The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate have commenced legal proceedings against a photographer for allegedly taking shots of their son, Prince George, according ta report by Daily Mail.
Although this is not the first time that William and his family’s privacy would be “violated”, it is reported that the royal couple want their son, George to have a normal childhood, devoid of threat of paparazzi and other forms of surveillance.
A spokesman for the couple said: ‘The Duke and Duchess have taken legal steps to ask that an individual ceases harassing and following both Prince George and his nanny as they go about their ordinary daily lives.
“An incident last week has prompted their royal highnesses to seek reasonable assurances from the individual about his behaviour. 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 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 carer whilst their child is playing in a public park or going about their daily activities.”
Reports also say that the said photographer has been reprimanded in the past over his behaviour as regards the royal family.
