AND so it begins – the new life of the world’s most famous relocating couple.
Prince Harry has officially left Britain, the country of his birth, to join his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and son, Archie, in Canada, away from the goldfish bowl he so despised. Although if he and Meghan were hoping for a little more peace and quiet in their new home, they might be rather disappointed.
Harry (35) and Meghan (38) are hot paparazzi property right now and pictures of them are fetching top dollar. So, understandably, the long lenses have been out in force to try to capture images of the couple on Canadian soil.
They’ve been pretty successful too. Harry was snapped disembarking from the rear of a Boeing 747 after arriving in Vancouver accompanied by two royal protection officers. And Meghan, with Archie in a sling, was pictured walking her dogs, Guy and Oz, in Horth Hill Regional Park close to the Vancouver Island mansion the Sussexes have been calling home since before Christmas.
Their former royal highnesses weren’t happy about it. Soon after the pics of the former actress emerged, lawyers for the couple threatened to sue media outlets for the unacceptable paparazzi shots.
A letter has reportedly been sent to UK news outlets warning that action will be taken if any photos are bought or published from paparazzi, which their lawyers described as harassment.
The photos of Meghan in the park were taken by photographers hiding in the nearby bushes, Sky News reports. There have also been attempts to try to catch pics of the royals and eight-month-old Archie inside their house using long-range lenses.
The Sussexes have been able to take legal action due to a privacy act in the Canadian province of British Columbia, where Vancouver is situated, which enables people to “take legal action against someone who unreasonably invades their privacy”.
