Prince Harry and Meghan condemn paparazzi presence at children's school
The Sussexes said two photographers walking the perimeter of their children's school constituted a reckless intrusion, prompting calls for a security review.
Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, said two international photographers who entered the perimeter of their children's school acted recklessly and breached privacy. Private security and school staff reported spotting the men with backpacks near the grounds, prompting the couple's spokesperson to label the behavior an "extraordinary lack of judgment" and an "unacceptable intrusion."
"It is concerning enough that certain European paparazzi appear unwilling to respect the privacy of children at school," the spokesperson said. "But to behave in this manner in these particular circumstances, and so soon after the incident at RAF Fairford, demonstrates an extraordinary lack of judgment."
The incident follows the Sussexes' recent relocation of their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, to a new school for security reasons. The family has been awaiting a formal risk assessment by a Home Office unit after returning to the United Kingdom from California. British media have omitted the school's location at the request of the Independent Press Standards Organisation. Police have not yet commented on the matter.
