LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been slammed for their "facade" of "committment to progressive causes" over their school plans for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle slammed over major Archie and Lilibet decision
The former royal couple are said to be checking out select schools in Montecito, the luxurious California area where they reside.
The cost of sending their kids to a prestigious school might be high; one school they are thinking about is said to cost more than $40,000 per year.
Royal commentator Lee Cohen criticized the Duke and Duchess’ parenting decision, saying “their supposed commitment to progressive causes is nothing but a facade.”
He said in a statement to GB News, "It’s utterly infuriating to hear that Harry and Meghan, the self-proclaimed champions of equality and social justice, are even contemplating enrolling their children in an exclusive, outrageously expensive school,” adding, “Yet they’re willing to pay staggering tens of thousands per year for their children’s education. How can they possibly justify this when so many families struggle to afford even the basic necessities?”
The commentator called Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, “frauds” for considering sending their kids, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, to institutions that “perpetuate the very systems of privilege that they claim to expose.”
Royals author Tom Quinn also weighed in on the issue saying, "The only thing I’ve heard, because of Meghan’s background working in the kind of Hollywood world, he would be going to a very exclusive school, where the children of other celebrities go,” The Express reported on January 6.
He added, “I just think Meghan feels comfortable with people who, that’s why she’s living there, like rockstars, their children always go to school together. And famous actors, their children go to school together.”
Internet talks about former royal couple's decison
Social media users sided with the royal couple with a user saying on Yahoo, "I think safety is a real concern and 40,000 isn't a lot to pay for peace of mind if you can afford it. They can."
Another user said, "I am not fans of Harry and Meghan, but I have no problem with parents choosing whatever school they feel is best for their children. I can certainly understand privacy and safety concerns."
A user said, "None of us or our tax dollars are paying for it. Why do the negative people care where harry and Megan's children go?"
A user said, "If that's how they choose to spend their money, so what? I'm sure there are lots of other wealthy folks out in California who send their kids to private, exclusive schools simply because they can."
While another user said, "Most wealthy individuals send their children to expensive rivaled schools. He is the son of a king. His children are Prince and Princess, grandchildren of a King. Their life’s will always be a security risk".
