Sussexes condemn ‘reckless intrusion’ after men spotted near Archie and Lilibet’s school

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have expressed concern over the actions of an international photographer who was spotted near the school attended by their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Two men, both dressed in backpacks, were seen circling the school perimeter. Subsequently, police identified one of the men as an international press photographer.

The Sussexes' spokesman condemned the incident, describing it as "an extraordinary recklessness" and an "unacceptable intrusion into the privacy of children". The incident occurred as the couple had returned to the UK from California after six years, following their decision to move back. The photographer was later identified as a representative from a European press agency.

Harry, Meghan, and their children had recently returned to the UK, relocating to a private property in the Cotswolds area. The move back has led to discussions about the level of publicly funded security that the Sussexes will receive. The committee responsible for overseeing royal and VIP security, Ravec, is now reviewing the couple's security arrangements, considering factors such as their daily travel routes and school commutes.
