Prince Harry and Meghan change children's school due to security
Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have decided to change the school for their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, due to security concerns. The decision follows the family's recent move from California to a private residence near London.
A spokesperson stated that the change was made after discussions with the family's security team regarding the practicalities of their current arrangements. The primary issues cited were the distance to the school and heavy traffic during daily commutes, which created logistical vulnerabilities. Specifically, reports indicated that the travel route made it difficult for the private security detail to maintain a secure convoy, at one point resulting in a vehicle separation incident.
The couple issued a statement clarifying that the decision is not a reflection of the school or the quality of care provided to the children, but is strictly related to operational security. This development comes as the family awaits a government review regarding the level of security protection they are entitled to while residing in the United Kingdom.
