Kim Kardashian West is not new to the harsher side of paparazzi. From paps keeping a tab on them 24*7 to being followed around, the Kardashians and Jenner’s are aware about the happenings. Recently, Kim Kardashian sympathised with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for the intense media scrutiny the two have faced since their marriage in 2018. The paparazzi coverage on Harry and Meghan’s personal life reached dizzying heights when the Duchess’s private letter to her father was published.
An Australian outlet, The Sunday Project, recently asked the reality star whether she felt “some sympathy” for the pair. Kim replied, “I think everyone has their own journey. I think their journey is extremely personal, with – you know, what his mother experienced and how her life was so affected by the spotlight and by paparazzi,” she said, referring to Harry’s late mother Princess Diana.
Kim also cited an example of her kids and said, “I don’t think anyone can really understand what that’s like except for them. But I think as I’m older and as I have kids, what I would want for them is just the safest place. I can definitely empathise with their need for having a secure, safe place and taking time for themselves and having privacy when they need it.”
In October, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sued British tabloids for releasing the private letter. In a strong statement, Prince Harry also spoke about the media coverage that led to his mum’s death and how he fears the same happening to his wife Meghan Markle. Recently, Meghan and her team of lawyers have also alleged that certain British tabloids also published false details about the renovations carried out at Harry and Meghan’s new home Frogmore Cottage.
