Overview
- The couple withdrew Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from their newly started school after two days following talks with their security team, according to Monday reports.
- Their spokesperson said the move was not a reflection on the school and thanked staff for their care.
- Reports say heavy local traffic, the distance from the family home and difficulties keeping a security convoy together strained the couple’s private protection and drove the decision.
- The Royal and VIP Executive Committee and the Home Office have commissioned fresh risk assessments that will inform whether the Sussexes are granted publicly funded police protection.
- Buckingham Palace has reiterated the Sussexes’ status as private, non-working royals, a stance that limits official support and shapes how the family must manage daily routines and public engagements.
