Asked why, he answered simply: "Opportunities for the family." "Being able to put the kids in a British school has meant a lot to me. I didn't know how important it was to me," he said, adding that after two weeks, the children are "loving it" and getting "a whole different experience."

The development centers on the video interview itself: a sit-down recorded during Harry's September trip to New York City for GQ's One More Question series, released only recently.

Because it is Harry speaking on camera about the relocation, the rift with his family, and his hopes for the British press, the clip is the primary evidence for every claim in this story — Page Six frames it as Harry finally coming clean about the decision, and it is where the now-viral quotes about reconciliation and "endless playdates" originate.

Harry told GQ he is not criticizing American schools, but argued that for kids at 7 and 5, "to have two completely different cultural experiences is so important today."

HELLO! reports the children are "loving school" and getting endless playdates, though Harry quipped in Nottingham that Archie asked for a school without math — and was stumped when his first class was exactly that.

According to realtor.com, citing People, the children had to switch schools just two days into the academic year over security and logistical concerns around their commute, but have adapted well.

The striking turn is that the man who chronicled his grievances in a memoir and docuseries now says he wants peace.

Variety reports Harry told GQ, "Some people don't want it to work out. I want it to work out. With everything else that's going on in the world, the most important thing is to reconcile — that's the key point."

He said "scars stick around forever" but mindset matters, and "there's enough drama in the world" to continue family issues.

Variety also notes he defended telling his own story: "everybody else is allowed to tell their version of my story, but God forbid I should be able to tell the other side of it."

Harry addressed his history with the British media directly, saying his attitude has changed since the years of legal battles.

"Once you've been through it, once you've been able to talk about it, and raise awareness to it, then people see it for what it is, which makes the environment slightly easier," he told GQ, per realtor.com.

"It's not going to necessarily stop the behavior, but I think the behavior might — my hope that it will — change."

He added that what happened back then "was then," that some battles were fought "necessarily so," and that he hopes both sides can draw a line and work for the greater good, while stressing he is "not naive."

The interview surfaced days after Harry and Meghan's first official joint U.K. appearance since the move: an Oct.

15 visit to Nottingham, England — the city of their first joint engagement after their 2017 engagement announcement — where they greeted roughly 100 people and Meghan told one well-wisher, "It's great to be back."

An insider close to the couple told People, as reported by realtor.com, that the pair will now focus on philanthropic commitments, having first spent weeks helping the children adjust.

According to realtor.com, the family is staying at a friend's Cotswolds mansion while exploring property options, Meghan reportedly hoping for a nine-bedroom home like their Montecito estate — which they have reportedly decided to retain.
