World – Lawyers for Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex warned British media against harassment of the couple following their move to Canada under their plan to “step back” from royal duties.

Harry was pictured leaving a plane as he arrived at Vancouver airport early Tuesday to join Meghan, who had returned to Canada with the couple’s 8-month-old son Archie earlier this month.

The couple’s lawyers complained that pictures of Meghan carrying Archie and walking her dogs in Canada on Monday were taken without her consent by photographers “hiding in bushes and spying on her,” the BBC and other media reported.

The lawyers accused the photographers of harassment and threatened legal action. They said the paparazzi were staking out the couple’s Vancouver Island home and attempting to use telephoto lenses to take pictures inside the building, the broadcaster reported.

Harry and Meghan had previously denounced intrusive, inaccurate and hostile reporting in news and social media, including racism against Meghan, whose mother is black.
