Harry and Meghan’s Children Settle in UK After Security-Driven School Change

Overview

• Harry and Meghan moved their family from Montecito back to a private estate near London in August 2026 and have enrolled Archie (7) and Lilibet (5) in British day schools.
• The children left their initially chosen nearby school after two days following an operational safety review by the family’s private security team.
• A spokesperson and recent interviews with Harry say the decision was prompted by commute risks identified by security staff, not by problems at the first school.
• Harry says the children have adapted well, helped by playdates, proximity to friends and family, and the chance to experience British schooling and places from his youth.
• The family keeps exact home and school details confidential for safety, and reports say a moment when their security convoy became separated increased concern during the early school commute.
