Prince Harry’s push to give Archie, Lilibet royal upbringing exposes ‘contradiction’ after palace exit: expert

Prince Harry wants his children to embrace their British roots and royal heritage, but one expert says there's a glaring "contradiction." "Harry spent years telling us why he needed to escape royal life, said his father and brother were trapped, but now appears determined to make sure his children understand and retain their connection to it," Kinsey Schofield, host of YouTube's "Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered," told Fox News Digital.

"Perhaps with time and distance, he has realized that walking away from royal duties was much easier than walking away from the history, family and identity that came with them," Schofield said.

"Ultimately, Harry may finally be recognizing what has always seemed so obvious to the rest of us — being born a prince is an unbelievable privilege." PRINCE HARRY, MEGHAN MARKLE’S UK MOVE PUTS FRESH SPOTLIGHT ON THEIR EXPLOSIVE CLAIMS AGAINST ROYAL FAMILY On Aug.

20, it was announced that Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, had decided to return to the U.K. for an extended stay beginning this fall, but they would not resume their roles as working royals.

Their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, recently started school in England.

A source told People magazine that Harry "wants them to understand the world he grew up in and where their family comes from." Fox News Digital reached out to Archewell, which handles the offices of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, for comment.

"It is totally understandable that Harry wants Archie and Lilibet to grow up appreciating their British heritage, traditions and knowing their extended family," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital.

"But after all he has said and done, it's highly unlikely the family will ever trust Harry or welcome them all back into the family fold."

"He has expressed wanting his children to understand their paternal history." The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back as working royals and moved to California more than six years ago.

They later signed lucrative contracts with Netflix and Spotify as they sought to become financially independent.

In a series of interviews and Harry's memoir "Spare," the couple said they left Britain to escape the restrictions of royal life and criticized palace officials for being insensitive to Meghan's mental health while alleging that at least one member of the royal family had expressed racist views when she was pregnant with their first child.
