Prince Harry and Meghan pull Archie and Lilibet out of new British school

The Mercury News first reported on September 14 that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle abruptly removed their children, Archie and Lilibet, from a newly‑started British school, doing so just days after the term began and citing a fresh security bid. The couple framed the action as a precaution pending reassessment of protective arrangements. Subsequent coverage added detail. ABC News described the situation as a security‑driven school change, while HELLO!

Magazine highlighted that the switch occurred only a few days into the academic year. Both ABC and HELLO! noted that the decision came amid heightened concern for the children’s safety, and the Guardian indicated that the security review could affect future public engagements. The Guardian later confirmed that, following their return to the UK, the Duke and Duchess were granted a formal security review, and Page Six reiterated that the siblings were pulled from class. While all outlets agree the children have been taken out of school, phrasing differs: Mercury News emphasizes an abrupt removal, whereas the Guardian focuses on a formal security review.

No outlet reported a conflicting timeline. As of the latest reports, the siblings remain unenrolled while security considerations are addressed. The latest statements do not specify when or where the children will resume schooling, leaving the family’s educational plans open.
