Have Harry and Meghan announced their children’s school choice yet?

[PlumCat23]

Has HAMs school choice been announced yet? Moneys not on Lambrook!
Would parents of said school need to be informed? Or because they are no longer working royals would they not need to announce?
Will they go state or private? Can they afford the top private schools now? I gather the state won't pay for their kids education?

I’m with you, Cathy.

I don’t believe a word they leak any more.

Shitty of them to dump this issue on their security team, too.

Ah ... I have literally had a day's notice. The admissions process is ongoing wjen they enter: Contact school, paper work transfer etc.

People would see them and snap them and then sell the photos to the DM. It’s highly unlikely they would be able to just disappear unless they lived a very secluded life.

My point is that we would still know they were here because people would take photos and sell them to the DM who would find an angle.

I also think there is more to this than meets the eye.

I don’t believe the stories of schools and convoys and attendance and then pulling them from school.

It needs to be filed with the other varying recollections.

Well if it is the school everyone thinks it is: I beleive it. It was a fairly crazy choice.

I think I know very little about them. I think you know very little about them too.

It’s more likely they’ll have issues with foreign press than Uk press, even the daily mail with phone photos.

On holiday I saw photos of Louis and his Nanny at the natural history museum in a magazine. Obviously taken with a mobile phone. No British publication would publish photos like that.

Oh yeah they are awful. I saw Beatrice and her daughter on the cover of s German magazine.

How’s that all working out for them?

my comments were in answer to this question:

Would we even know these people left California without them telling us their every move?

I think - yes - we would because they would be spotted, photographed and even if you are right and newspapers didn’t buy the photos, news would spread.

People might take a photo and try to sell them to the DM , but if it contravened the IPSO code, or revealed where they lived or the children's schools , or indeed photos revealing the children the DM would either not buy them or not publish them. As others have said - H&M are far more likely to have a foreign newspaper or magazine publish those photos.

Fair play - yes there is a grapevine. Sorry. I do agree outside the MSM , news might very well leak , possibly not as quickly if they didn't announce/ leak it but yes you are right eventually the news might spread. Apologies for misunderstanding.

It’s like a lot of posters here are oblivious to the post-Leveson press landscape.

… and to the fact that Harry leaks directly to journalists by partying with them and having them on his Sussex PR WhatsApp group, and has done for decades, including leaking and planting stories with the media outlets that he’s sued.

The Mail/ANL spent approx £38m seeing off every single one of Harry & Co’s allegations - allegations that they had no evidence for, just ‘feelings’ about.

Now the UK is being pressured into providing armed security to Harry on the basis of ‘feelings’. Fortunately, RAVEC analyses risk not ‘feelings’; and quite right too. I don’t know if RAVEC looks at the area of ‘contributory negligence’? I wonder if perhaps they have already offered advice that is being ignored. It’s all coming across as a mess of Harry’s own making. As ever.

I think you may have spent more time thinking about me than I have them today.

“You are too involved.”

Maybe, but the way that we know is that they told us.

So A and L must have been up to half an hour late for school too if the hour commute each way is correct. I know the area. What is so special about a town based school there for them? It’s surrounded by main roads and river. I imagine they’d be better off in a rural large school and taking them earlier than school run like breakfast club and picking up at a random time to start with when others aren’t there.

So not a single person in the entire Sussex entourage knows of the concept of school drop-off traffic?

Not a single person in their multi-million pound Security and PR teams, not a single housekeeper or personal assistant, not a single friend or acquaintance, had any thought to tell them regarding the locale’s rush hour?

The sheer bollocks of it is comedy gold.

Come on give the staff come credit.

You can't blame them for the bosses being clueless and thinking they know best.

Perhaps if I phrase it that you may be a bit over passionate about them?

You are attributing emotions to me that I’m not experiencing.

But I do enjoy your attention, actually. ❤️

It hasn't apparently.

I am not a fan of them or the royal family. I’m indifferent. But I do feel I need to say that as a doctorate level educated woman, I always forget to leave the extra time on my first commune of the new academic year. Without fail. I’m not stupid. I just don’t remember to factor it in. And I’m not new to the area. It’s not a new route. I’ve been doing it for years! May be the embarrassment of reading your post and recognising my own mistake will mean I remember next year!

It’s hard to blame any of them. Harry surely never had to think about traffic and travel routes as a working Royal. Meghan hardly lived in UK and is likely clueless about how driving a few miles can take an hour or more.

Their security detail is American, I think, too.
(Having an American security team seems like a major mistake to me, though.)

But Harry and Meghan had no good reason to make any announcement about the security or the school at all. They’ve made themselves and their team appear inept.
