00:00Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children are set to attend a private school in the UK,
00:03and local parents have already been warned about new strict rules surrounding high-profile students.
00:09Royal commentator Kinsey Shofield exclusively told Page Six that families in the Cotswolds
00:13were contacted by school officials about the new guidelines.
00:16Shofield said the message told parents that,
00:19from time to time, some families joining the school may attract a greater level of public or media interest.
00:24The letter reportedly reminded parents and caregivers not to photograph or film other children without permission.
00:30or share photographs, information, or details about pupils or their families on social media.
00:36Shofield said the school wants to make sure all children can enjoy school life in a safe, happy, and private
00:41environment.
00:42Page Six has chosen not to name the school that sent the letter for privacy reasons.
00:46However, we can confirm that Archie and Lilibet are attending a different school than the one that sent the message.
00:51The warning comes as the Sussexes' children prepare to start at a different private school in the UK,
00:55which costs more than $35,000 a year.
00:58The Ritzy school reportedly features an indoor swimming pool, a fitness center,
01:02expansive grass playing fields, and multiple AstroTurf sports pitches.
01:06Students also have access to art studios, a cooking room, multiple science labs, a large theater,
01:11and a music and performing arts center, with practice rooms, classrooms, rehearsal spaces, and a recital hall.
01:17The campus even has river access for activities including boating and kayaking,
01:21while its dining hall serves breakfast, lunch, and supper.
01:24The school warning comes as Harry and Meghan begin a new chapter for their family after returning to the UK.
01:29The couple lived in Montecito, California for six years after stepping back from their royal duties in 2020.
01:35Harry and Meghan quietly moved out of their $14 million Montecito estate last week,
01:39before flying privately to the UK with their children, 7-year-old Prince Archie and 5-year-old Princess Lilibet.
01:45Sources previously told Page Six that Harry wanted his children to live closer to his father, King Charles III,
01:50who revealed his cancer diagnosis in 2024.
01:53The move would also allow Archie and Lilibet to build relationships with other members of the royal family.
01:57The Sussexes are expected to continue with their business ventures while living in a non-royal residence in the UK.
02:03Meghan, meanwhile, is marking what her As Ever brand called a new chapter,
02:07with the launch of a new sparkling wine product.
02:09The reserve Brut, which is sourced from Napa Valley and made using the traditional Method Champenoise,
02:14will be available on September 3.
02:16The couple has also reportedly been looking for a home in the Cotswolds,
02:19an affluent countryside enclave in southwest England that is known for attracting celebrities,
02:24including David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, and Simon Cowell.
02:28The area is also close to Highgrove House, King Charles and Queen Camilla's country residence.
02:33Royal commentator Tom Sykes previously told Page Six that Harry has happy memories of the area
02:38from growing up there with his father and brother.
02:40But the Sussexes' potential move to the Cotswolds has reportedly received mixed reaction from locals.
02:45Schofield told Page Six that residents are more wary than excited about Harry and Meghan's arrival.
02:50She explained that the Cotswolds can be very welcoming to famous people,
02:54but there is an unwritten agreement that celebrities don't make a spectacle of themselves,
02:58and locals don't make a big deal about their presence.
03:00Schofield said that while the area is accustomed to celebrities,
03:03Harry and Meghan are different because wherever they go, the headlines tend to follow.
03:07One local source reportedly advised Harry to keep a low profile and respect the community,
03:12with another saying,
03:13Please don't bring the circus here.
03:15Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan's former neighbors in Montecito said the couple left without much fanfare.
03:20One neighbor described their departure as,
03:22With a whimper, not a bang,
03:23saying there were no moving trucks or parties,
03:25and that one day they were here, and the next they were back in England.
03:29Now, with Archie and Lilibet beginning school,
03:31the Sussexes' new life in Britain is officially getting underway.
