Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet\u2019s first week at their new UK school ended abruptly after only two days. A spokesperson for the couple said they switched schools, mainly because of security issues.
\n\u201cThe decision for the children to move school was taken following a discussion with the family\u2019s security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements,\u201d the spokesperson said.
\n\u201cThe 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,\u201d they added.
\nSky News reported Sunday that the distance to the children\u2019s school, combined with heavy traffic during drop-off and pick-up times, put added pressure on Harry and Meghan\u2019s security team. It was said it took up to an hour round trip.
\nReports also suggest an incident disrupted the couple\u2019s convoy, which was separated during the school run, leaving the cars \u201clike sitting ducks\u201d on the road.
\nOn Tuesday, Archie and Lilibet joined another school in the area for their first lessons.

\n\u201cIt\u2019s a real shame, because they absolutely adored the school, the kids and their parents. It was perfect for them in every way, and the children really enjoyed their time there,\u201d a friend of the Sussexes\u2019 told Hello!
\n\u201cThey really wanted to make it work, but they had to make a difficult decision based on the fact that the team couldn\u2019t make the school run operationally secure.\u201d
\nSocial media erupted after the news became public knowledge. Now, Daily Mail sources have revealed that parents are \u201cbaffled\u201d about their decision to remove the prince and princess from the school, whose location has remained private to respect the family\u2019s security concerns.
\n\u201cParents at the school are completely baffled. You don\u2019t need to be an expert to know how congested that area is. It\u2019s one of the worst places to drive in the UK,\u201d one source said.
\nAnother added: \u201cThis was obviously going to happen.\u201d

\nMeanwhile, former Head of Royal Protection, Dai Davies, questioned why Harry and Meghan needed to bring their two young children to school with a security convoy in the first place.
\n\u201cIf you keep a low profile, most people outside the school wouldn\u2019t know where you are, what they\u2019re doing, and all the rest of it,\u201d he told LBC News.
\n\u201cDo they really need to go in convoy with two little children on the school run? If they only just kept a little quieter, kept a lower profile, they\u2019d be a lot safer in my view.\u201d
