Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, are moving their two children to a new school in the UK after just two days, reportedly over security concerns surrounding their transportation.
UK media, including The Telegraph and ITV News, reported that Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, had been withdrawn from the school after their first two days.
A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan confirmed the move, saying the decision followed discussions with the family’s security team about the practicalities of transporting the children to and from school.
The security team reportedly raised concerns about the distance between the family’s home and the school, as well as heavy traffic along the route.
The spokesperson said the decision was not a reflection of the school or its staff, adding that the family was grateful for the care provided to the children.
The names of the original and new schools have not been made public.
The family returned to Britain in August after spending about six years living in California. Harry and Meghan are no longer working members of the British Royal Family.
Harry’s security arrangements in the UK have also been subject to ongoing reviews by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC).
