Archie and Lilibet, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s two children, reside in Montecito, California, and Archie, the elder son, attends a nearby school. Here’s why he will receive extra-special training in danger during his education but not his British cousins:
Since the Columbine shooting in 1999, “shooter drills”—practice activities that teach kids what to do during a gun incident—have become standard in American schools. It’s likely that Archie will have to go through one at some point while he is a student there.
They frequently feature made-up scenarios of’shooters’ entering the school to mimic the real thing; while some people welcome their arrival, others worry about the possible trauma they might cause.
Journalist Allison P. Davies accompanied Meghan Markle on her school run while she was being interviewed by The Cut, and it was revealed that the family has additional security on hand.
She pulls out a brand-new black backpack from the trunk at a stoplight and hands it to her security detail to give to a homeless man on the corner, the author writes.
This demonstrates the level of security Archie has while traveling to and from school as well as around the perimeter of their sprawling Montecito mansion.

Archie and Lilibet may soon experience a complete change of circumstances because King Charles III’s proclamation as the new monarch may entitle them to the titles of Prince and Princess.
The two children are anticipated to adopt the new royal titles, just like their cousins Prince George, Prince Charlotte, and Prince Louis, in keeping with tradition. King George V’s introduction of a new law allowing the monarch’s children and grandchildren to claim titles in 1917 marked the beginning of the royal tradition.
