Royal couple denounces paparazzi loitering at children’s school

Two individuals with backpacks, traveling in a white rental van, were observed by school personnel and the family’s security team circling the grounds of the school attended by Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The Sussexes’ spokesperson labeled the photographers’ conduct as recklessly invasive and a stark breach of children’s privacy, noting the timing so soon after a suspected terrorist plot near RAF Fairford involving American families.

Police later confirmed the men were international photographers working for a European press agency. Harry and Meghan, who have been residing in the United Kingdom for just over a month, are still awaiting a decision on whether they will receive taxpayer-funded protection. Their children were withdrawn from a preferred school earlier this year after traffic complications hampered the security convoy. The incident revives concerns about paparazzi practices and the safety of royal family members.
