Heavy congestion on Oxfordshire’s roads has been cited as the reason Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet were withdrawn from a private preparatory school after just two days of attendance.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the decision to remove their children from the institution following concerns raised by security personnel.
A representative for the couple stated that practical considerations regarding their current arrangements prompted the move.
According to reports from ITV, the journey to the school would involve extended periods of time spent in unmoving traffic.
Additional factors reportedly included the difficulty of maintaining proximity between the family vehicle and the security escort, the repetitive nature of the daily commute, and the overall length of travel time involved.
Security team members are understood to have evaluated the logistics of the school run before Archie and Lilibet were scheduled to begin their studies there.
The family representative explained that the decision resulted from discussions with security officials about the feasibility of their existing arrangements.
The parents expressed sincere appreciation to the teaching and support staff for the care and dedication shown to their family.
The representative emphasised that the withdrawal should not be interpreted as criticism of the school or the quality of attention the children received during their brief enrollment.
Meanwhile, reports emerged that Meghan’s personal mobile number had been shared without authorisation, with the alleged source being a messaging group for parents at the school that the Duchess had recently joined.
Messages from other mothers welcomed her to the community.
Meghan responded with a warm greeting expressing happiness at joining the group.
Subsequently, images of the conversation exchanges were circulated widely, according to reports.
