Quick Summary

Meghan wished Harry a happy birthday as reports emerged that their children have switched to a new school due to logistical issues affecting the family’s security team. The Sussexes are reportedly awaiting an official risk assessment regarding their security needs following their return to the UK, which was discussed at a recent meeting of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec). A spokesperson clarified that the decision to change schools is not a reflection on the previous educational institution but rather a practical adjustment based on current arrangements.

Story summary

In September 2026, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan moved their children, Prince Archie (aged seven) and Princess Lilibet (five), to a new school in Britain after just two days due to security concerns. The couple's spokesperson cited heavy traffic between their home and the original school as the reason for the move. This decision came shortly after Harry and Meghan returned to Britain from California, where they had lived for six years. Additionally, the family's publicly-funded security is currently being reviewed by a government committee known as Ravec (the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures).
