Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are “happy in school”, the Duke of Sussex has said.
Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, started at a UK school earlier this month after being moved from another school in the area because of security concerns.
Speaking to Canadian network CTV, the Duke said: “The kids are happy in school and it gives me a chance to really focus on Invictus in Birmingham.
“The games are in July next year.”

On his return to Britain, he added: “It’s been great. It’s been great to be back on British soil.
“It’s great to be back on terra firma, actually.”
The Duke, who is preparing to stage his Invictus Games, made the comments after completing a skydive outside Toronto to honour a promise made to a 102-year-old Second World War veteran.

Earlier this month, the Sussexes moved their children to a new school over concerns about the daily commute.
The children spent two days at the school before the Duke and Duchess removed them.
Heavy traffic and the distance between the school and the property at which the family is staying were critical factors.
One incident is said to have made it difficult for the couple’s private security team to stay in convoy.

Bodyguards for the Sussexes carried out checks at the first school over the summer holidays, after the couple decided to return to Britain, but were unable to inspect the school run until the first day of term.
The Duke has since been seen settling Lilibet into her new class and the couple are said to have been added to parents’ WhatsApp groups.
The security team is understood to feel much more positive about the new choice, which is much closer to their home.
