As we've previously touched upon, private education both in the U.S. and in Britain is an expensive business. It's reported that Princess Charlotte's primary school education alone is currently costing Prince William and Princess Catherine around £20,000 a year, with this figure set to increase as she progresses. Needless to say, the bill goes up when you take Prince George and Prince Louis into account.
When Prince George started school in 2017, it was reported that King Charles III (then still the Prince of Wales) would likely be paying the fees. Whether this is still the case remains to be seen, but William isn't exactly short of cash. When his father became king, William inherited the Duchy of Cornwall, worth an estimated £1 billion. In a nutshell, William and Catherine can afford to give their children the best education money can buy without giving it a second thought.
If Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, decide to take the private route, then they aren't exactly in the same position. According to Harry, he was cut off from the crown's purse strings when he stepped down as a senior royal. Their lucrative Spotify deal was canceled, and there are reports that their $100 million Netflix deal is also on the rocks. While they may not be in dire straits, their much less steady financial situation could have an impact on whether they choose private or public schools for their children.
