Archie and Lilibet’s new school has asked parents to show warmth and kindness to newcomers as the royals begin their British education. The Sussexes enrolled Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, at an undisclosed school in England after moving from Montecito, California, in late August.
The family are thought to be residing in a non-royal residence in the Cotswolds, though the exact location is being kept under wraps for privacy reasons. According to a letter seen by HELLO!, parents at the new school have been asked to extend “the same warmth and kindness” to all new starters this year, as the Sussexes’ children join its students.
Referring to “a number of new families”, the letter stated: “I know that our existing families will extend to them the same warmth and kindness that makes our school such a special place.”
In the USA, Archie and Lilibet previously attended two different schools. Archie will be entering Year 3 and Lilibet Year 1 in Britain.
The letter reminded parents that they should not post photographs of children other than their own on social media, and reiterated its no-phone policy on school grounds.
It added: “Further guidance will be provided where appropriate for school performances and other events.”
The same rule is in place at their cousin’s school. “No photography” signs were seen on fences at Eton College ahead of Prince George’s arrival this week.
The Prince and Princess of Wales escorted George from their home in Forest Lodge as he arrived at the Berkshire school for his first day on Tuesday. He follows in the footsteps of his father who also attended the prestigious school.
The Prince previously attended Lambrook School, a co-ed based in Berkshire, with his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
In an interview with The Cut in 2022, Meghan previously expressed concerns about the thought of her children being educated in the UK, in case it turned into “a royal photo call with a press pen of 40 people snapping pictures”.
