Breaking news in the Daily Mail. Duke and Duchess of Sussex's children 'removed from school after two days' mol.im/a/16130877 via https://dailym.ai/android

I do wonder if there is actually any school that will be able to meet their expectations in regard to security. I'm interested to see how it all plays out.

What is the new one I wonder.

Any Gos?

This decision makes them look like idiots. I don’t think it would be remotely beneficial to their security fight.

@blanketsnuggler quite a few posh and or super rich cotswolds dc go to state schools. No one takes any notice at all, unless they do drop off in the Lambo which is quite noisy

No idea why they keep announcing their private business and that of their dc. This is personal safety and security 101.

Did they accompany their dc to school, or too scared to get in the car? Did they sit at home, knowing their dc were off to a strange school, no US accents, all different and not think for a second they have nothing to do except support their dc. They dont even have to work.

I am the most Anti-royalist person going, but even I struggle to comprehend the vitriol aimed at this couple.

Amazing how easily the DM manipulates public opinion. And I repeat , I'm totally anti monarchy but I really couldn't get any more worked up about this pair than any of the others. People rage about them as if they've been affected personally by their choices. Bizarre.

Isn't it?

And the many people here denying the verifiable fact that the RF board is full of threads that get to 1000 posts in no time flat, with almost every single.poster on them spitting bile about the Sussexes. There are serial threads, with a clique of posters who seem to have nothing better to do with their time than indulge in spluttering, apoplectic, hate-filled rage at two people whose lives have no relevance to theirs whatsoever.

The vulnerability of the British mind to the DM is quite extraordinary to see.

I couldn’t agree more mathanxiety

There’s clearly something more complicated going on that we’re not aware of. Hard to say what’s truly unavoidable or impossible for the kind of people who live these unbelievably wealthy lives. Normally if they are determined to make something happen, it is made to happen for them.

I feel sorry for the kids whose needs like all kids will just be for as much stability as possible and a decent local school to go to. Especially right after moving continents.

So I hope that everything is ok. With the family’s financial means, they could move house if all it is, is the school journey is terrible? The Sussex announcement said they’d moved back to the UK for the kids for a UK education, so presumably that’s still their priority.

So did the DM force them to go on Oprah or write "Spare" or go on Netflix?! It's not the DM's fault their behaviour is utterly idiotic and repulsive to the general public.

Having said all this, there are many children of politically exposed people (PEPs) in English schools, many Royal children, many children of billionaires and celebrities. If they can go to school, there's absolutely nothing that makes H&M's children more "at risk" than any of these other children. It's just another stupid publicity stunt.

I am heartily sick of the two of them and their games

Games? Have you heard yourself?! I’m getting mightily sick of this trend of ‘hating Harry & Meghan because they dared to leave the UK’ YAWN!

Do you really think people don’t like them because they left the UK? As in, some sort of rejection?

The biggest risk to these children’s security is their bloody parents and their shenanigans

I absolutely agree. I feel sorry for them. They either should have been kept away from the public eye or introduced properly. This filming them from behind feels intrusive.

I think they should just drop them off at school like other parents do. There'd be a bit of a fuss and excitement at first then it'd all settle. They've already withheld permission for the press to show their faces, right?
Plenty of celebs manage it.
Plus royalty in Scandinavia (or Iceland at least) go out and about with no fuss in public. Just do it and then it becomes normal.

Well, yeah. I encountered Princess Diana in the newsagent's. No burly geezers of any description present, just me, the shop lady and the princess. Other people also met her in normal places. I'm sure most members of today's royal family can be found doing everyday things in ordinary places with minimal or no personal guards.

Do you think Meghan and/or Harry have veered over the edge into pathologically obsessed with security? Or maybe they see it as symbolic of their importance. I dunno.

If you were to ask, I can pretty much guarantee that 90% of people on the bandwagon would only be able to give them ‘leaving the UK’ as a reason.

ok… I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single post indicating this but sure.

Unless you think the MN ‘LTB’ means they ‘left, those bastards

Really? So not their many interviews and the literally masterpiece that is "Spare"?

They cant hire armed security in the UK.
It has to be done through the correct channels, ie: the department that deals with Royal protection. Only working royals qualify for protection which H&M are not.
Unless KC intervenes, I assume

They don’t need armed security. The number of times when a gun has been pulled to protect a royal is negligible. What they need is competent security, and there are plenty of retired government security people able to offer just that. The King can’t intervene, it’s a government decision based on risk and available resources. He could pay for it if he wanted, he doesn’t want to and I don’t blame him.

Nobody cares about their DC enough for them to be a worthwhile target. Their proximity to the King is literally the only thing that makes them vulnerable. IMHO the best thing the King could do to protect their security is keep a very big distance from them.

GarlicSomething · Yesterday 05:43

I posted before reading the Mail article. Apparently the trip to school was vetoed by their security advisers as it was 'difficult'. The kids are now in another local school.

God knows why the advisers hadn't checked out the route beforehand - perhaps H&M neglected to tell them of their move?

Oh, well 🤷‍♀️

Exactly. I've long thought that harry acts like he was Diana's only child. It must be very hurtful for William to see his brother monopolise her memory in this way. He doesn't seem to exist in harrys version of events. Its bizarre.

It’s very odd , isn’t it .

That tragic event that binds them so closely together is the thing that’s driven a wedge between them.

William chose his life partner wisely.
Harry did not.

2Rebecca · Yesterday 05:48

I don’t understand why whatever security arrangements they had in the US can’t be used in the UK which is a safer country or home school but then the kids have few opportunities to make friends

piscofrisco · Yesterday 05:51

I mean, they can afford someone to take the kids to school and sit, unobtrusively, outside all day if needed surely?
none of this makes any sense.
They Have actually provided loads of information about where they are living themselves via Instagram, (though I guess you’d be forgiven for thinking it was Scotland, not the Cotswolds, as I’m not sure anywhere in the Cotswolds descended to temperatures chilly enough to warrant a huge fire in recent weeks). By contrast you don’t see pictures of the Wales children out and about like this very often-just carefully curated, photo shoots on Kate’s birthday or whatever. She used to do the school run I believe when she was available. Did they not used to live fairly unobtrusively and uninterrupted in Norfolk-albeit with some security nearby. This is all the Sussexes need to do and it wouldn’t be hard to achieve if they wanted to. They have been sensible at least in not showing the kids faces-I’m sure very few people could pick them out of a line up.

Perhaps it would help if the press would stay out of it. Typical Mail.

Morepositivemum · Yesterday 06:08

Easy not to read about them or follow what they do if ye all find them do tiresome- it’s all of you creating the appetite in the papers for more stories! If you all didn’t follow them so much and create threads and comment then their family would just go about their daily business, no furore

savvy7 · Yesterday 06:15

I wish they would return to the US and take their dramas with them. No doubt we the taxpayers will end up funding round the clock security now just because they decided on a whim that their children needed an English education.
