Prince William and Kate warn paparazzi to stop 'harassing' Prince George
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have sent legal warnings to two photographers who are said to be "harassing" Prince George.
Buckingham Palace confirmed that lawyers for the royal couple have contacted two photographers with letters requesting that they stop following their 14-month-old and his nanny, arguing that their "activities are tantamount to harassment".

It follows an incident last week where an individual was seen at a park "in the vicinity" of Prince George.
A spokesperson for Prince William and Kate Middleton said: "The Duke and Duchess have taken legal steps to ask that an individual ceases harassing and following both Prince George and his nanny as they go about their ordinary daily lives.
"An incident last week has prompted Their Royal Highnesses to seek reasonable assurances from the individual about his behavior. 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 statement added: "No parent would tolerate the suspicion of someone pursuing and harassing their child and carer whilst their child is playing in a public park or going about their daily activities."![Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince George on a visit to the Sensational Butterflies exhibition at the Natural History Museum, London]()
The Duchess is currently expecting her second child with the Duke, and has been suffering severe morning sickness hyperemesis gravidarum.
The 32-year-old, who suffered from the same condition during her last pregnancy, has had to pull out of several public engagements and has been receiving treatment at Kensington Palace.
Clarence House announced yesterday that the Duchess was unable to attend the launch of The Clore Art Room at Barlby Primary School in London.
