Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has reportedly had her mobile phone number shared among parents at the school she and Prince Harry briefly enrolled their children in, adding to a string of security concerns for the couple. Screenshots from a "Year 3" WhatsApp group Meghan joined, apparently including her introducing herself to fellow parents, are said to be circulating online, which sources close to the couple described as disappointing. The leak emerged shortly after Harry and Meghan withdrew Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from the school after just two days, citing security fears over the busy commute.

The couple's protection team reportedly warned that the roughly 35-minute drive was taking up to an hour during rush hour, with one convoy said to have become separated, leaving the children vulnerable in stationary traffic. Friends stressed the withdrawal was not about the school itself, and the children have already had taster sessions at a new school with a shorter, more manageable journey. The episode has prompted criticism from security experts and a Labour MP, who questioned why the route wasn't properly assessed beforehand and noted the family has reportedly been without formal UK police protection since their return.
