Prince Harry disclosed new information about his children's educational arrangements during a public appearance in Nottingham this week.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a joint outing on Thursday, marking their first combined public engagement since returning to Britain in August.
Although they no longer hold working royal status and are pursuing charitable endeavors as "private citizens," the appearance maintained traditional royal characteristics.

Both Harry and Meghan dedicated time to greeting the assembled crowd, posing for photographs and accepting presents.
These included flower arrangements and gift packages for their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who were absent from the public appearance. Despite Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, not accompanying them, Harry and Meghan frequently discussed their youngsters.

During conversations with local students who had assembled to meet them, Prince Harry discussed Archie's new educational institution in Britain.
He shared new information about the school, including what subject Archie encountered during his inaugural day, reports the Express.
The prince, crouching to engage with pupils, said, "Most people don't like math. My son turned around to me and said, 'Can I go to a school that doesn't do math?'"
The prince added, "I said, 'That doesn't exist!' And then he went to his new school, and on his first day, his first class, guess what it was? Math!"

Limited information has been disclosed regarding Archie and Lilibet's current educational institution in Britain. The school's name and precise location have been intentionally kept confidential for security purposes.
Nevertheless, it has been confirmed that the children are day students rather than boarders, attending classes only during daytime hours.
It's also understood that Harry and Meghan personally handle drop-off and pick-up duties, accompanied by their security detail.
The institution Archie and Lilibet presently attend is actually their second since relocating to the UK in August.
This change occurred because the initial school the children were enrolled at had a busy school run route, which Harry and Meghan's security personnel identified as a possible risk.
This led to the duke and duchess transferring their children to a different institution nearer to their rental residence. The couple emphasized that this choice was unrelated to the educational standards of the original school.

Both children are reportedly thriving and well-adjusted now. A family acquaintance revealed to People magazine earlier this week, "The kids have adjusted well."
Archie and Lilibet are unlikely to appear publicly alongside Harry and Meghan anytime soon. Although Meghan does post photos and videos of her children on Instagram, she consistently ensures that most of their faces remain obscured.
This approach is understood to stem from safety and security considerations.
