Summary

Harry and Meghan have moved their children to a new school due to concerns raised by their security team regarding the long commute from their current residence. This decision was made after discussions about practical security arrangements, as reported by Hello! magazine. The family remains appreciative of their previous school but is now awaiting official risk assessments following their recent return to the UK, which could determine their eligibility for taxpayer-funded security.

Story summary

The children of Prince Harry and Meghan, Prince Archie (7) and Princess Lilibet (5), are moving to a different school after just two days due to security concerns in London, UK. The couple returned to Britain last month from California, where they lived for six years. Heavy traffic and the long distance between their home and the original school posed significant challenges for Archie and Lilibet's safety, leading to this quick change of plans. A spokesperson confirmed that the decision was made following discussions with the family’s security team about practical arrangements. The couple remains grateful to all staff at the initial school but emphasized that the move should not be seen as a reflection on the institution itself. Meanwhile, a government committee is reviewing Prince Harry and Meghan's publicly-funded security measures now that they are full-time UK residents.

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.
