Prince George 'harassment' warning to photographer | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Lawyers for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have asked a photographer to "cease harassing" Prince George and his nanny. | |
A Kensington Palace statement said they were prompted to take action after the man was spotted near the 14-month-old in a central London park. | |
It said: "No parent would tolerate the suspicion of someone pursuing and harassing their child and carer." | |
The couple are not taking legal action at this stage. | |
BBC royal editor Nicholas Witchell said palace officials believe the photographer's actions amount to "stalking". | |
Our correspondent said the man had been warned off by royal protection officers and that he had also been spoken to "over a number of years" in relation to the Royal Family. | |
The palace statement added: "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." |
