Prince Harry and Meghan Move Kids From UK School Over Security Concerns
Archie and Lilibet have now visited another school in the area for a taster session
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have relocated their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to a different school in the UK just two days into the new academic year. This decision was made following concerns raised by the family's security team regarding the safety of transporting the children to and from school. The move occurred after the children spent only two days at their initial school.
The couple's spokesperson stated that the decision was made to address the practical aspects of the children's current arrangements, but emphasized that it is not a reflection on the school or the care provided there. Archie and Lilibet have since had a taster session at the new school. The sudden change in schools comes amid ongoing security concerns for the Sussexes as they return to the UK.
Security has been a significant issue for the couple since they stepped back from their royal duties. Harry has been pushing for adjustments to his security arrangements, a battle that ultimately ended with a defeat in the Court of Appeal in 2025. Meghan has also received her first government-backed security review since stepping down from royal duties in 2020.
The Royal and VIP Executive Committee is currently reviewing the family's circumstances, including daily routines and school arrangements. The latest school move underscores the importance of security considerations in the Sussexes' lives in Britain, even as they adapt to their new routine.
