Story summary

As of 2026-09-14, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan’s children, Archie (7) and Lilibet (5), moved to a new school after only two days due to security concerns. The couple's spokesperson confirmed the change because of heavy traffic and distance between their home in Britain and the initial school. This decision reflects ongoing safety issues since the family returned from California last month. Despite moving, they remain non-working royals as agreed with Queen Elizabeth before their departure. The shift underscores the challenges in maintaining security for high-profile families transitioning back to royal life.
