Harry and Meghan face renewed concerns over children’s security in UK

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are facing renewed concerns over their children's security after photographers were reported near the school attended by Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in England.

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are facing renewed concerns over their children’s security after photographers were reported near the school attended by Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in England.

Two men were seen walking around the perimeter of the children’s school and looking into its grounds in late September, prompting concerns from the couple. A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan described the behaviour as “extraordinarily reckless”, while police investigated the incident.

The incident came weeks after the couple moved their children to a different school in Britain because of security concerns about the arrangements at their previous school. The family returned to the UK from California in August.

Australian magazine Woman’s Day reported that the incident had added to tensions surrounding the family’s security. It quoted an unnamed source as saying Harry wanted the family to remain patient while the situation was addressed. These claims have not been independently verified.

The couple have not publicly detailed how long they intend to remain in Britain. A source previously told ABC News that they planned to stay for an “extended period of time” but had not settled on a specific timeframe.

The family had moved from Canada to California in 2020 after stepping back from their roles as senior working members of the British royal family. Their latest return to the UK has renewed attention on their children’s privacy and the security arrangements available to them.
