Meghan Markle threaten to sue over photos of her hiking with Archie

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new life seem to be getting getting off to a bumpy start, as Meghan threatens to sue after photos were taken of her walking Archie and her dogs in Canada.

On Tuesday, paparazzi photos taken of Markle hiking with their infant son, Archie, and two dogs on Vancouver Island appeared on the cover of the U.K.’s The Sun as well as on other outlets, including The Daily Mail. The photos were also shared online and this didn’t go down well with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

A legal representative for the couple — who stepped down as senior members of the royal family — sent a warning letter to British news outlets saying “action will be taken” if the photos are published or purchased.

According to NBC News, the law firm Schillings Partners said that a paparazzo hid in the bushes and spied on Markle to get the photos, which were taken Monday.

And while the former actress has a grin on her face in the published pictures, she did not agree to have her picture taken, deeming it “harassment.”

It also said that paparazzi have been camped outside where the couple is staying in Canada (Harry joined his family on Tuesday after finalizing “Megxit” plans) and taking photos with telephoto lenses.

The cease and desist letter says, “There are serious safety concerns about how the paparazzi are driving and the risk to life they pose.” Of course, Princess Diana — Harry’s mother — died in a 1997 car crash while trying to escape paparazzi.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle say the photographer who took the photos was hiding in bushes and spying on Meghan. They also say photographers have set up camp, armed with telephoto lenses, outside their home on Vancouver Island.

Back home in England, strict privacy laws protect the Royals from being photographed in public when they’re not making official appearances. But they are now in Canada so the rules may not apply there.
