Prince Harry just won “substantial damages” from a picture agency that used a helicopter to take photos of his and Meghan Markle’s home.
Splash News is a major agency that publishes paparazzi photos of celebrities, among other images. In January, the company chartered a helicopter to fly low over Meghan and Harry’s house and take photos, CNN reports. They photographed the living room, the dining room, and “directly into the bedroom,” according to a statement from Buckingham Palace. The images later showed up in the press in the UK.
Because of this extreme paparazzi situation, Meghan and Harry had to move out of their house.
“The syndication and publication of the photographs very seriously undermined the safety and security of the Duke and the home to the extent that they are no longer able to live at the property,” the palace’s statement said.
Splash News apologized to the couple for the intrusion, and the company also paid damages to the Duke.
