A spokesperson for Prince Harry criticized the "irresponsible" actions of paparazzi—photographers who aggressively pursue celebrities for media coverage—near the school attended by his children, following an incident involving two men seen near the school grounds. The spokesperson said that photographers were circling the school, stopping to look inside the grounds, and watching children go about their daily routines, which was considered highly inappropriate. The statements emphasized that such behavior represented an unacceptable invasion of the children's private lives and was both reckless and inconsiderate in a school environment. According to BBC News, two individuals were spotted near the school where Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, attend. One of the individuals was identified by police as a press photographer. The incident has raised concerns about the privacy and safety of the children, especially given the couple's recent return to the United Kingdom. Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, moved their children to a new school after returning to the UK, expressing worries about their safety during travel. The couple made the move in August after living in California for six years. They now reside in the Cotswolds, a region popular with wealthy international travelers. Since 2020, they have not been formally part of the active royal family. King Charles III confirmed in a statement that they have no official role within the royal family and are now considered "private citizens." Their return to the UK has sparked renewed discussions about their security and whether it is funded by British taxpayers. This issue remains unresolved, with ongoing debates about the responsibilities and expectations placed on former royal family members who choose to live private lives.
