Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Threaten Legal Action Over Paparazzi Photos
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are playing NO games! The couple has been planning for a new “peaceful life” after stepping down from their royal duties. However, it already looks like it’s off to a rocky start!

Just less than 24 hours after Harry landed in Vancouver Island to reunite with his wife and son, lawyers acting on the couple’s behalf sent a letter to British news outlets, warning them that “action will be taken” if they continue to purchase and/or publish any photographs taken by photographers stalking them under circumstances the letter describes as “harassment.”
According to the letter obtained by NBC, paparazzi have reportedly set up a permanent campsite outside the couple’s home and even attempted to photograph them at home using long-range lenses.
“There are serious safety concerns about how the paparazzi are driving and the risk to life they pose,” the letter read.
It was also noted that Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, died in a 1997 car accident while “trying to escape” paparazzi in Paris — another big reason why Harry is pressing this issue and making sure to send out a clear warning.
Now, this wouldn’t be the first lawsuit if the couple decides to move forward with the filing. Back in October of last year, the couple revealed a lawsuit against the Daily Mail for misuse of private information, among other claims. Harry even released a statement at the time accusing the tabloid press of a “ruthless campaign” against his wife.
“I’ve seen what happens when someone I love is commoditized to the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real person. I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces,” he wrote.
