Prince Harry's children targeted by 'European paparazzi' while at school in England

Police are investigating two photographers after security staff saw them monitoring the children at school, prompting renewed concerns over the Sussexes’ safety.

  • On Wednesday, British police began investigating after two men with backpacks were spotted patrolling the perimeter of the school attended by Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet; officers later identified them as international photographers using a rental van.
  • Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, moved their children to this school two weeks ago after switching institutions in August due to security concerns regarding traffic patterns that strained their private security team's convoy.
  • A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess branded the photographers' conduct "extraordinarily reckless," calling it an "unacceptable intrusion into the privacy of children" while the men monitored the grounds.
  • British officials are currently reviewing the family's protection arrangements through a Home Office committee known as RAVEC, using evidence from this incident to evaluate threat levels and determine if state-funded security is warranted.
  • While the incident occurred 48 hours after arrests near RAF Fairford, authorities confirmed no evidence links the photographers to the terror plot; however, it underscores regulatory gaps, as international photographers operate outside domestic press standards.
