Cas Stark Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 3 minutes ago, Tywin et al. said: It never should be. You put yourself out there on Insta or at the Met Gala. You should not be chased around by creepy fuckers while you're driving somewhere privately. Like do you not get how Bruce Willis' family is horrified that people try to take pictures of him when he now rarely is in public? If it happened that way, that is. It seems very strange, I mean they were photographed copiously at the event. For what reason would any paps feel the need to chase them, let alone for more than two hours, to get more photos of them looking exactly the same as when they were photographed at the award, in the car or going back to their hotel?

So it was about as high stakes as that chase in Boba Fett. And they took a cab. Righto. So not as concerned for his family's security as he would have everyone believe. And can I just say that I am generally well disposed to H&M. But what the fuck are they doing, getting into a cab in NYC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think. When you attend a public event, the understanding is you will get photographed. When you leave, there needs to be an understanding that you're now being private. But these people chase you around all the time if you're famous and think they can make a buck off of you. And yes there are many who would creep on you for that long. Are you that unfamiliar with the culture? These bastards will take pictures of your kids leaving school if they think they can sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed my point. There is literally no reason to 'chase' them in the car unless there would have been some story related to where they were staying. Otherwise, you already got the photos at the event itself. The entire set up does not make sense, especialy the idea any photographers spent more than two hours chasing them through the streets of Manhattan to get what? Again, ,they were already photographed at the event, photographed arriving and photographed leaving. If its true they took a taxi, I again can't imagine why they did that when they always travel in their own cars with their own security. Think.

The incident did not result in a crash, the source said. ... According to the account provided by the couple’s team, the incident involved around half a dozen blacked-out vehicles with unidentified people driving recklessly and endangering the convoy and everyone around them. It could have been fatal, their team said. ''''' A local law enforcement source corroborated some of the couple’s account, saying that a group of paparazzi followed Harry and Meghan in cars, motorcycles, scooters after they left the event on Tuesday. A protective team from the New York Police Department (NYPD) followed Harry and Meghan in another car, and was forced to make some avoiding maneuvers to get away from the paparazzi, the source said. Paparazzi on scooters and bikes zoomed down the sidewalk to keep up, the source said. There were many close calls, including short stops between front and backs of cars, but none resulted in a crash, the source added. https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/17/americas/harry-meghan-car-crash-intl/index.html Doesn't sound like they just took a taxi back to the hotel.

Zorral Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 It does seem a lot of the 'information' was incorrect, including they were staying a hotel. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/may/17/prince-harry-and-meghan-in-near-catastrophic-car-chase-with-paparazzi Quote .... The duke and duchess are said to accept there is a heightened level of attention when they are out at public events. In this case, they were said to have exited and entered the venue publicly and paparazzi got their pictures, according to a source. But there are fears that the chase that ensued could have been fatal. According to the source, the chase involved half a dozen blacked-out vehicles with unidentified people driving recklessly and endangering the convoy and everyone around them. Traffic violations were said to have included driving on the sidewalk, running red lights, reversing down a one-way street, driving while on the phone, driving while photographing and illegally blocking a moving vehicle. It was claimed that individuals involved were confronted by uniformed police multiple times and sped off to continue the pursuit. The family was staying at a private residence and did not want to compromise the security of their friend’s home, a source said. There is said to be footage taken from security along with other evidence to support the timeline and circumstances. .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas Stark Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 “On [Tuesday] evening, May 16, the NYPD assisted the private security team protecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex,” an NYPD spokesperson told The Post in a statement Wednesday. “There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests in regard.” ........ In other words, Harry and Meg's tale of a 'near catastrophic' car case is highly exaggerated. No surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd like to think the NYPD would arrest people for traffic violations, but don't we all wish the police did their job better sometimes. They undoubtedly chose their words to make their statement make headlines, but don't forget: Harry's mum was killed by pappers. I really don't blame them for going big to highlight that they really should just fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywin et al. Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 Yeah seriously, even if you want to assume the worst about the two and their public statements, is it not obvious they were terrified because Harry's mom died in that exact way? And there are several accounts now that they were being chased by these scumbags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas Stark Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I stipulate that Harry is extremely paranoid and hates the media. One might suggest he would feel better if he lived a quieter, more private life out of the spotlight. It is clear that the statement by their spokesperson massively exaggerated what happened. A 'near catastrophic two plus hour car chase' that resulted in not a single arrest or even a ticket? Alrighty then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 .... The pair’s spokesperson claimed that paparazzi were driving on the sidewalk and running red lights while pursuing their vehicle. A source told “Page Six” that “it started off with 12 paparazzi, then ended up with four chasing” them. The paper also reports they exited their SUV and moved into a yellow cab in an effort to escape the chase, and photos circulated on social media showing the couple and Markle’s mother in a taxi. .... https://www.curbed.com/2023/05/prince-harry-meghan-markle-car-chase-manhattan.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 They did go to a police station: https://slate.com/human-interest/2023/05/harry-meghan-paparazzi-car-chase.html Quote . . . . The Washington Post interviewed a taxi driver, Sukhcharn Singh, who said that he picked the group up around 11 p.m., after their security guard hailed him outside the NYPD’s 19th precinct on East 67th St. Singh confirmed the car was pursued by two vehicles, but added, “I don’t think I would call it a chase. I never felt like I was in danger. It wasn’t like a car chase in a movie. They were quiet and seemed scared but it’s New York—it’s safe.” . . .

