DHAKA: Lawyers for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have asked a photographer to ‘cease harassing’ Prince George and his nanny.

A Kensington Palace statement said they were prompted to take action after the man was spotted near the 14-month-old in a central London park.

It said, ‘No parent would tolerate the suspicion of someone pursuing and harassing their child and carer’.

The couple are not taking legal action at this stage, reports the BBC.

The palace statement added, ‘There is reason to suspect that the individual may have been placing Prince George under surveillance and monitoring his daily routines for a period of time’.

‘The duke and duchess understand the particular public role that Prince George will one day inherit but while he is young, he must be permitted to lead as ordinary a life as possible.’
