Prince William chased by ‘threatening’ paparazzi

Photographers follow Wills and Kate Middleton home

Prince William and Kate Middleton were chased by paparazzi on motorbikes and in cars – leaving the Prince angry and shaken.

He had been out partying with his girlfriend Kate, 25, at Boujis nightclub in London on Friday night, but was hounded by photographers on his way home.

‘Prince William was concerned by the threatening behaviour of the paparazzi in London,’ Paddy Harverson, the prince’s spokesman, tells the Daily Express.

‘He and Kate were pursued in his car by photographers on motorcycles, in vehicles and on foot.’

Prince William, 25, is said to be angry and upset by the experience.

‘The aggressive pursuit was potentially dangerous and worrying for them,’ Paddy says.

‘It seems incomprehensible, particularly at this time, that this behaviour is still going on.’

The matter has now been raised with the Press Complaints Commission.
