Prince Archie's £2,000 Soccer Dream: A Royal at the British-Themed Camp!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son Archie is a budding football player and currently attends a £2,000-British-themed 'soccer camp' located over an hour away from the Sussexes' Montecito mansion

Meghan Markle's Son Archie Steals the Spotlight with His Love for Football!

It looks like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's little ones are growing up to be a talented bunch! Their son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, has been spotted at a £2,000-a-year British-themed soccer camp in California, where he's reportedly learning the ins and outs of football. The six-year-old prince, who's already shown off his skills in a series of adorable photos posted by his mom on Instagram, is clearly following in his father's footsteps - after all, Prince Harry was spotted kicking a ball around their Montecito home in a scene from their bombshell Netflix docuseries.

But what's even more interesting is that Archie's football fever has led him to join the 'Just Play League' at GB Soccer School, where he'll be competing against other young players under the guidance of a coach. And let's just say, it looks like his team spirit is off the charts - we're talking enthusiastic cheers, determined faces, and more than a few proud parents (including Harry and Meghan, of course!) cheering him on from the sidelines.

It emerged that the young prince, six, loves football after he was spotted wearing a red jersey in photos posted online by his mother, as the Duchess of Sussex made a last-ditch effort to promote her 'intolerable' Netflix show With Love, Meghan. It appears students at the Californian 'soccer school' are all wearing the same number 10 jersey seen on Archie

Now, we know what you're thinking: £2,000-a-year for a soccer camp? Sounds steep, right? But it's worth noting that this isn't just any old sports facility - GB Soccer School offers top-notch coaching, state-of-the-art facilities, and even private coaching sessions (for an extra fee, naturally). And judging by the photos posted by Meghan, Archie is clearly having the time of his life, whether he's learning new skills or bonding with his teammates.

But what about the other royal kids? Well, Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, Archie's younger sister, has also been making waves in her own way. The four-year-old princess was spotted sitting pretty in a director's chair on set during filming for Meghan's Netflix series "With Love, Meghan," where she wore a sweet pink jumper and navy blue polka-dot pants. And we can't help but notice that her mom is clearly using this show to promote the family's adopted Californian lifestyle - after all, who wouldn't want to watch a royal family surfing, camping, and cooking up a storm in the great outdoors?

But back to Archie and his soccer skills: it seems like he's got a natural talent for the game. And if you're wondering how much this is costing Harry and Meghan, well, let's just say they're shelling out big bucks for their son's love of football. According to the GB Soccer School website, an eight-week session will set them back anywhere from £1,900 to £2,148 - not cheap, but it looks like Archie is worth every penny!

In one photo, Meghan's red-headed son can be holding up a clapperboard while another showed Archie and daughter, Lilibet, four, watching the various camera operations that were rolling. Archie's football jersey was clearly visible in all the snaps

And while we're on the subject of money, let's talk about Meghan's latest Netflix series. Critics have been less than kind to "With Love, Meghan," with some calling it "boring" and "contrived." But Meghan's fans are sticking by her, saying that she's being unfairly targeted because of her royal connections.

So what do we think? Are Harry and Meghan's kids going to be the next big thing in sports? Or is this just a fun way for them to spend quality time together as a family? Whatever it is, one thing's for sure: Archie Mountbatten-Windsor has got the spotlight firmly fixed on him - and we can't get enough of that adorable smile!

The soccer camp later seemingly confirmed that Archie was one of its students by reposting Meghan's Instagram post on their own Stories with emojis of a smiling face and football
