Prince Harry's children move school over security concern
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children have changed schools after only two days due to security concerns regarding the commute. The couple, who recently returned to the UK, stated the decision was made following consultations with their security team.
Why it matters
The incident underscores the ongoing security and privacy challenges faced by high-profile public figures and the complexities of the couple's relationship with the British establishment.
The children of Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are to swap schools after just two days because of concerns over the security of transporting them, the couple's spokesperson said.
Last month, Harry, the younger son of King Charles, and his family relocated to Britain after six years of living in California, with Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, starting school in September.
The location of their new home and details of the school have been kept private.
However, a spokesperson for the couple confirmed reports that Archie and Lilibet were changing schools after just two days.
The distance between their home and the original school, with heavy traffic in the area, had caused concern for their security team.
"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," the spokesperson said.
