Harry recently confirmed that Archie and Lilibet are doing “great” at their new school, but Meghan is “rattled” with the arrangements in their new abode.

“Meghan’s not happy,” a friend told New Idea following the incident of Meghan’s number leaking via a parents’ WhatsApp group. “She’s worried for their safety.”
They added, “They’ve gone to so much trouble to keep their details private, so having her number cast all over the county was distressing. She’s convinced it’s only a matter of time before their address gets out too.”
There was reportedly a warning letter sent to the new school as well as the neighbouring schools.
“She’s on high alert and it wouldn’t be a surprise if she’s got ‘grab-and go’ bags packed already,” the source said.
The Duchess is seeking help from her friends Ellen DeGeneres, 68, and her wife Portia De Rossi, 52, about “A-list boltholes in the area” in case of emergency. Also, a “trusted hotel comes with an extra security layer at the front desk”.
