Thanks for the warm welcome. So happy to be part of this community xx,&#8221; Meghan replied. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-paragraph articleLinkText  lg mb-4\">The BBC reported a close friend of the family said the school was not at fault for the Sussexes moving on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-paragraph articleLinkText  lg mb-4\">&#8220;The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they have shown their family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-paragraph articleLinkText  lg mb-4\">&#8220;This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-paragraph articleLinkText  lg mb-4\">The family&#8217;s return to the UK has led to a review into the level of protection the family received, with a committee reconsidering measures for the full-time residents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-paragraph articleLinkText  lg mb-4\">The committee known as Ravec \u2013 including representatives from the Home Office, the Royal Household and the police \u2013 would assess threats and current levels of police protection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-paragraph articleLinkText  lg mb-4\">The assessments would also include any risks the family faced in their home, as well as their travels along regularly used routes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-paragraph articleLinkText  lg mb-4\">Prince Harry previously launched an unsuccessful legal case over his security.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-paragraph articleLinkText  lg mb-4\">He made another inquiry into his police protection earlier this year, before the Sussexes&#8217; plan to return to England became public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has reportedly had her phone number leaked after joining a WhatsApp group chat&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":602951,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[156,111,139,69,6747,1745],"class_list":["post-602950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-royalty","tag-uk-europe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=602950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602950\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/602951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=602950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=602950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=602950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
