Harry and Meghan are taking legal action to protect their young son’s right to privacy.
Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, filed a lawsuit in California on Thursday against anonymous paparazzi photographers for allegedly taking ‘illegal’ photographs of their son, Archie.
The lawsuit, filed in California State Superior Court in Los Angeles County, cited “serial intrusions” into the privacy of the couple’s 14-month-old child and had come as a measure for the protect from the “fabricated eating frenzy”.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are taking this legal action to protect their young son’s right to privacy in their home without intrusion from photographers, and to uncover and arrest those who seek to profit from these illegal actions,” l lawyer for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement.
The lawsuit also alleged that drones and helicopters entered the privacy of the airspace above the couple’s residence.
The couple are asking for “no special treatment” and are only seeking the right to be left alone in the privacy of their home, as guaranteed by California law, according to the lawsuit.
In June, Meghan sought a court order to prevent the publisher of a UK tabloid from disclosing the names of friends who could be witnesses in an ongoing legal dispute over their right to privacy.
The family now live in Los Angeles after the couple stepped down from royal duties at the end of March to build a new career. They left the UK after growing hostility to intense media coverage of their privacy.
In April, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told top UK tabloids, including The Sun and Daily Mail, that there would be “no engagement” with them in the future because of their fake and invasive coverage. .
