Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly planning to handle school drop offs and pickups for Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, after returning to the UK without taxpayer funded security. A source told The Telegraph that the family’s daily school routine represents the couple’s biggest security concern. The children’s school has not been publicly identified, but staff were reportedly informed about Archie and Lilibet’s expected attendance. The Telegraph also reported that new procedures were put in place and teachers received specialized training ahead of the children’s arrival. Why Are School Runs a Security Flashpoint? Harry and Meghan are waiting for the UK Home Office to decide whether they can receive long term police protection while in the country. Harry lost automatic security coverage after stepping back from royal duties in 2020, and a July risk assessment has reportedly been completed without a public answer about whether Meghan and the children were included. Scott Hamer, a former Metropolitan Police royalty protection officer, told The Telegraph that Harry’s status as a non working royal should not determine the outcome. Hamer said any credible threat to Harry’s family should be assessed objectively, with state protection provided if officials determine that a genuine risk exists.
