Prince Harry and Meghan Markle withdrew Archie and Lilibet from their new UK private school after just two days, following a security incident in which the family's protective convoy became separated in heavy term-time traffic. Security experts have questioned why the couple's bodyguards only tested the hour-long school route during the summer holidays, when traffic conditions were far lighter, rather than during term time, with critics suggesting the family's relocation to Britain was rushed and poorly planned.

Former Metropolitan Police officers Dal Babu and Dai Davies both criticised the handling of the move, with Davies questioning whether travelling in convoy with young children was necessary at all and suggesting a lower profile would be safer. Labour MP Mike Tapp noted that, almost three weeks after arriving in the UK, Harry, Meghan and their children still lack formal police protection, calling for an independent review of how such security decisions are made. Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, are now expected to move to a different school closer to their home, which their security team reportedly favours, following a taster visit.
