Story summary

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children, Archie (7) and Lilibet (5), were targeted by "certain European paparazzi" at their school in England, according to the couple’s spokesperson. Security staff observed two young men walking around the perimeter of the new school, stopping occasionally to look into the grounds. These individuals were later identified as international photographers working for a European press agency and had been using a rented white van. The incident occurred near RAF Fairford, less than 48 hours after five men from London were arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorism act there. The spokesperson denounced the paparazzi’s behavior as "extraordinarily reckless," especially given recent security concerns surrounding schools in Britain.
