Royal fans dispute Meghan Markle's 'claims' about the UK in controversial interview

Meghan Markle once expressed her concern that if Prince Archie started school in the UK, she would "never be able to do school pickup and drop-off ." In 2022, Meghan, who is also mother to Princess Lilibet, invited The Cut into her home for an interview.

In a snippet from the interview , features writer Allison P. Davis notes: "Earlier in our conversation about her goals for the life she's creating here, she'd remarked upon how, if Archie were in school in the UK, she'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."

"'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," Meghan states. Royal enthusiasts have since criticized Meghan's comment, pointing out that the Prince and Princess of Wales often appear at their children's school, reports the Express .

According to HELLO!, Kate and William participate in all school activities and even "queued up for the tombola" at the school. Sources also mentioned in January that the day after Kate's Christmas Carol service at Westminster Abbey the previous month, the family of five all attended Lambrook School's Christmas fair.

The source observed: "I saw them queueing up for tombola tickets like everyone else. They really act like a normal mum and dad."

Speaking about Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, an insider shared: "They're lovely kids. Charlotte is so kind and friendly and the other children adore her. She's kind to the kids in younger years and she's very popular. George seems like a nice boy, too, and little Louis just has so much energy.

"If William and Kate ever can't make a sports match, their nanny goes along and spends most of the time running around the edge of the pitch after Louis. He's a typical little energetic five-year-old."
