Unnamed photographers banned from pursuing star in the street or loitering outside his London home

One Direction's Harry Styles has won a rare court order banning some members of the paparazzi from pursuing him in the street or waiting outside his house.

The 19-year-old asked the high court to intervene after trying to persuade the photographers to change their behaviour, according to his lawyer.

The order prevents unnamed photographers from pursuing Styles by car or motorcycle, placing him under surveillance or loitering within 50m of his London home.

He remains happy to do that, as he always has. Rather, it is the method or tactics which have been used by a certain type of photographer."
