Harry and Meghan pull Archie and Lilibet from school after just two days over Cotswolds security fears

From the Newshound archive · first published 19 September 2026.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have switched their children to a new school less than a week after the family relocated to the UK, with a spokesperson confirming the decision followed an emergency discussion with their security team. Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, had only just enrolled at their original school when heavy rush-hour traffic on the Cotswolds commute left the security convoy dangerously exposed on public roads. The location of the family's home and the names of both schools remain undisclosed.

Kay Burley pointed out the 'obvious' flaw, posting: 'Did nobody think about any of this before term started?'

The school switch comes as the Ravec security committee is still conducting a full threat assessment for both Harry and Meghan following their return to Britain as private citizens.

Critics are furious that British taxpayers could be asked to fund security for a couple who spent years publicly attacking the Royal Family before moving back and demanding protection.
