Why cant the press , paparazzi etc leave the royals alone .

I understand where the sussexes are coming from and feel quite sorry for them .Just because their royalty it should not be legal for them to be hounded by the press ,paparazzi etc .They have rights and a right to a private life .We need to bring in laws to stop the constant hounding and jail anyone who stalks them when they are having private time .The only time the press should be allowed is during royal tours visits etc but should not be allowed when they are having private time holidays etc .There should be severe sentences handed down to anyone trying to disrupt their personnal time .

I don’t agree. There are limits, especially regarding children, which should be, and usually are, respected. But otherwise, if you are a public figure you have to accept that your life is to some extent public. In one sense, I suppose, it is unlucky if you are born into royalty and don’t like it, but in another sense you are born into an extremely privileged position and have to take the rough with the smooth. The one respect in which I do have sympathy for the Duke of Sussex is that his mother died in tragic circumstances when he was young. As to the Duchess, God help us, she has only herself to blame.
