Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are officially back in the UK — and their return is already stirring up quite a bit of drama.
The Sussexes, who have called Montecito, California, home for years, have moved back across the pond with their children, Prince Archie (7) and Princess Lilibet (5), who are set to enroll in new schools. While the exact location of their new home hasn’t been confirmed, reports suggest the family is currently staying in the Cotswolds at a friend’s house while they search for a permanent residence.
But not everyone is rolling out the welcome mat.
Neighbors Are Already Fed Up
According to Page Six, locals in the Cotswolds have reportedly already grown tired of the media attention that inevitably follows the Sussexes wherever they go. And now, it seems that tension is spreading beyond just the neighbors.
Parents Receive Warning Letters
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told Page Six that school officials in the area have sent warning letters to parents, outlining a new set of rules in light of Harry and Meghan’s arrival.
“The message sent to families essentially said that, from time to time, some families joining the school may attract a greater level of public or media interest,” Schofield revealed.
The letter also emphasized that the school is committed to providing a “safe, happy and private environment” for all students. Parents were reminded “not to photograph or film other children without permission, or share photographs, information or details about pupils or their families on social media.”
Which School? It’s Still a Mystery
While the private school that Archie and Lilibet will attend hasn’t been officially named, Page Six confirmed that the children are actually enrolled at a different school than the one that sent out the warning. Still, the fact that such precautions are already being taken speaks volumes about the level of scrutiny surrounding the Sussex family.
A Familiar Pattern
Harry and Meghan have always been protective of their children’s privacy — and this latest development suggests they’re taking no chances as they settle back into life in the UK. But for local parents, the new rules are a reminder that when royalty moves into the neighborhood, everything changes.
