside pickup. As restrictions loosened, they began food service on the patio where Danny was head chef. 'We fell into a life that was very nice, but we were like, at some point, we have to go home,' says Katie. Home, they agreed, was Brooklyn, where they returned in summer 2022 and currently reside. (The store in Harvard remains in Scott's hands.) In 2024, Steve planned to propose on 'the first beautiful day in May' at Belvedere Castle in Central Park, which he'd read about in a Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child thriller. When Katie noticed Steve was flustered by the flood of sunbathing New Yorkers and deduced his intentions for the castle under a blazing sun, she said, 'We're not gonna do that there.' She redirected them to a quiet, shaded area, where Steve proposed instead. 'I can go off a cliff,' says Steve, 'and Kate is really, really good at talking me off that cliff.' The couple hired a DJ from Dart Collective to play in the General Store's upstairs "disco"; late night snacks and karaoke were served while an ice cream cart served scoops downstairs. Henry & Mac Katie and Steve, now both 37, wed on May 25 at Harvard Unitarian Universalist Church. Advertisement Katie had made her 'acting debut' as the Baby Jesus in the church's 1989 nativity play, and they agreed there was no better homage to their love story than their hometown. Their close friend, Evan Horwitz, officiated their Sunday ceremony. Afterwards, Wedding planner Molly O'Rourke of Dinner was from Chef Danny Newberg's The couple chose May 25, 2025, as their wedding date because "it was a palindrome." When their officiant pointed out the date was not technically a palindrome, the couple shut him down with an expletive we will not print here. Henry & Mac Upon their return from their Croatia-Italy honeymoon, the newlyweds headed to a YMCA camp in New Hampshire for Katie's summer job running programming for grades 5-6. They spoke with the Globe from their cabin, where Steve works remotely for a nonprofit devoted to ending food insecurity. There are weeks of malfunctioning bugles, gaggles of campers, and their bernedoodle, Josie. But, amidst the unpredictability, the newlyweds say they're more in love than ever. 'We talked a lot about [how] it's so weird, planning this wedding, when it feels like things are falling apart around us,' says Katie. 'We came to the conclusion that having a wedding is like betting on the future in a time when it feels really dark to do so. We have the privilege to choose joy every day and getting married felt like betting on that.' Advertisement Read more from , The Boston Globe's new weddings column.
