Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to enrol their children, Archie and Lilibet, at a private school in the Cotswolds has reignited concerns over their ability to protect the family's privacy in the UK. According to royal commentator Kinsey Schofield, parents at schools the couple approached received letters reminding them of privacy rules regarding high-profile families, highlighting how school life introduces variables the Sussexes cannot easily control, unlike more curated public appearances.

The couple, along with Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, left their Montecito home last week for an extended stay in Britain, with reports suggesting they plan to settle in the Cotswolds. Schofield told Page Six the letters urged parents and carers not to photograph or film other children without permission or share details of pupils and their families online, in order to preserve a "safe, happy, and private environment". She noted the reminders were likely standard practice but said the scale of interest in Harry and Meghan means other families are effectively being asked to adjust their behaviour, given school introduces uncontrollable factors such as other parents' phones, playground friendships and various school events.
