Will and Kate claim paparazzi resort to 'surveillance' for photos of George

On one occasion last week a photographer set up a "hide" in his car as he staked out a children’s play area.

Kensington Palace, the home of British royal couple Will and Kate, has accused paparazzi photographers of harassing Prince George and Princess Charlotte, accusing them of going to “extreme lengths” to get pictures and urging the media not to use the images.

In a letter issued today, the palace said photographers were using surveillance techniques to try to get pictures of the young royals.
