Prince Harry and Meghan Sue Paparazzi over Photos of Son Archie

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have taken legal action again over privacy claims, and this time, to protect their son, Archie.

In a complaint filed Thursday in California, where Harry and Meghan moved earlier this year; the couple alleges that the paparazzi used drones to take photographs of their 14-month-old son, Archie.

The complaint, filed against unnamed photographers; details the unwanted media attention Harry and Meghan say they have suffered since moving to a Los Angeles home in a gated community. Rumour has it that they got this home the generosity of Hollywood mogul Tyler Perry.

“Some paparazzi and media outlets have flown drones a mere 20 feet above the house; as often as three times a day, to obtain photographs of the couple and their young son in their private residence”, the complaint said.

“Some of these photos have been sold and published,” Harry and Meghan allege in the complaint. “Others have flown helicopters above the backyard of the residence at odd hours of the night; waking neighbours and their son, day after day. And still, others have even cut holes in the security fence itself to peer through it.”

Harry and Meghan say they learned recently that the photographers are selling pictures of Archie; claiming they took them on a public outing in Malibu.

According to the couple, the photos were taken in the backyard of their home without their knowledge; an alleged action that the complaint describes as crossing “a red line for any parent.”
