Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have triggered their first controversy of the new school term, according to German outlet RTL.de. The couple reportedly sent a warning letter to other parents, and the move has already caused noticeable friction.
RTL.de reports that the letter, sent ahead of the school start for their children Archie and Lilibet, has become the subject of early backlash. The exact contents of the warning were not detailed in the available summary, but the outlet describes it as a source of "the first stir" among the parent community.
The report aligns with coverage from other German media, including BILD and STERN.de, which also noted the existence of a "warning letter" or "strict rules" tied to the children’s schooling. According to those outlets, the couple has imposed firm guidelines for fellow parents, though the specific demands remain unclear from the material provided.
This development comes as Harry and Meghan continue to balance their public life in the United States with ongoing media scrutiny in the UK and Europe. RTL.de’s report does not specify whether the letter relates to privacy concerns, security measures, or other matters, and no further details have been confirmed.
The couple’s children, Archie and Lilibet, are of school age, and the letter appears to have been distributed in connection with their enrollment. The reaction described by RTL.de suggests that the approach has not been universally well received.
What to watch next: Whether Harry or Meghan issue a public response to the reported backlash, and if further details of the letter’s terms emerge in the coming days.
