Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s fears about maintaining their privacy came true just days after they were forced to pull out their children from school.
It was revealed that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet had to switch school immediately just as school term started, even though the parents and the children both loved it. However, a new security alert was raised for the Sussexes when Meghan’s personal phone number was leaked.
According to The Sun, screenshots from the school parents’ WhatsApp chat were shared which Meghan had joined the night before the children had their first day.
In the screenshot, wo moms welcome Meghan, with one message reading, “Welcome to Meghan who has Archie joining tomo.” Another message reads, “Welcome!!”
The As Ever founder responded, “Hi moms! Thanks for the warm welcome [heart emoji] So happy to be a part of this community xx.”
The Sussexes have refused to comment, but sources close to them said it was disappointing what the fellow parents did.
The update came after the Sussex spokesperson had revealed that they were changing schools of their children owing to logistical matters posing a risk to the children. It was revealed that due to the heavy-rush traffic during school run, they were unable to manage the security convoy.
“You can’t have a situation where the fifth, sixth and seventh in line to the throne are trapped in a car,” a source told the outlet.
