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.

It just occurred to me that she might have been playing harry too. The wedding the day before, not showing the newborn to the public, endlessly going on about privacy..Presumably he genuinely cares about these things. But she seems to crave publicity. So maybe she's going along with it because she can then support him and make herself indispensable. I've never felt they were an authentuc match. She seems far too clever for him and he aseems genuinely troubled and in need of help. I duspect the toyal family saw her as a manipulator rarly on and when she realised she'd been rumbled she juat atarted lookjng round for as many things as possible to throw at everybody.

One: he is royal because a peerage conferred by the Crown isn’t lost when you step back from royal duties, as that would take an act of Parliament.

I believe that royal as opposed to non-royal dukes and duchesses hold the highest rank outside of the Monarch?

Amazing how many posters unquestioningly believe in, and support the use of titles as a matter of course, and then so easily discard them when it suits!

Second: how do you know that he wants his dc waving from the balcony of BP? You really don’t?

Speaking as someone who moved schools a lot (6/7 between the ages of 9 and 15?, so many I can't remember), it's not ideal. Due to different countries, different education authorities, different school year calendars, timings of moves etc, I only had 3 1/2 years of high school education. I've done OK in life but how much better could things have been if I had consistent, regular teachings in one place?
I just had to get on with it, as you did then. (Different times). The one thing I really regret is that I've not got friends that I can say that I went to nursery/ school with, as I was never there long enough to make long lasting or long distance friendships! And no, we weren't an Army family, my dad just had a round arse!

Shouldn’t think so - the usual is that you have to give a full terms notice, so they’ll probably be on the hook for fees until the end of the Easter term.

I think you are spot on there. Plays nicely into the whole “we need taxpayer funded security but we won’t be working Royals” situation. It was H&M’s choice to come back to the UK.
If they don’t get their own way then they can create drama for Spare 2.0 - the continuing saga.

I only know state sector but with in five working days - moving from England to Wales we had a new school - only took so long as waited till kids were here coem few days after we got house to look round potential new schools.

I would image with private it's even quicker - do you have places phone call.

I do think it really bad parenting - up kids from one country to another then start them at a new school for two days and then another after that.

I think secuirty issues should have been investigates and thought though before the kids were started at a school TBH.

If it's because it's come out which school - well it was always going to and the press were not going tp publish it - you tubers and randoms well there was always possible and needed a plan to deal with and will at next school.

Why is it anywhere? It's not a matter of public interest. It means absolutely nothing to anyone outside of the family. The Times (no longer a broadsheet) and Teleraph are also unecessarily pushing this, as is the BBC (which is decidely tabloid on this issue). At the end of the day, though, it's the tabloids that are really driving the "Harry-Meghan nonsense" (a great quote from General Kainerugaba, almost up there with "recollections may vary"). I suspect an underlying theme for the tabloid and the so-called "quality" media is that William completely ignores them and gives them nothing, so honing in on Harry is one way of trying to get clickbait "royal" stories. Except it just makes William ignore them even more.

I imagine "the Firm" have no interest in having a closer relationship with H+M, why would they? They've caused a lot of damage and hurt to family members, the RF as an institution and the country, they are wildly unpopular, demonstrably unsuited to royal life with their entitlement, Meghan's exploitation of vulnerable people to sell clothes and Harry's embarrassing geopolitical pontificating and random arse slapping. They are global laughing stocks. Plus the lying, the deceit and the inability to keep their mouths shut. There's no way anyone wants them anywhere they might be seen to represent the RF.

This.

Also the photos and videos do not have to be where they live. It could be a decoy.

What has “rank” got to do with needing security? They don’t need it in the States but presumably Harry’s royal status was the same there as it is here ( I realise that in the US it didn’t mean anything). Why has he suddenly become more important now he has returned to the UK?

Also, you don’t seem to have any answers to the many counter arguments put up against your claims. You are just finding more and more flimsy reasons why the Sussexes should just get what they want because they say so

Yes I am old enough to remember Princess Margaret’s children appearing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace rather regularly as it happens.

They were there for various family weddings, but also for Trooping the Colour for quite a few years, and I remember them on the balcony for the Queen Mother’s 100th birthday celebration if I’m not mistaken.

Just shows how out of touch the two of them are. Anyone, anywhere in this country would have been able to tell them that roads around schools get busy at drop off and pick up times and that yes, sometimes the traffic is stationary.

Which posters are these? It seems that you're the only one posting about their importance just because they're royal. Harry is a royal prince, that may mean some do not question him, and uphold his status, but not all of us do. We judge on behaviour.

I think even the most generously minded person would find it rather odd that having spent the last year or so asking for tax-payer security, the couple find a convenient reason to bolster that, based on the risks of the school run after only 2 days.

It points to gross negligence/ risk assessment by their security team or constructing 'evidence' to try to make a point.

Add on the 'cute' shots of the family, a day or so before, in the countryside from parents who want privacy and it's very hard not to be cynical.

Do you really think they are that clever?

Well maybe someone else suggested it!

Sadly we know that people believe what they read in the DM.

The Daily Mail has a very good legal department and thoroughly checks its stories before publication.

It is signed up to IPSO and regularly wins the cases that are taken to that organisation.

You may not like the slant that they put on stories, but the facts in their reports are usually accurate.

As far as their stories about the Sussexes are concerned, they are generally provided by the Sussex team.

I don't remember any of these problems with Kate and William's kids starting school.

Nope. I was responding to a comment about whether they are still “royal” or not.

I was making the point that many monarchists love a title when it suits, but want to bury it when it doesn’t, and that’s not the way the system works.

And that, in a nutshell, is why hereditary monarchy is such a bad idea.

Now to be fair, they were pretty constant. Always. Only since the death of the Queen have they not appeared.

Fairly easy to stay under the radar with a single Range Rover with blacked out rear windows; there must be plenty at a private school that takes parents of wealthy children.

Less easy if you are determined to be very obvious with a convoy.

I totally agree with this.

They could be left alone if they wanted to.

That's the whole point of the convoy. Drawing attention to themselves. It's all about the publicity and the status.

How? Are they slowly poisoning their children to get attention?
