If anything has become clear in recent months, it is that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are ready to defend the privacy of their teeth and nails. Not in vain, between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle there is already a considerable list of lawsuits against tabloids and paparazzi, who, according to them, have crossed the boundaries of their personal lives. Fortunately, one of these trials took place after the duchess reached an agreement with Splash News and Picture Agency, which had been accused of taking a series of photos with Archie in her arms while walking her dogs. in Canada. The images were particularly resonant after they were taken when Prince Harry stayed 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 agreement, the agency agreed not to take photographs of the Duke of Sussex or her son Archie -which would take action if the photo agency had left the situation in which it entered on 1 July, in a situation unrelated to this case-. The agreement was reached during a remote hearing, in which an open statement on Meghan’s privacy and data protection was read against Splash News and Picture Agency. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reached a successful settlement in legal disputes that began earlier this year against the paparazzi agency Splash UK. The agreement is a clear sign 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 to advance in the British legal system, “said a spokesman for the couple.
As the Sussex spokesman explained, this is just one of the moves the couple has made to show that they will do whatever it takes to defend their privacy. The images referred to in this legal battle are those in which a highly protected Meghan was seen carrying Archie in her kangaroo as she walked her dogs in Horth Hill Regional Park., a place close to their residence in British Columbia, Canada. Along with them were members of the Duchess’s security team. The problem with the photos is that, according to the couple’s legal team, that’s it they were taken to a private family outing and that it was not in the public interest.

The other Sussex dispute
This is just one of several legal confrontations the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have taken to protect their privacy. While the same photos put the American affiliate of the agency in trouble, there is another lawsuit against an unidentified paparazzi for taking pictures of Archie in the house where the Sussexes lived 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 publishing the letter the duchess wrote to her father. The prince has just fought his own fight against the same group for publishing an article in October last year, while he has two other tabloids on trial for the alleged invasion of his mobile phone.
