Quick Summary

On Thursday, Prince William and Kate visited the Isle of Bute in Scotland, engaging in a traditional Gaelic sport called shinty despite rainy weather. Meanwhile, in London, Prince Harry attended an awards ceremony for his Invictus Games without commenting on recent controversies involving Earl Spencer's book. Both princes were on official royal duties but appeared to be handling their engagements differently; William and Kate participated in environmental activities, while Harry interacted warmly with wounded veterans at the event.

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).
