It hasn’t been smooth sailing for Prince Harryand Meghan Markle since landing back in the UK.
From reports of things getting ‘heated’ with King Charles, to rumours that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are working on a Diana documentary much to the chagrin of Prince William, the couple have steadily dominated headlines since their August return.
And now it’s Harry and Meghan’s children, Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, being affected with reports the couple had to pull their kids out of the school they had been enrolled in due to security fears.

A spokesman for the Duke and Duchess told HELLO! that the decision should not be interpreted as a reflection of the school in question.
“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,” the spokesman said.
“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.”
A source went on to tell the publication that the family had to make a “difficult decision” based on the fact that “the team couldn’t make the school run operationally secure.”
“It’s a real shame, because they absolutely adored the school, the kids and their parents,” the source said.
Security woes have been following the Sussexes’ back since Harry’s first return to the UK in July.
As Woman’s Day reported at the time, a confidential security assessment prepared by a private US security company hired by Harry and Meghan has painted an alarming picture of the risks facing the prince, alleging multiple credible threats against his safety, with the majority of them reportedly originating in Britain.
The document states that Prince Harry faces six terrorist plots against him, with five originating within the UK and one threat specifically calling for Harry’s assassination.
Alongside the terror plots, the Metropolitan Police records indicate awareness of nearly 500 potential stalkers targeting the Royal Family, with hundreds of those having demonstrated threats against Harry, Meghan, and their children Archie and Lilibet.
