It is ironic that Prince Harry moved to the US partly to escape the British press.

The paparazzi pursuit of royals has long ago stopped being a feature of UK public life. And high-profile figures have less right to privacy in the US than they do in the UK, thanks to the First Amendment.

But that said, British newspapers are partly to blame for encouraging the paparazzi pursuit of Harry, Meghan and her mother around Manhattan on Tuesday night by helping to create a market for the images.
