Royal Relocation Sparks Parental Concerns Over Security at Lambrook School

Prince William and Kate Middleton's recent move to Windsor has resulted in a significant transition for their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

The royal trio is set to begin their education at Lambrook School, located near Ascot, starting this September.

However, the announcement has been met with a wave of discontent from other parents at the school, who are worried about the implications of heightened security measures.

The royal family's relocation to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor has prompted this new chapter for their children.

George, aged 9, Charlotte, 7, and 4-year-old Louis will be attending Lambrook, a prestigious institution known for its rich history and impressive facilities.

But as excitement builds for the royal enrollment, so too does the anxiety among fellow parents regarding the potential impact on the school's atmosphere.

One concerned mother expressed her frustrations to the Sunday Mirror, voicing that many parents are apprehensive about how the increased security will alter the school's relaxed environment.

“A lot of parents are worried the feel and atmosphere of the school will change with all the security,” she said.

The fear is that cherished events, like the traditional carol service, could lose their charm and become overly formalized.

Previously, George and Charlotte attended Thomas's Battersea in South West London, where they had discreet protection from armed royal officers.

This arrangement was put in place following serious security incidents, including a man's guilty plea in June 2018 for plotting terror attacks targeting the primary school.

Additionally, a woman caused alarm in 2017 when she managed to enter the school grounds after the gates were left open.

As the royal children prepare for their new adventure, parents at Lambrook are imagining a future filled with visible security personnel.

One mother shared her fears, saying, “Parents are picturing armed police in trees and in the corridors; they don't want their kids witnessing it.” The lack of electric gates at the school has raised questions about whether that will soon change, further complicating access for other families.

The sentiment among parents is clear: they feel the essence of the school may shift dramatically with the arrival of the royal family.

“It's certainly not the same school and vibe we signed the kids up for,” lamented another parent, echoing a common concern among the community.
