Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were forced to take immediate action in order to protect their two children as they received clear warning about security.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet had only started their school in the UK, but just two days into the new term, the children had to switch schools.
“The decision for the children to move school was taken following a discussion with the family’s security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements,” a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess clarified issued a statement on the matter.
“The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they have shown their family. This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there.”
According to a report by Hello! magazine, the security concerns were due to the heavy traffic that the children would have to face in their commute from home to school. It was more of a matter about logistics as it would be “difficult for their vehicles to stay in convoy”.
Moreover, a friend told the outlet that it was a “real shame” because not only Harry and Meghan but Archie and Lilibet absolutely loved the school.
“They really wanted to make it work, but they had to make a difficult decision based on the fact that the team couldn’t make the school run operationally secure,” the source said.
Meanwhile, there is still an ongoing security review underway for the Sussexes which will determine if they would get police protection or not.
