Suspected paparazzi investigated over surveillance of Harry's children's school
Two believed paparazzi were caught doing hours of reconnaissance at the school attended by Prince Harry and Meghan's children.
UK police launched an investigation after two men were spotted watching the school where Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet study. The men spent several hours near the school in a rented white van, wearing backpacks and checking the grounds.

The incident happened just weeks after the royal children moved to a different school closer to Harry and Meghan's new home in the Cotswolds. The family moved over security concerns about traffic during drop-off and pick-up.
