Have you ever driven a real VIP to their house? Because I have. And FYI, shitty NBA players drive around their neighborhoods over and over again to make sure they're not being followed before they go to their place. It's not anything like the experience you and I have. And these two fuckers are stalked constantly. 

yeah, nothing says secretive and discreet like driving round and round over and over.

Of course it is, its easier.  They get someone to drive them and someone to protect them, they don't have to make a single decision themselves and their house is secure as fuck when they get there (in all likelihood), they have nothing to fear but fear itself.

You are forgetting a very big factor: this is the USA YAY where haters/insane people can and are armed and dangerous and go around shooting people for the lolz.

Also celebrities and the ilks with whom the Sussexes are staying DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO KEEP THE REST OF US FROM KNOWING WHERE THEY LIVE.

Plus, you know, even being at a police station didn't stop the crazy papilloma virii of the media.

But this was a public event.  This isn't them going to day care or the market.  This is them attending a gala charity event, which was publicized in advance, giving a speech, picking up an award, and posing for photos.  It is part of the program to be photographed coming and going.  

Which is fine. You get your picture taken at these events. They're public. But when you leave, especially when you're just trying to get home or to your hotel, you're now clearly being private. Following people doing so is gross. Why are we having to belabor this?

When people know you have a fuck ton of money, jewelry, etc. you're more likely to be someone exposed to a home invasion. No one wants to be Sean Taylor, for example. And these two have so much more than he did.

they have a security team, come on.  Also, they weren't staying at home, they don't take the crown jewels with them when they go away for a weekend.

this i very much agree with.  Once you leave a public event you should be off limits (if you want to be) even if you built your whole career utilising the press.  even the Kardashians, yak, deserve some peace.

So, you think the paps were going to rob them?  Isn't part of A list security having back up plans?  If it was such a huge issue that no one know where they were staying, why no contingency plan?  The Met Gala was just a couple of weeks ago, tons of A listers and not one incident.  I can't honestly remember the last incident in NYC with a celeb and paps.  Drama and chaos follow Harry and Meghan.

They still had jewelry on them and security couldn't prevent people from stalking them. Come on dude.

I agree that press intrusion is unpleasant and I am no fan of the press.

With H&M its the fucking exceptionalism they demonstrate that is so galling. They want to take advantage of the spotlight and live for the publicity, as long as it serves them, but act like screaming children as soon as even the slightest negative element of that occurs.

Press intrusion, being followed by paps, happens to almost all major celebs and the bigger your celebrity, the more you get followed. There is nothing unusual here. Dealing with the press is a double edged sword and unfortunately for them you need to play the diplomacy game with the press and get them on side or they will slaughter you. That is hardly secret information, and pretty much all the royals and other celebrities seem to understand that. It's baffling how bad at this press stuff these two really are.

Come on.  Meg was papped just a week ago out 'hiking' wearing $150K of jewelry, by Backgrid I might ad, and no chaos or theft ensued.

If you were being followed like that, would you not call it stalking?

You never know in the US when someone is going to rob you. It's the fucked up culture we've allowed to happen. Stephon Marbury. for example, got robbed for more than that. It happens. You have to be careful. And you don't know what these creepy fucks following you really want. 

Have you never been robbed?

I was robbed on the street once in Boston by a homeless person, no injury and he was prosecuted. 

Yes, indeed, the US is dangerous, this is why some people laughed when Harry proclaimed he was fleeing the non violent, press controlled UK for the free speech and millions of gun US for his 'safety'.

Because he felt unsafe. For himself and his wife. That's where this conversation should begin and end. That they're famous people would only magnify their fear. Like what the fuck are we talking about here?

It's how with feelings, nobody can prove either way how real they are, or whether they are deserved.

They might have felt fear, but the question is whether they should have felt that fear, given the lack of jeopardy they were experiencing, and are they just playing up the fear factor for their own benefit.

You're just believing the worst about them.

I've been rolled up on with someone with a gun. That's real fear. And I'm sure these two feel that all the time.

He 'felt' unsafe, but he wasn't.  He was always going to be much SAFER on every level, in the UK, in the security bubble of the queen in a country that is objectively safer than the US, objectively has more rules governing press intrusion than the US and objectively has almost no guns.  

What appears to have happened is that Harry never took the idea seriously that his government security would be removed once he quit, and this is his fault, no one elses.  He still hasn't accepted this which is why he's suing the government to get the security he feels he needs/deserves back.  Me, I find it an odd coincidence that this occurred at such an oportune moment for his lawsuit, but I'm the suspicious type.

The truth is, Harry was angry at his family and the media, he was angry that he didn't get his way of keeping all royal perks and being allowed to do million dollar deals on the side. He was angry he couldn't run his media relations the way he wanted to.  So he bounced out of the UK.  That is his right, but he didn't apparently comprehend what he was doing, elsewise he wouldn't always be trying to claw back his working royal perks.

Have you've never been there? Felt unsafe in a real way? Because if not, stop. Like hard stop.

Sure, you know the truth. Like WTF dude? It still sounds likes you're jealous.
