Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently uprooted their children for the next school year and a mother from Prince Archie’s old school just dropped the bomb about how long this trip might be, judging based off what the school was told regarding the tot.

For those unversed, questions about how long the Sussexes will be in the UK for have become the most asked question, and a mum from Prince Archie’s old school might have the answer based off what Meghan herself told administration when they asked; ‘should we hold a place for him?’

The entire thing has been revealed to The Sun, and comes directly from a 79-year-old Montecito resident named Penny Bianchi, who is well versed with the school the 7 and 5-year-old attended before their big move.

She’s said, “my grandchildren go to the same school and my son is an alumnus so I get all my gossip from there.”

She also claims, “they practically left the next day” and “just disappeared overnight,” due to security reasons.

The actual line that gave many a hint as to what the plan might be is when the resident admitted, “they've been told, ‘Don't hold a place for him as he's not coming back any time soon’.”

What is also pertinent to mention is that this is vastly different from the vague admission of them being in the country for an “extended period of time.”
