Harry and Meghan change children's school over security concerns due to traffic

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have changed their children's school only days after they first started over security concerns about traffic during the school run.

It's understood that the security for the children meant travelling with another car, and that driving in convoy proved difficult in the busy school run traffic.

A source close to the couple said: "The decision for the children to move school was taken following a discussion with the family's security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements."

"This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there."

It is understood that the committee which oversees royal and VIP security, known as Ravec, is to reconsider Prince Harry and Meghan's level of police protection now that they and their two children are full-time residents rather than visitors.

The prince previously mounted an unsuccessful legal challenge over his police security when he was visiting from the US.

This committee, which includes representatives of the Home Office, the police and the Royal Household, seems ready to review potential dangers.

The review will include security for their children Archie, aged seven, and Lilibet, aged five, who started school earlier this month but, as first reported by HELLO! magazine, external, the children have switched schools because of a security issue.

It is understood that Prince Harry had a review of his potential risks earlier in the summer, but before it was known that he would be returning to live in the UK.

The duchess posted a birthday message on social media for Harry on Tuesday morning as he turned 42, with a number of pictures of the family.

Meghan also posted footage on Monday of the family at the weekend, showing a family outing in the countryside.
