Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton may be royals, but they’re also parents.
And parents have only one duty: to protect their children at all costs.
That’s why the royals have taken legal action against a photographer who is apparently “harassing” Prince George and his nanny!

An incident at a park is all it took to prompt the legal steps they’re now taking. Buckingham Palace released a statement:
“The individual was spotted at a central London Park in the vicinity of Prince George, who was removed from the Park immediately. There is reason to suspect that the individual may [have] been placing Prince George under surveillance and monitoring his daily routines for a period of time. [The incident in the park] prompted Their Royal Highnesses to seek reasonable assurances from the individual about his behavior.”
We get that paparazzi make their living by photographing celebrities, but tracking the whereabouts of a 1-year-old for several days is crossing the line. The Palace said:
“The Duke and Duchess understand the particular public role that Prince George will one day inherit but while he is young, he must be permitted to lead as ordinary a life as possible. No parent would tolerate the suspicion of someone pursuing and harassing their child and [caregiver] whilst their child is playing in a public park or going about their daily activities.”
We couldn’t have said it any better ourselves.
We’re really glad they’re taking steps to protect the future monarch!
God save the (future) King!
