If anything has become clear in recent months, it is that the Dukes of Sussex are willing to defend their privacy in cape and sword. Not for nothing, between the Prince Harry i Meghan Markle there is an already considerable list of legal proceedings against tabloids and paparazzi, who according to them, have crossed the boundaries of their personal lives. Fortunately, one of these lawsuits has come to fruition, after the Duchess reached an agreement with Splash News and Picture Agency, who had been accused of taking a series of photographs with Archie in her arms while walking. to his dogs during his stay in Canada. The images were especially resonant as they were taken when Prince Harry remained in Britain for what was called the Sandringham Summit, in which they agreed on the details of his departure from the British Royal Family.

In the agreement, the agency agreed not to take photographs of her, the Duke of Sussex or her son Archie -which would come into action in the event that the photo agency came out of the situation in which it entered on July 1, in a situation unrelated to this case-. The deal was made at a remote hearing, in which an open statement was read regarding Meghan’s privacy and data protection against Splash News and Picture Agency. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reached a successful settlement in the legal litigation that began earlier this year against the paparazzi agency Splash UK. The agreement is a clear signal that the illegal, invasive and intrusive behavior of the paparazzi will not be tolerated and that the couple takes these issues seriously, as any family would. A similar and simultaneous complaint against Splash US, a subsidiary of Splash UK, continues in the British legal system, “a spokesman for the couple said.
As the Sussex spokesman explained, this is just one of the moves the couple has made to show they will do whatever it takes to defend their privacy. The images referred to in this legal fight are those in which a very sheltered Meghan was seen carrying Archie in her kangaroo, while walking her dogs in the Horth Hill Regional Park, A place close to the residence they inhabited in British Columbia in Canada. With them were also members of the Duchess’s security team. The problem with the photographs is that according to the legal team of the couple, it is that they were taken on a private family outing and that this was not in the public interest.

The other Sussex litigation
This is just one of several legal confrontations the Dukes of Sussex have undertaken to protect their privacy. While the same photographs have put the agency’s U.S. subsidiary in trouble, there is another lawsuit against an unidentified paparazzi for taking pictures of Archie in the house the Sussex inhabited when they arrived in California.
Of course, the most notorious lawsuit is the one Meghan has against Associated Newspapers, and two of her tabloids for the publication of the letter the Duchess wrote to her father. The Prince has just embarked on his own battle against the same group for the publication of an article last October, while he has sued two tabloids for the alleged invasion of his mobile phone.
