Harry has also been fighting for government-provided police protection for his family in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s an obvious reason this particular issue hits close to home for Harry.<\/p>\n<p>His mother, Princess Diana, died in a 1997 car crash after the vehicle she was traveling in was pursued by paparazzi. Harry has frequently spoken about the impact of his mother\u2019s death and has compared the media treatment of Meghan to what Diana experienced.<\/p>\n<p>Now, he\u2019s watching his own children become the focus of unwanted attention.<\/p>\n<p>The situation also comes with an awkward royal-family footnote: Harry\u2019s brother, Prince William, has faced similar issues with European paparazzi and has previously won privacy cases involving unauthorized photographs of his family.<\/p>\n<p>For Harry and Meghan, however, the message appears to be pretty straightforward: Whatever interest exists in their famous family, they don\u2019t want it following Archie and Lilibet through the school gates.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, the media will receive that message loud and clear.<\/p>\n<div class=\"thg-endcard\" hidden=\"\" aria-label=\"Get the Hollywood Gossip app\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thg-endcard-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehollywoodgossip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/thg-ios-app-icon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thg-endcard-icon lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehollywoodgossip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/thg-ios-app-icon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" loading=\"lazy\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"thg-endcard-title\">Get the app \u2014 celeb news first<\/span><span class=\"thg-endcard-sub\">Push alerts the second a story breaks \u00b7 4.8\u2605 \u00b7 Free<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"thg-endcard-get\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/apple-store\/id372387225?pt=367523&amp;ct=web-endcard-cta&amp;mt=8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Get the App<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehollywoodgossip.com\/2026\/09\/prince-harry-meghan-markle-bash-media-following-intrusion-at-kids-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reading Time: 2 minutes When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to the UK after living in the US for six years, many wondered how long it would take for the couple\u2019s old security fears to resurface.
