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.

Someone said just a few days ago that 'security' is now their excuse for everything. So I'm questioning if 'security' is the real reason for the change in schools. We know they do everything on the spur of the moment. Which isn't great when you have two school age children who are supposedly at great risk. They are both incredibly irresponsible, selfish people. Those poor kids.

Just a different School, not a big deal

So why do they brief the DM then, if they don't want to be the subject of media clicks? Charlotte Griffiths (the one Harry tried to drug with a white pill) of the DM has revealed that they do, eg she was briefed about the meeting of the palace and Sussex PRs at the Royal Overseas Club. She was tipped off, enabling the DM to have a photographer present to snap the apparently private meeting. The DM was on the infamous WhatsApp group, and Richard Eden confirmed the Sussexes provided the DM and other press with operation notes and briefings for their UK visit. What do that if you want to be left alone?

I didnt say H&M want to be left alone. I was simply answering the question the previous poster posted: why doesnt the DM leave the alone. As to H&M briefing DM and others, well, only they can answer that (They announced a few years ago they would not wok with DM but then the RO Club meeting was after that so who knows. A clustering clusterfuck

Gosh there’s a lot of hatred for them on this thread!
I think Harry is bound to be extremely paranoid about his children after what happened with his mother. His children are presumably the most precious things in his life and he’s terrified they’ll be harmed. I actually feel sorry for him.

Me too. Dr Gabor Maté has said he clearly has PTSD, of which hypervigilance is a part. Then you’ve got Meghan who felt suicidal over press harassment last time. I feel super sorry for them because they have obviously come back hoping people will be kinder but in fact that rightwing press have massively radicalised a portion of the public against them.

I have some relatives who read the mail and they actually sound totally mental when they talk about it. So irrationally angry. Like some on this thread. It’s very sad and also concerning. Thing is, as with Diana, if any of them end up coming to harm all the people who gobbled up the gossip will lay flowers and deny their complicity entirely.

More attention seeking behaviour. Pathetic.

I do wonder what effect H&M’s deranged behaviour will have on their children.

I am starting to feel it is bordering on a munchausens by proxy situation where these poor children are infected by their idiotic parents delusions about security and they will live in a state of fear.

I had a friend whose mum had then undiagnosed schizophrenia. She really believed her mum’s paranoia was the truth until eventually a total collapse took her mum to hospital and other family intervened.

It affected her dreadfully and even as an adult when she could appreciate her mum had been ill she could never quite forgive her for the ruination of her childhood.

I think H’s chronic drug use, his limited intellectual ability, his sense of entitlement and resentment have combined to such a degree that he has no grasp on reality.

M on the other hand just exploits whatever suits her purpose.

The children are both pawns and collateral damage in their parent’s circus.

The effects of this instability will be with them both for life. Hugely sad to watch this play out.

Poor kids. They need a stable childhood

They also need stable parents.

ScruffMuffin · Yesterday 22:04

@Greenseacat spot on!

I do not understand (and will never understand) why they don't just pay for security?

Although they might not need as much as they claim to, if they didn't keep announcing their movements to the media.

Empress13 · Yesterday 22:05

They’ve not been here 5 mins and already uploading details of their daily life. They can’t have it both ways they say they want a private life yet are still uploading on SM. I feel sorry for those poor kids.

Egg7 · Yesterday 22:06

God I wish people would leave them alone! Seemingly they can’t do anything right. I actually feel sorry for them. I’ll probably be under attack now so I’ll batten down the hatches.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · Yesterday 22:06

Which female film star was it who was ironically said to have been seen walking along with a megaphone shouting "Leave me! I wish to be alone!" through it?

Harry reminds me of that story.

I hardly think H had chronic drug use wasn’t it just weed back in his uni days ?

It said Harry and Meghan have reluctantly decided to 'withdraw them on the advice of their security team'.
How can they trust their security team if they got to that wrong 🤔

A spokesperson for the Sussexes said tonight: 'The decision for the children to move school was taken following a discussion with the family's security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements.
Why are they sharing this with the press? No one asked.

'The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they have shown their family. This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there.'
Love? In 2 days? The school have been markled 😂

But can’t you see some of this is totally of their own making. If you were worried about your children’s security, would you post a picture of them online where their location can be identified? Would you brief the media that your flight into the Uk was landing at a specific time?

I think people had sympathy with them initially before they started generating drama.

Kipperandarthur · Yesterday 22:09

They don’t plan anything properly and this is another case in point.

The school's probably heaving a huge sigh of relief today! I wonder if HAM will demand back the fees paid? Usually it's a full term's notice that's needed so they shouldn't be entitled to any return of fees.

I mean, I didn’t see the video but thought I heard it was at a relative’s estate, not where they are living but I’ll admit I don’t seek out posts about them so may well be wrong.
I would hate the scrutiny the RF get and the hatred. So much hatred for two people who none of us really actually know. Whipped up by the press who love the scandal. Horrific.

If they'd left the UK for the quiet life they craved then who would have cared? But they didn't. They started bleating and whining as soon as they left. They chucked Harry's family under the bus on international media for money with no self awareness at all. They're a pair of treacherous, perpetual moaners.

What rubbish parenting!
It was H&M’s responsibility to ensure they chose the right school for their children. They secured the school places really late, without doing the necessary due diligence apparently, and are now putting their children through yet another massive upheaval by starting them at another school. Poor Archie and Lilibet won’t know whether they’re coming or going!
If all this palaver is due to incompetence then that’s highly unimpressive and if it’s been done on purpose to try and force the security issue then that’s despicable.

I feel sorry for the kids.

And frankly, I’d be surprised if they can find another school to take them - it’s an awkward time and who the hell wants this kind of drama?

Oh HAM - you idiotic pair, spreading chaos everywhere and giving those poor children so many insecurities,

If it was limited to people being annoyed about them wanting funded security, then OK. But it's not. It's a constant stream of vitriol against them about anything and everything.

Like I say, I'm not particularly a fan. They do not present themselves well. And I agree with your point about the picture they shared, that was stupid. But I don't understand the extreme hatred that some people seem to have for them.

There’s no extreme hatred. It’s largely being amused and annoyed

I mean there’s a lot of people worth being affronted for, I’m not sure two workshy moany millionaires with a history of racism and a propensity for lying are worth it.

And no, it seems they can’t do anything right.

Which uni days were those?

IcedPurple · Yesterday 22:14

I had to laugh at the reference to 'keeping vehicles in convoy'. Made me think of Harry whining a few months ago about being 'promised safe passage'.

You would think the most expensive parts of the English countryside were a war zone! A war zone to which they chose to bring their young children, apparently without making appropriate arrangements. They really are clowns.

No, numerous sources including H himself admit a lot more than that.

I have colleagues with children at the two schools in question - and any “security” risk is essentially just a complete lack of planning / taking advice. Any educational consultant (and there are plenty of firms advising high net worth families relocating to the Uk on choice of schools) - or any parent - could have told them that the school run through that particular area is a nightmare and the journey would easily take an hour each way. It’s like Christmas being a surprise.

Two schools?
