Quick Summary

Prince Harry spoke at the Invictus Spirit Gala Dinner & Awards in London on Thursday, discussing his family’s recent return to the UK and their children’s move from a prestigious school due to security concerns. The Sussexes removed their kids after just two days because heavy traffic strained their security team's resources; they are now enrolled in a new school but faced further privacy issues when Meghan Markle’s phone number was leaked in a parent WhatsApp group. Harry highlighted the successful fundraising event, which raised over €1.7 million for Invictus, and expressed his happiness at being back on British soil with his family.

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).
