Prince Harry has discussed openly this week how both Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have adjusted to school life following a somewhat rocky beginning to their period in the UK.
The king's younger son, his wife Meghan Markle, and their children touched down in England on August 26, arriving just in time for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to start their fall semester at their new UK school.
However, merely two days into the semester, the Sussex children transferred schools due to security and logistical issues concerning their daily commute.

It is believed that unanticipated heavy congestion on the route from their residence to the school meant a 30-minute trip became an hour-long journey during rush hour.
And sources familiar with the couple stated that being stuck in traffic increased their security concerns as it made them "sitting ducks."

Now they have transferred schools there are no longer security and logistical issues concerning their commute. Now, several weeks into the semester, Harry said things are going "great."
The children's new school is merely a brief drive from their temporary residence, bypassing congested areas. The Express is not identifying the schools or the family's location, reports the Express.

Earlier this week, Harry opened up about certain parenting challenges he and Meghan Markle have encountered since relocating to the UK to begin a new chapter.
During his annual appearance at the WellChild Awards in London, the Duke of Sussex, 42, discussed breakfast that morning with Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, as the family adjusts to its new routine in the UK.

He told Hello! Magazine, "At breakfast this morning, they had a bit of Monday morning blues. There's always something like Sunday night blues or boarding school... when you've been away, or before you go to school."
He then attempted to brighten the mood by sharing details about his day and the remarkable children and families he would be meeting later that evening at the WellChild Awards.
He said, "I decided, 'You know what? You're being a little bit tricky, so I'm going to tell you exactly what I'm doing tonight. And they were genuinely fascinated and asking all sorts of questions.
"So, like with all of my work and their mum's work as well, whatever we can do to try to instil some of that awareness, I think is absolutely crucial."
Harry has since provided a more encouraging update regarding his children. The Duke of Sussex spoke with CTV News on Friday, shortly after parachuting from a plane north of Toronto to raise funds for two veterans charities.
"It's been great. It's been great to be back on British soil. The kids are happy in school and it gives me a chance to be able to really focus on the Invictus Games in Birmingham in July next year," he said.
