Prince Harry's ongoing battle with the British tabloid media has now spilled over to America. A source close to Prince Harry said earlier this month that photos of his two-year-old daughter Elizabeth were released without facial blur for privacy reasons.
As a result, Prince Harry decided to drop Lily's privacy lawsuit after an American newspaper published a photo of Lily at the Fourth of July parade, showing her unmistakable face. rice field.
The case was dropped as the court sought evidence of a biological relationship between Lily and Harry.
The Montecito parade was a rare public appearance for Lily. The family secretly watched the event from the sidewalk of the public road.
Hours after the parade, a photo of Princess Lily in Prince Harry's arms was released by the New York Post and Page Six newspapers, both owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. The Mail Online also published images, but with a distinct difference in its coverage of the transatlantic. British publications blurred the young princess's face, but the New York Post and Page Six left her image unedited. This disparity highlights important and interesting differences between British and American media culture and media law. For Harry, this situation left a deep scar on his childhood, and he hated paparazzi pictures, especially with his children. This disgust stems from Princess Diana's experience of being relentlessly pursued by paparazzi, and Prince Harry himself, who encountered media intrusion during his childhood. The paparazzi photographer who took pictures of Lily and her family was reportedly hired by Duchess Meghan. The images were then sold to tabloids through the paparazzi photo agency Backgrid.
Additionally, there is evidence that Meghan sent money from her own bank account to the paparazzi on July 4th. In recent months, Prince Harry has been at odds with Backgrid and Rupert Murdoch's media for his involvement in the release of unedited photos of his daughter. Prince Harry has been relentless in blaming the media for violating his and his family's privacy.
Insiders say the photo in question was taken without Prince Harry and Lily's consent. Attempts have also been made to persuade the press to edit her images to protect her princess. However, Lily's request to blur out her face was apparently not met by the New York Post. Some royal fans have speculated that Meghan deliberately allowed Lily's face to appear in newspapers while Prince Harry was unaware of her decision.
This discrepancy is due to differences in US and UK law regarding publishers. In the United Kingdom, data protection law, based on European data protection legislation introduced by the Human Rights Act 1988, recognizes the potential right to privacy even in public places when it concerns an individual's private life. I'm here. However, there is no such law in the United States.
It's worth noting that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan welcomed her daughter to Santa Barbara in June 2021.
Some of Prince Harry's friends have expressed their disappointment after it was revealed that Prince Harry didn't attend the wedding of his supposed best man, Jack Mann. In his memoir, Prince Harry notes that he appointed Prince William as a chaperone, along with Prince William, to create an image of brotherly unity. The wedding took place in a rural church in Suffolk.
