Prince William and Kate Middleton look to be mired in a privacy dispute, while Prince Harry is involved in a security matter in the United Kingdom.
The Prince and Princess of Wales recently returned from a private ski trip with their three children, but were allegedly dismayed to learn of a publicity hoax.
The parents of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are well-known for being extremely protective of their children and prioritizing their privacy.
While the British press has always been respectful of the Wales family's privacy, Paris Match, a French magazine, took a significant risk by publishing private photos from their holiday on Mustique Island.
The "exclusive" images showed the pair on the patio of a villa in Courchevel, an expensive French Alpine resort.
The magazine said that the family had been visiting the resort "in total discretion" for the previous 15 years. It was supposed to be their second trip to the Alps in the previous three months.
One of the photographs shows William beaming outside the chalet, clothed in shorts and a sweater, waving a bottle of wine at his wife and children. The publication described it as "total relaxation, far from the protocol of Buckingham Palace." That is how the royal couple views holidays."
While no official protest has been lodged on behalf of the future King and Queen, this will not be the royal couple's first run-in with French tabloids. According to The Telegraph, William and Kate may be following in Harry's footsteps by filing a lawsuit against the magazine.
The announcement comes as the Duke of Sussex struggles for police protection in the UK following a two-day judicial hearing for his appeal against the Home Office.
Following the court hearing, Harry gave a shocking interview in which he stated that his police protection had been withdrawn so that the Firm could keep him in the royal fold.
