Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, filed a lawsuit in California on Thursday against unidentified paparazzi photographers for allegedly taking "illegal" photographs of their son, Archie.
The lawsuit, filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, cited "serial intrusions" of the privacy of the couple's 14-month-old boy and was a measure to protect him from the "manufactured feeding frenzy."
"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are filing this lawsuit to protect their young son's right to privacy in their home without the intrusion of photographers, and to uncover and arrest those seeking to benefit from these illegal actions," he said. the duke and duchess's lawyer. 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 seeks "no special treatment" and only seeks the right to be left alone in the privacy of their home, as guaranteed by California law, according to the lawsuit.
Meghan, Harry, and their one-year-old son Archie have stayed in Hollywood producer Tyler Perry's $ 18 million mega-mansion in the upscale Beverly Ridge neighborhood since they moved to Los Angeles in March.
In their lawsuit, they say they took considerable privacy measures at Tyler's mansion, including the construction of a large mesh fence around the property to protect against telephoto lenses.
But they cannot protect themselves against drones that fly 'just 20 feet above the house as often as three times a day.'
The lawsuit, filed by famed attorney Michael Kump, said that some media outlets flew helicopters over the house and that photographers had even made holes in his fence to take photos.
They said the behavior "crossed a red line for any parent" when buying photos of their son.
Harry and Meghan's suit also claims that the photographer trying to sell photos of their son claimed they were taken in public, in Malibu. But the couple haven't been in the area, or in public with their son, since they moved to Los Angeles and said the snapper is simply trying to hide the fact that they have 'unsolicited pictures of a young child in privacy. from their own home 'which are "very illegal".
They have also tried to try and lower the "reward" price of Archie's photos by sharing photos of him on social media.
The couple moved to Los Angeles earlier this year, but real expert Victoria Murphy believes they are not looking for a "totally private life." They say they moved away from the royal family to gain more control over "what they spend their time on."
Speaking to Town and Country, the commenter noted that Harry and Meghan still want a public life but with more control over their time.
