Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are already on their second U.K. school of the term. The two kids, seven and five, were moved to an undisclosed school in the area just days after starting at their original one, according to a Sussex spokesperson. The decision came after discussions with the family’s security team about the practicalities of the existing arrangement.
Reports point to heavy traffic and the distance between the school and the family’s U.K. home, including one incident that made it difficult for private security to stay in convoy. The spokesperson emphasized the move is not a reflection on the first school, and Harry and Meghan reportedly expressed gratitude to its teachers and staff. The Sussexes relocated to the U.K. for an extended period starting in late August.
Harry’s first public engagement back on U.K. soil will be the WellChild Awards on September 21, so expect plenty more headlines as the family settles into this new chapter. Do you think security concerns should ever force a mid-term school switch, or should kids get to stay put?
