- A family spokesman said the decision followed talks with the couple’s private security team and came after Archie and Lilibet had been at the school for only two days, the move was confirmed on Monday.
- Reports cite heavy traffic and convoy logistics as the core practical problem that made the school run operationally insecure for the Sussexes’ small protection detail.
- The Royal and VIP Executive Committee has commissioned formal risk assessments for Harry and for Meghan, with authorities asking the couple to share daily routines and travel patterns as part of the review.
- Buckingham Palace has reiterated that the couple remain private, non‑working royals, a status that does not automatically restore entitlement to taxpayer‑funded police protection.
- The change will disrupt family routines and keeps open questions about who will fund on‑the‑ground security, while British brands and the media reassess how to engage with the couple now they live in the UK.
