Parents in the vicinity of a UK school where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children are set to enroll have reportedly received warning letters detailing new privacy regulations. Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told Page Six that officials at the unnamed private school informed families that some new students may attract significant public and media attention.
The letters emphasized the school's commitment to maintaining a secure, happy, and private environment for all children. Parents were reminded not to photograph or film other students without permission and to refrain from sharing any information or images about pupils or their families on social media.
Schofield indicated that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had explored several schools prior to their relocation back to the UK. Harry and Meghan, along with their children Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, recently moved from their Montecito, California, estate to England for what is described as an "extended period."
Sources suggested that Harry's desire for his children to be closer to his father, King Charles III, who announced his cancer diagnosis in early 2024, was a motivating factor for the move. Additionally, Harry reportedly wishes for Archie and Lilibet to develop relationships with other members of the royal family.
Previously, Harry and Markle had been house-hunting in the Cotswolds, a region known for attracting notable residents and close to King Charles III's Highgrove House residence. The move to the UK also comes as Prince William's eldest son, Prince George, is expected to begin his studies at Eton College. While Prince William and his family reside in Windsor, the geographical proximity to the Cotswolds could facilitate some level of familial connection, though ongoing tensions between the brothers make a reunion of the children unlikely. Relations between Harry and his father, King Charles III, are said to be thawing.
