Prince Harry and Meghan Markle won’t ‘hijack’ Prince George’s historic Eton debut, royal expert says

PUBLISHED Aug 26, 2026, 6:53 AM ET

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly expected to avoid releasing comments or photographs that could overshadow Prince George attending Eton College this September. Royal commentator Neil Sean stated the Sussexes assured the King they will not derail the milestone event. Kensington Palace confirmed Prince George, thirteen, will begin classes following Prince William and Prince Harry. Royal commentator Amanda Matta noted the arrival marks George launching his public path as heir to the throne. Matta explained palace staff are protective of the future-focused brand and aim to avoid competing headlines. A spokesperson for the Sussexes previously announced plans to spend an extended autumn period in the United Kingdom. Experts noted that while formal coordination remains absent, a complete media separation is unlikely due to ongoing public interest. British broadcaster Hilary Fordwich cautioned that the mere presence of the Sussexes naturally generates media speculation. Matta added that tabloid media coverage persists independently of direct actions taken by the family.
