Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Pull Archie and Lilibet From UK School After Just Two Days — Here’s Why
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently returned to the UK and enrolled their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in a new school. But just two days after the school year began, the couple made the surprising decision to move them again.
Security concerns are reportedly behind the move. The school had been kept private, and parents were reminded not to photograph or share information about pupils and their families.
According to the couple’s spokesperson, Harry and Meghan made the decision after discussing the school commute with their security team. Heavy traffic and the distance to the school reportedly made the daily journey difficult to secure.
A friend told Hello! that the children loved the school and enjoyed their time there, but the family ultimately decided the arrangement was not operationally safe.
The decision comes as Harry’s security arrangements in the UK are being reviewed, including whether he and Meghan should receive taxpayer-funded protection.
The sudden school change has already sparked strong reactions online, with some critics questioning why the security concerns were not addressed before the children started school.
