Royal experts told Fox News Digital that the recent traffic and security concerns surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children’s school commute in the Cotswolds should not have come as a surprise. Kinsey Schofield, host of the YouTube show “Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered,” said her sources warned her about school‑run traffic two weeks before Archie and Lili even began classes.
Logistical challenges noted early
Schofield explained that local residents had already raised concerns about the volume of vehicles and the potential for ambush‑style incidents that could threaten the children’s safety. “Locals knew about the traffic, the Sussexes knew where they were living, and they understood the distance to the school,” she said.
Royal commentators weigh in
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams described the decision to move Prince Archie and Princess Lillibet to a new school just two days into the term as “extraordinary” and indicative of haste. He questioned why the issues were not identified earlier and why they were discussed publicly.
Ian Pelham Turner, a royal broadcaster, added that Harry and Meghan have been advocating for taxpayer‑funded security for years and that their security team was concerned about the length of the commute and the risk of vehicles blocking their route.
Security review underway
According to Turner, a security review is now in progress following the couple’s permanent move to the United Kingdom. Harry has previously lost court battles over funding for his family’s security and has appealed to the Home Secretary for a resolution.
Impact on the children
Schofield expressed sympathy for Archie and Lili, noting that children are resilient but that such disruptions early in the school term are undesirable. She emphasized that the Sussexes’ private security operation should have anticipated these logistical hurdles.
A spokesperson for the Sussexes said the decision to change schools was made after discussions with their security team about practical arrangements and that the family remains grateful to the teachers and staff for their care.
