Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, filed an invasion of privacy suit against unnamed paparazzi Thursday, accusing photographers of taking drastic measures to get images of the couple and their son at their California home.
Harry and Meghan allege in the lawsuit that photographers have been relentless in their attempt to get photos of the family since they left England this spring, and particularly after their locations in Canada and Los Angeles were published this year.
Photographers have allegedly cut holes in their fence and flown helicopters and drones over the home in attempts to get pictures, the lawsuit said. Michael Kump, the couple’s attorney, said in a statement to NBC News that the couple has the same right to privacy under the law as any California resident.
“No drones, helicopters or telephoto lenses can take away that right,” Kump said. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are filing this lawsuit to protect their young son’s right to privacy in their home without intrusion by photographers, and to uncover and stop those who seek to profit from these illegal actions.”
The lawsuit asks the court to force the unnamed defendants to turn over any and all photographs taken while violating the “reasonable” right to privacy, including those of Harry and Meghan’s son, as well as monetary damages. Harry and Meghan have filed two lawsuits in the United Kingdom in the last year, one against Associated Papers and another against News Group Newspapers., The Mail on Sunday's parent company, after the tabloid published a private letter written by Meghan to her father. Harry and Meghan accused the company of intentionally editing out entire paragraphs to manipulate readers.
