Meghan Markle's phone number was reportedly leaked after she joined a WhatsApp group related to her children’s new school.

This comes after Harry and Meghan moved back to the UK, and enrolled their children in school for only two days after security concerns were raised.

Tonight on The Huddle, Auckland Councillor Maurice Williamson and former Labour Chief of Staff Mike Munro joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more!
