I have said it previously. HAM will absolutely use their children to get what they want. They hope KC will step in and sort security (the bells and whistles) because as a grandfather he will worry about them

Each instance like this is bringing the end of it all closer. They and the RF can’t go on like this.

He can’t though. It’s not up to him, it’s up to RAVEC. They really think he’s an absolute monarch 🙄

This is absolutely crazy ! They only had to ask the school and a few parents ‘how’s the traffic at drop off and pick up’ 😀 and plan accordingly,

I think a poster on one of the other threads who had a strong idea of what school it was, already mentioned the traffic congestion.

A jam she can't make money from, as ever

....sorry.

Why have H&M chosen to proactively brief the general public about the logistics of their childrens school run to compromise their privacy and security?

What do H&M believe the general public need to know about their childrens morning routine and why? It’s bizarre that they want total media black out on where they live and where they go to school - but then choose to issue these specific details? Make it make sense…..

This is despite security checks being performed by bodyguards for the Sussexes in the summer - which did not include an assessment of the commute until the first day of the school term.

Seriously?

I know lots of posters don’t approve of Enty gossip so scroll past

“ The kids never went to that new school. Not even for five minutes. Now, it could be just someone messing with the system, but Laurel Springs School which is arguably the best online private school in California does have two Mountbatten-Windsor children registered. No way of knowing if they have been attending because you do it on your own time and it is a rolling start process.“

urgh just quietly change your child's school and get on with it, no one needs to know....oh wait, the king and ravec need to know its SO unsafe in gun free UK.
You fucking chose to come back you pair of fucking eejits.
safe, not safe, safe, not safe - make a decision.

BillyBites · Yesterday 21:37

A fucking CONVOY of security vehicles? And they have the cheek to complain about traffic congestion?
Words fail me.

I know but Harry doesn't know that. He said as much in that awful BBC interview

BillyBites · Yesterday 21:39

I believe the Prince Philip used to drive around central London, perfectly incognito, in a taxi cab. They should stick those kids in a Ford Focus with tinted windows. No one would be expecting that.

PrivateCitizenTooDimforDiplomacy · Yesterday 21:40

Have they made arrangements with another school at a moment’s notice? How can this be? How many schools have two places available and can accept the children just like that?

Seriously wondering if it’s a flat lie.

Some discussion on X that they aren’t living at the Wace place but just dropped hints as a sort of decoy plan, with photos taken on a previous visit, laying a false trail. On the one hand this wouldn’t surprise me, Meghan especially likes to play silly games with her hints and red herrings. On the other hand exposing Wace to so much unwelcome publicity is another level of outrageous behaviour - I can’t imagine he would have happily agreed to it.

Still… If they set up the Wace photos to mislead then it would seem entirely likely they also made up a totally false school run story. Who knows. They don’t operate like normal people so normal standards don’t apply.

Those poor children must feel so unsettled with the sudden change of countries, no friends or family, and parents as ever angrily glued to their phones and reacting to media reports 24/7.

Starryfifty · Yesterday 21:41

I wonder where they ever on a school in UK at all? You can pull a kid out of school and straight into another one

I look away for a few minutes and you are onto page 3 of a new thread!

They could purchase a bullet proof car ? Would work out much cheaper than a ridiculous convoy

Usernameinabeyance · Yesterday 21:43

Or did the conversation with the head of the ox prep or wherever go like this:

HaM: "we had to queue for 45 minutes at roadworks you need to send a chauffeur for the children or alter the route for us or move the school nearer"
Head: "we do have boarding as an option, we have no jurisdiction over civil infrastructure planning unfortunately"
HaM: "this is absurd, you will hear from Sussex Royal Legals" <flounce>
Head: 🤦‍♀️

Who signs their kids up to school without considering the practicalities of the school run itself?

Catching up. Harry's security team seem as competent as his PR. It's hardly going to increase the credibility of their "security report" when it turns out it was prepared by a company who are surprised to find that traffic increases during term time.

Catherine stuck in traffic on the Kings road, no convoy, no outriders, waiting patiently for the traffic to move.

Harry and Meghan would do well for,themselves and their little kids to follow the example of William and Catherine.

Thanks for posting these - I'd been thinking that I was sure I'd seen media reports of Catherine driving apparently alone in an SUV doing the school run. How can she manage it but HAM need a convoy? Surely that actually creates more risk through being separated, two vehicles to keep an eye on etc.

It's all very unsettling for the kids who have had enough disruption already. Reminds me of the dash to be with the dying late Queen - Catherine didn't go, in spite of having been a family member for years, because the kids were starting school and she stayed at home to keep things stable for them. It's a mindset totally lacking in HAM's decisions.
