Markle's US school run set against her 2022 warning of 40-photographer UK press pen

Meghan Markle told PEOPLE on 4 August 2026 that her morning school run — dropping Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, at separate schools — runs from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. In 2022 she told The Cut that UK school pickup would have meant "a royal photo call with a press pen of about 40 people." The children's school locations remain undisclosed.
