Meghan Markle shares glimpse into family life back in the UK
Parents at Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s new school were left speechless after they “rocked up in blacked out cars” to be dropped off by their parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, reports have claimed. Archie and Lilibet had a taster session on Monday at their new school in Britain, after previously moving from another one due to security concerns.
The Sussex children had only just started a new school year in England after the family relocated from the US a little over two weeks ago. But they then joined another one, after heavy traffic and the lengthy journey to the school reportedly put the Sussexes’ security team under strain, Hello! magazine reported. The outlet added that Harry and Meghan’s bodyguard had carried out checks at the first school during the summer holidays but did not manage to inspect the area properly until the first day of term, when the traffic problems emerged.

Now, the Mirror reported that the Sussexes left quite an impression when they arrived at their new school on Monday in a convoy of two 4x4s with their children.
Harry and Meghan have been added to WhatsApp groups run by parents for each class and welcomed to the school.
A parent claimed the crowd saw the Sussexes’ convoy arrive shortly after 8.15am, with “security guards stepping out of the vehicles to open the doors for the family to exit”.
A mum told the outlet: “The parents’ WhatsApp groups have been buzzing. It’s all been very sudden and lots of people are talking about it.
“On the main class group one of the parents wrote, ‘Please welcome Meghan and Archie to the group’.
“The school is very academic with a lovely, close-knit village feel. All the parents talk to each other, so as long as they are friendly, they’ll fit right in.”
Another parent said: “It’s all caused quite a commotion since the news filtered through.
“This is a small community school and we are not used to anything like it and certainly not famous parents rocking up in blacked out cars to drop their children off.”
They added: “Once the excitement dampens down for some, I am sure they (Harry and Meghan) will be invited to school events like any other parent. It’s a wonderful atmosphere here and I hope they will want to get involved in everything from school fundraisers to cheering on all our sports teams.”
