Meghan Markle and Prince Harry took their kids out of their U.K. school earlier this month due to security fears.

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's school area contained heavy traffic.

It was reported on Monday, September 14, the Suits star and the Spare author removed Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, from class after experiencing heavy traffic in the area. The distance between the educational institution and where the Sussexes are currently living was also cited as a security issue.

Schofield then noted her sources warned her about the car congestion around the school two weeks "before Archie and Lili had even started."

"When I spoke to people locally, the school-run traffic was one of the very first issues they raised with me," the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered host said.

One royal expert noted the Sussexes showed a 'lack of preparedness.'

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams also shared his take, saying that Archie and Lilibet's school dismissal shows "a lack of preparedness by the Sussexes."

"If the school run had the problems they have encountered, why did they not know earlier and why wait until their children have actually started school," he wondered.

Prince Harry's Taxpayer-Funded Security Is Under Review

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's taxpayer-funded security is currently being revisited.

"Why is this all played out in the public domain? Security issues should be private. There will be those who believe it has been handled in this way to increase pressure on the authorities to get automatic security," Fitzwilliams continued.

Harry has been championing for years for his taxpayer-funded security protection to be reinstated for the safety of his family.

While the Sussexes' protection was taken away following their move to the West Coast six years prior, their security is now being reviewed since they returned to England.

According to an ITV News source, Harry "has been told he will get his security reviewed following his move back home."

The Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC) allegedly informed the prince "that his situation was discussed at a meeting last week."