Zorral Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 My goodness how good some of ya all are at blaming the victims. And this is how there can be, and was, a nearly 2-hour chase in Manhattan, despite the cops doing their best to stop it. Driving here is ... different. The obstacles everywhere for cars and trux, etc., that bikers try to circumvent in ways that cars and trucks cannot, which includes driving the wrong way on one-way streets, dashing between the obstacles of restaurant sheds lining the streets and taking up all the pedestrian and car space, and on and on and on. The latest details -- https://deadline.com/2023/05/prince-harry-meghan-markle-involved-in-near-catastrophic-car-chase-with-paparazzi-1235369929/ Quote .... Despite doubters, the New York Police Department has confirmed that there was indeed a paparazzi pursuit of the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle last night. As more details of the late night “near catastrophic car chase,” as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s spokesperson termed it, emerge, the NYPD put their own stamp on the incident: On Tuesday evening, May 16, the NYPD assisted the private security team protecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests in regard. Miraculously while no one was hurt or taken to hospital, the approximately 120-minute chase seemed to involve cars, scooters and motorbikes whipping up on sidewalks and in front of the couple’s vehicle after they exited a charity event at the Ziegfeld Theater in midtown Manhattan. Harry and Meghan’s private security and a trope pf NYPD officers attempted evasive maneuvers, and things could have gotten messy, law enforcement sources say. .... Mlle.

Please note there wouldn't be anything to 'screech' about if Harry and Meg didn't release a semi hysterical statement about a two plus hour 'near catastrophic' car chase, listing a bunch of violations that apparently the NYPD didn't care about as they made no arrests nor handed out any tickets. According to TMZ their SUV was driving 80 MPH or the FDR. Not exactly the safest decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 They didn't catch them, as the stories (and the cops last night) told us. People are just unfrackin'believable in their animus regarding Meghan, who, honestly, doesn't deserve this shite. Why not go after hundreds of others who are in the frackin' media every single day for doing actual terrible evil stuff every single day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both entitled, privileged, inauthentic, self aggrandizing and dishonest. Plus, they consistently seek the spotlight while claiming the opposite. What surprises me is that anyone doesn't see through them and believes their version of literally anything, when the vast majority of the time their version is easily proven to be partially or wholly false. I absolutely knew when I read their statement morning that no such two plus hour car chase that was nearly catastrophic happened in midtown and wasn't covered on the news last night. Indeed, no such 'car chase' occurred, the Sussex version is majorly exaggerated for the very purpose of creating sympathy and parallels with Princess Diana. It's kind of despicable actually how they cosplay her all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
