Parents warned to photograph only their own children at Sussex school

Parents at the new UK school attended by Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have been warned to photograph only their own children, following the leak of Meghan's personal phone number from a parents' WhatsApp group. The guidance, reported this week, also extended to parents at neighbouring schools whose sports teams play against the Sussex children's school, with a letter stressing the importance of photographing only one's own children. Accounts of who issued the warning differ: one account attributes it to the school, while another says the Duke and Duchess of Sussex themselves raised the request with parents. Neither the school nor the couple's representatives have publicly confirmed the origin of the notice. The warning followed Meghan's reported addition to a parents' group chat the night before Prince Archie's first day at the school. According to the accounts, she responded to welcome messages from other parents, and her personal phone number was subsequently shared outside the group. Sources close to the Sussexes described the leak as disappointing.
