Harry and Meghan pull Archie and Lilibet out of new British school
Key Points:
- Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are withdrawing their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, from their new school in Britain due to ongoing security concerns shortly after starting there.
- The family moved back to the UK last month after six years in the United States, and the decision to change schools was made following discussions with their security team about logistical challenges.
- Sources indicate the issue is not with the school itself but with difficulties during school drop-off and pick-up, compounded by heavy local traffic affecting the Sussex security convoy.
- Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the couple has lost taxpayer-funded security and now relies on a small private firm, which has been strained since their return to the UK.
- The children are expected to enroll in another nearby school soon, and the Sussex family is anticipated to receive an official risk assessment in the near future.
