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.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
