Paparazzi risking royal children's safety? New law demanded

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's potential UK move has not only sparked fresh security concerns but has also put law enforcement on high alert to ensure the security of the royal couple and their children — especially amid Harry's bid for police protection.

The Sussexes are facing a fresh security scare after some photographers working for a European press agency were spotted circling the perimeter of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's new school, prompting a police investigation.

It's the second such incident since the family relocated the children just weeks ago, and comes with Harry's bid for reinstated police protection still under review.

However, there are rules in place for UK paparazzi, as they cannot photograph minors and the British press wouldn't print pictures of Archie and Lilibet at school.

The issue lies with the fact that EU counterparts do not have the same restrictions in place.

The latest development has sparked a fierce new debate, with many demanding strict legislation to stop paparazzi from stalking royal children's schools, while others insist the Sussexes must be granted proper police protection to prevent any untoward incident, especially after the Duke's security plea made headlines around the globe.

As the youngest son of King Charles and a former serving member of the British forces, Prince Harry remains firmly in the spotlight.

Critics argue that relentless coverage of royal children threatens their peace and privacy, calling it an unnecessary intrusion that now needs strong legal action.
