Harry and Meghan switch children’s school just days into term
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have moved their children to a new school, citing security concerns and logistical practicalities. This follows reports that the couple is undergoing a government-backed security risk assessment for their UK visits.
Why it matters
The security arrangements for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain a high-profile point of contention between the couple and the UK government.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex , Prince Harry and Meghan, have decided to move schools for their children just days into the start of the new academic year, citing security practicalities.
"The decision for the children to move school was taken following a discussion with the family's security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements," a spokesman for the Duke and Duchess said in a statement to CNN on Monday, after the news was first reported by HELLO! Magazine.
"The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they have shown their family. This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there," the statement added.
