Prince Harry, Meghan move children to new UK school over security concerns

LONDON, September 15 — Prince Harry and Meghan relocated their children to a new UK school due to security concerns, just weeks after the start of the academic year, according to British media reports on Monday. The couple left the royal family in 2020 amid a family dispute and Harry pursued a lengthy legal fight to retain UK taxpayer-funded security while residing in California.

Upon returning to Britain with their seven-year-old son, Archie, and five-year-old daughter, Lilibet, Harry has reportedly been advocating for the reinstatement of police protection. The family now resides in the Cotswolds, a popular area in central England, and both children have been enrolled in an undisclosed private school. According to Hello! magazine, the distance to the school and heavy traffic on the route raised security issues.

A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex informed Hello! that the decision was made following a discussion with the family's security team. The magazine's attempt to reach Harry and Meghan's team for comment on Monday was unsuccessful. Harry and his family are currently relying on private security guards, but the prince has requested government intervention to provide police protection for him and his family.

The Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec), responsible for the protection of public and royal figures in Britain, met last week to assess the threats faced by Harry and Meghan's family. BBC reported that King Charles III has stated that Harry and Meghan are no longer considered "working members of the royal family" after their return to Britain from the United States.
