Prince Harry has reportedly moved his children to a different school after concerns arose that he “couldn’t ignore,” according to a source. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex allegedly withdrew their children from their new UK school just two days after the term began. Reports suggest the children have since been enrolled at another institute.
Source suggests Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly worried about warnings that kids’ ‘safety was being endangered’
According to RadarOnline.com, heavy traffic and the logistical difficulties of traveling in a security convoy reportedly made the children’s original school run impractical. There were allegedly concerns that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet could become “sitting ducks” for potential attacks or kidnapping attempts. The reported decision came as the Sussexes faced a government-backed review of their security arrangements.
“This wasn’t a case of Harry and Meghan suddenly deciding they disliked the school or getting panicked,” a source said.
It added, “They were very happy with what they had seen and believed Archie and Lilibet could have settled there. The problem emerged when the security team began looking at what the journey would actually involve every morning and afternoon, and there were warnings that the child’s safety was genuinely being endangered, as they were considered sitting ducks for potential terror or kidnap plots.”
The source continued: “A school run sounds straightforward for most families, but their circumstances are obviously unusual. The traffic created points where vehicles could become stuck or separated and made it much harder for the protection team to control the journey in the way they wanted. Once those concerns were spelled out, Harry and Meghan felt they couldn’t simply ignore them.”
A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan Markle said the couple decided to change schools after discussing the “practicalities of their current arrangements” with their security advisers. The spokesperson added that the parents remained “extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they have shown their family.” They also stressed that the decision was not intended as criticism of the school or the care their children received.
