Prince Harry and Meghan doing school run is their 'biggest security concern'

Prince Harry and Meghan doing school run is their 'biggest security concern' Prince Harry and Meghan's children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are understood to be starting at their new school in the UK this week after the Sussexes moved back to Britain Prince Harry and Meghan’s biggest concern regarding their security while back in the UK is doing the school run, it has been claimed. The Sussexes moved back to Britain at the end of last month with their children Prince Archie, 7, and five-year-old Princess Lilibet, who are understood to be starting at a new prep school in the country this week. Many questions remain unanswered about the move, including whether taxpayers will end up footing the bill for their security. They currently have private security that they pay for. Harry lost a legal battle last year to automatically get police protection whenever he or his family is in the UK - and is currently lobbying the Home Office for a review of his case, given his family are now living in the country. And according to The Telegraph, it is the school run that will present the biggest security challenge to the Sussexes, given it involves travelling to and from the same place every day at similar times. The couple are believed to want to do the school run themselves but do not plan to publicly name where their children are being educated. A friend of theirs told the publication: “It is absolutely the biggest area of concern. It creates the most dangers.” Meanwhile, in an interview with The Cut in 2022, Meghan talked about her fears of sending her children to school in the UK, claiming paparazzi would swarm her at the school gates. She said: "Sorry, I have a problem with that. That doesn’t make me obsessed with privacy. That makes me a strong and good parent protecting my child.” Prime Minister Andy Burnham would previously not be drawn on Harry and Meghan’s security arrangements in the UK, saying the funding for it was a “private matter”. Harry previously insisted it was too dangerous to bring his wife and children to the UK with the security he was entitled to post-Megxit. It comes as royal expert Jennie Bond said Harry may not understand the public’s strong reaction to his quest for taxpayer-funded security while in the UK. Many are against it, due to the couple not being working members of the Royal Family. And former BBC royal correspondent Jennie told the Mirror: “I suppose the problem is that the longer he and his family stay here with no taxpayer-funded security, the weaker his case may seem. And the public will take note of that. “However, things could change in an instant if Harry or his family were targeted. And there’s no denying that his risk level — given his high profile and military background — must be significant. “I’m not sure that Harry does understand the public antipathy to funding his security. Arriving in the UK in a plush private jet did not do his image any good. Yes, he needs security. Yes, he has offered to pay, but the Metropolitan Police cannot be ‘hired’. And yes, he feels he needs armed protection, which his private bodyguards cannot provide in the UK. “But if he can afford a jet - or friends who will lend him one - then I understand that many people will feel he can afford to pay for a pretty substantial level of private security, even if without guns. So he doesn’t do himself any favours.” But she added: “Having said that, I personally believe he does deserve a moderate level of taxpayer-funded security. Simply having a number to ring in an emergency does not seem sufficient. “I also think there must be some way in which either he or the King could contribute to the public purse in place of some of the taxes which might go towards Harry’s security. It surely can’t be rocket science?”
