Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly failed to obtain images from Tuesday’s “near catastrophic” paparazzi incident from photo agency Backgrid.
The legal team representing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex demanded that Backgrid “immediately provide us with copies of all photos, videos, and/or films” of the events in New York, according to TMZ.
Backgrid clearly felt the former royals were misinformed about the American way of handling such situations, and gave them a nudge in the right direction.
“In America, as I’m sure you know, property belongs to the owner of it: Third parties cannot just demand it be given to them, as perhaps Kings can do,” Backgrid wrote in a letter to Harry and Markle, per TMZ.

“Perhaps you should sit down with your client and advise them that his English rules of royal prerogative to demand that the citizenry hand over their property to the Crown were rejected by this country long ago,” they wrote.
“We stand by our founding fathers,” Backgrid wrote, in defiance of their demands exactly how the Founders would’ve wanted.
