Prince Harry gave an update on how Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are settling in at school.
“The kids are happy at school,” the royal said in an interview with CTV on September 25, adding that “it’s been great to be back on British soil.”
Earlier this month, Harry said essentially the same thing at a charity event to promote the Invictus Games.
“We’re stuck in work. The kids are at school. We’re happy,” Harry told Hello! magazine at the Invictus Spirit Gala Dinner and Awards in London as he reflected on the family’s “hectic” past two weeks since their return to the UK.
At another event, the prince said the family had taken many walks and the children had enjoyed marmite on crumpets.
Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, were removed from their first school just two days into the year because heavy traffic was straining their security team.
“The decision to move the children’s school was made following a discussion with the family’s security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements,” a representative for the couple told Hello! at the time.
“Parents remain extremely grateful to all teachers and staff for the love, care and efforts they have shown their families,” the representative continued.
The representative added: “This decision should in no way be construed as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children received there. »
According to the media, the family lives too far from the school, which makes travel impractical and dangerous.
A close source said Harry, 42, and Markle, 45, completed safety checks before the start of the school year, but were unable to test how the school was operating before the start of the school year.
“It’s really a shame, because they loved the school, the children and their parents,” a source close to the couple told the media.
“It was perfect for them in every way and the children really enjoyed their time there. They really wanted it to work, but they had to make a difficult decision because the team could not keep the school operationally safe.”
Parents at the school where Archie and Lilibet attend were reportedly given an “excessive” warning about “the importance of only taking photos of your own children”, while Markle’s phone number was leaked via a parent’s WhatsApp chat.
The couple surprised royal watchers by announcing they were returning to the UK after several years living in Montecito, California.
The decision also reportedly shocked the children’s former school in Santa Barbara, California, because the couple allegedly did not let teachers know they would not be re-enrolling them for this school year.
King Charles III issued a letter after the move, emphasizing that his son and daughter-in-law are “private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.”
