The Duchess of Sussex sparked a security alert as her personal mobile number was leaked from a school parents’ WhatsApp chat.
Meghan had joined the group conversation the night before her children, Archie and Lilibet, had their first day at a UK school.
One mum wrote: “Welcome to Meghan who has Archie joining tomo.”
Another added: “Welcome!!”
A reply from Meghan read: “Hi moms! Thanks for the warm welcome (heart emoji) So happy to be a part of this community xx”

But a screenshot of the chat has now been shared multiple times.
It emerged after Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, were removed from their new school after two days because private security guards raised concerns about the traffic.
They will now join another one in the area.
Meghan and husband Prince Harry had blamed traffic concerns.

Heavy rush-hour traffic during the school run and a “pinch point” caused by parked cars meant the journey of their security convoy took up to an hour instead of the expected 35 minutes.
A source said: “You can’t have a situation where the fifth, sixth and seventh in line to the throne are trapped in a car.”
Their new school is said not to come with the same traffic issues.

The move was revealed hours after it emerged that both Harry and Meghan will get their first government Ravec security review since 2020.
The duke has been campaigning for years for taxpayers to fund armed police bodyguards, which were removed when he and Meghan stepped down as working royals in 2020.
Harry, who has spent years based in the US, has previously claimed it was “unsafe” for his family to be in the UK.

He blasted a “good, old-fashioned establishment stitch-up” when he lost his costly judicial review against the Home Office.
In a letter last week, King Charles “directed” that the Sussexes were private individuals, with their official status remaining as non-working royals.
Meghan yesterday shared family photos to mark Harry’s 42nd birthday.

Posting on Instagram to the acoustic cover of a Tina Turner classic, a caption read: “He’s simply the best. Happy birthday, my love.”
A carousel of photos included Harry and Lilibet skiing, him kissing Meghan in a vineyard and a quad-biking snap.
