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.

I know he used to bring his American security 'team' over when he was here for short visits, but surely that can't be true now that he's supposedly moving here long term? Presumably they all have families in California and can't just up and leave them. Also, they wouldn't be licensed to work in England. Americans can't just move to Britain and work, especially not as bodyguards. Surely they have engaged local security guards? Mind you, nothing the Sussexes do makes any sense so who knows?

Not to be picky, but it wasn’t paps who figured it out, it was SM posters who follow Meghan’s SM who figured it out.

I bet he told her to belt up too.

One thing I'm unsure about is whether there is a condition attached to having police protection, that you have to accept their assessment of a situation and follow their instructions. Because I can see H&M both having problems with that.

When in Canada immediately post-flounce, they still had full protection but they used to use them to run errands for them until the officers complained. That must have fed into the decision to remove protection, I imagine.

It was a bonkers choice for people obsessed with US-style security motorcades. Any idiot would realise that the journey would be congested and chaotic, if they’re hoping to keep 3 vehicles together. How ridiculous.

There are several lovely schools out in the country in the Cotswolds where travel would have been much easier.

I don’t understand how they get everything so wrong. But - it may be that they did have advice on this and in true HAM style, just ignored it.

Who cares where they are? They are just trying to cause a drama which is all they ever do.

Yes I recall the security had to fetch them coffee from a coffee shop.

the last thing I read about M & H's paid- by -them security detail, he had brought them with him from the US?

That would be a bit daft if they're expecting them to do the school run - they're not even used to driving on the left!

That was shocking, what sort of person thinks it’s ok to do that to a young woman.

It makes you wonder what other things he has done that we don’t know about.

I believe Charlotte Griffiths said there were other more fruitier indiscretions involving Harry that she has chosen to keep private?

I can well believe that.

Every time I read the word convoy regarding getting these two kids to school I laugh and think wtf.
And an hour each way commute for two small children, bloody hell.

The children's parents set up a convoy to transport them a few blocks in New York. So I guess they have form.

@IcedPurple well it's not a surprise that a quick lookup doesn't show anything concrete about who their security detail is, or where they come from ( I guess that would go against the security rules) lol. However Google confirms that it was recently reported that although H&M don't have publicly funded security from the UK , that they did rely on their own private security team that they brought or maintained from their years in California / US.

So you're right! Who knows?

Lilibets infamous godfather must be gutted they have left, he has announced he is moving to Puerto Rico.

I know. Who would side with a man like Prince Harry, with all that he himself has revealed about his behaviour and personality?

The 'reports' are basically just rumours.

Like I say, their American security 'team' couldn't operate in Britain without work visas. They'd also have to leave their families 8 time zones away. That might be fine for short visits, but not long term.

@tartyflette, I agree. They are only on my radar because I love a bit of celeb gossip (I know not big or clever) but most proper slebs these days are far more savy than in the past and a bit dull , so no drama for us plebs. These two c-listers have no one to blame apart from themselves. They have also managed to change my view of the actual royal family from that of indifference to one of low-key respect. Soft-power is a real thing, particularly considering our elected politicians for over a decade. The 'recollections may vary' statment from Buck House and most recent letter from the Lord Chamberlain are an absolute masterclass.

It does seem to be their pattern of behavior but then so is their apparent need for drama.

I think Harry and his antics - hiding his behavior pre freedom flight - and the recent reponsed to it all show that they have some good PR people.

Many years ago I watched Suits and I caught a behind the scenes thing where the cast were interviewed and asked who was most like their character.
Now this was long before Harry and Meghan had met, but every cast member said Meghan, because of her ambitious nature.

If Harry had a brain, he'd ignore the media and hire a good PR/branding firm to run Meghan's Instagram account and a good office team to make public statements for him/them. Ditto for Meghan's As Ever thing. He'd avoid any "personal" photos (e.g. "private" moments of family Sunday jaunts on Instagram) and have very occasional formal, posed pics of him, Megs and the kids, and just get on with his life and interest.

But he doesn't have a brain, and neither does Meghan. If they did, they would be working royals using that platform to do good, impactful work and the kids would be running around the gardens of palaces.

There are zillions of tedious celebrities/influencers posting the exact same tat as them. It's really not interesting.

Edit typo.

Every time I read the word convoy, I hear this (my dad liked it!) …… breaker, breaker 😂

I heard otherwise… guess we’ll never know!

I live in a 'blink and miss it' town in the middle of nowhere. Everyone knows to avoid the area around the school near to the town centre between the starting times and finishing times. I sure it will be worse at a school in the middle of a city.
Giving the security the benefit of doubt maybe they didn't have the chance to see what the traffic was like during school holidays.

😂😆

You’re right, they probably didn’t. But a few of us have pointed out that it would have made sense to ask the school if there would be any issues around drop off and pick up times. Presumably they discussed other security arrangements so it would seem to be obvious to ask about this as well. Unless they are terminally incompetent 🤷‍♀️

Get your facts right before posting. Honestly. The Megan bashing does really smack of racism to me. Or envy. And at least read the article properly in that ‘newspaper’

It wasn’t that the school didn’t meet their expectations it’s that with the heavier traffic the security detail couldn’t keep the cars together leaving them vulnerable. It was a decision made based on their security’s advice.
