Los Angeles: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sued Thursday, July 23 to stop the sale and publication of a photo of their son Archie that they say was shot at their Los Angeles-area home in invasion of their privacy.
The royal couple gives a detailed account in the lawsuit of the media harassment they say they”ve had to constantly fight in the months since they moved to Southern California.
“This action arises out of the relentless and quite frankly shocking efforts of the tabloid media to profit from serial intrusions of the privacy of a 14-month-old child in his own home,” the suit says, ”and the desire and responsibility of any parent to do what is necessary to protect their children from this manufactured feeding frenzy.”
Meghan and Harry said that the tabloid harassment finally came to a head when they saw that a photo of Archie was being offered to media outlets that was purportedly taken on a family outing in Malibu, when in fact it was clearly shot while he was in their yard, unbeknownst to them.
“Archie has not been in public, much less in Malibu, since the family arrived here,” the lawsuit says.
It alleges the picture is mislabled because the sellers knew it would be unlawful for them to sell a photograph of a child in his own home.
