Parents at the UK prep school where Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are enrolled have reportedly been warned about photographing other students, according to Page Six. The guidance allegedly came after Meghan Markle’s phone number leaked in a parents’WhatsApp chat. Parents at nearby schools were also told to only photograph their own children when competing against the Sussex kids’school, which is a lot of coordination for a Saturday soccer match.
One parent didn’t hold back, calling the warnings“complete overkill”and“totally unnecessary,”adding that everyone already knows the boundaries. The timing is interesting too. Harry and Meghan moved back to the UK last month, enrolled Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, then pulled them from the school just two days into term, citing traffic strains on their limited security team.
So where does that leave things? Privacy for famous kids is a real conversation, and so is the question of how much a school should bend for one family. Parents everywhere deal with group chats, photo policies, and school-gate etiquette. This one just happens to come with a royal headline.
What do you think: are these warnings protecting kids or going way too far? Sound off in the comments.
