Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have changed their children's school in the United Kingdom, days after the children began attending, according to media reports.

The couple's private security team had raised concerns about the distance of the school and heavy traffic along the school run route, the BBC reported Monday, citing a source close to the couple.

Separately, Prince Harry and Meghan will be given a review of their publicly funded security following their return to the United Kingdom.

The committee overseeing royal and VIP security, known as RAVEC, is expected to reconsider their level of police protection now that they and their two children are full-time U.K. residents rather than visitors.

Prince Harry has lost his appeal against a ruling that dismissed his challenge over the level of police security he receives while in Britain.

Return to UK

The duke and duchess returned to the U.K. with their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, in August, six years after stepping back from their roles as senior working members of the British royal family and relocating to California.

Earlier in September, a letter sent on behalf of King Charles by the lord chamberlain, a senior palace official, stated that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not be able to use the titles "His and Her Royal Highness" and will remain private citizens.

The letter noted that the arrangement agreed in 2020, known as the Sandringham Agreement, remains in place, ruling out any "half-in and half-out" status that would allow the couple to pursue commercial interests while continuing as working royals.
