Harry and Meghan in 'near catastrophic' car chase - spokesperson

[bots]

Prince Harry, Meghan and her mother were involved in a "near catastrophic car chase" involving paparazzi, a spokesperson for the prince has said.

The incident happened after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended an awards ceremony in New York on Tuesday.

In a statement, the prince's spokesperson said the "relentless pursuit" lasted for over two hours.

They added it resulted in near collisions with other drivers on the road, pedestrians and police officers.

"While being a public figure comes with a level of interest from the public, it should never come at the cost of anyone's safety," the spokesperson said.

"Dissemination of these images, given the ways in which they were obtained, encourages a highly intrusive practice that is dangerous to all in involved."

The New York Police Department (NYPD) did not immediately confirm knowledge of the incident.

The incident is said to have happened after the couple's first public appearance together since the King's Coronation earlier this month.

Accompanied by Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, they attended the Ms Foundation Women of Vision's 50th anniversary gala event.

and by the sounds of it there were several hit and runs in the event, so will they get done for leaving the scene of an accident?

This story is such bread and butter for either side of Harry and Megan lol

For their supporters it shows what they have to put up with on a daily basis and that a lot of their concerns are very legitimate

For people who don't like them this comes across as a pretty hysterical account full of exaggeration given the police seem to have no idea about it

Some paparazzi are very aggressive. This sounds really scary.

NY PD said that the paps made H & M's journey difficult, but there were no collisions, injuries or arrests

[Glenn.]

That’s alright then ain’t it

[UserSince2005]

Probably all a set up to pretend people care

[GoldHeart]

I don't condone paparazzi harassment and stalking. But everyone else seems to be contradicting H& M 's recollection of events :suspect: , except for their spokesperson . I'm wondering if it's an exaggerated story?. And of course Princess Diana's death & car crash gets brought up again.

Even the taxi they jumped in ,the taxi driver said he didn't feel chased .....So that's interesting.

[Crimson Dynamo]

They came out of the fake blow smoke up Megan's ass for marketing and PR purposes "awards" and got into a security car, it then drove to a police station where they got out and got into a taxi. The taxi drove around for 20 mins and they went back to the station.

TMZ have released the Taxi dashcam and it contradicts what the awful couple's "spokesperson" has said :joker:


At the end of the day the driver of their car was not off his face on drinkand they both wore seatbelts so not sure what they are blathering on about

[Beso]

That’s alright then ain’t it

Yes.

[Cherie]

The SUV they were in had blacked out windows ....

[bots]

they were obviously trying to make it sound like Diana being chased

[Crimson Dynamo]

they were obviously trying to make it sound like Diana being chased

Diana die from not wearing a seatbelt and getting into car with a drunk driver

The "paparazzi" have nothing to do with her death

Its as irrelevant as blaming cars or bridges

[Beso]

The SUV they were in had blacked out windows ....

Racist

[Cherie]

Harry has been spinning that narrative for years.... funny how the late Queen, Kate or Princess Anne do not have these issues...its only Meghan that is at risk apparently

[Crimson Dynamo]

I mean Prince Edward's wife never stops even for pedestrians

[rusticgal]

I watch with baited breath to see how this story unfolds….but it’s being steered down the path of what happened to Diana…the narrative they are transfixed with..

[Oliver_W]

Y'know, I have to wonder why the paps cared so much about getting a photo of them?

And also, why were they so desperate to not be photographed?

[Cherie]

Racist

I like to keep up with my reputation :laugh:

[thesheriff443]

It’s a blessing that this pair of clowns no longer live in this country.

It is beginning to sound like an overexaggeration.

I do get it would be scary but perhaps this isn't as it's being presented.

No, it was nothing like the night your mother died Harry, no matter how much you want parallels drawn with that disaster for your own ends.

The serial liars strike again. Her mother so terrified she fell asleep in the back of the taxi :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I think the most amusing thing is that in the supposed 2 hours, they never left the centre of new york and the max traffic speed is about 20 mph, not to mention all the traffic lights :laugh:

The irony is ...the paparazzi is worse in America,and that's where they moved to start a new life . But I definitely think they exaggerated the car chase ....as the only person to back up their claims is their own spokesperson :rolleyes:.

But like I said....I don't condone anyone getting followed and harassed by the paparazzi. However it was predictable that Princess Diana's death would get compared to this :bored: .

[jet]

Actually the taxi driver himself confirmed that the chase wasn't as crazy as H& M made out , yes they were followed... nobody is denying that though.

Also the NYC mayor said he finds it hard to believe the chase was as long as 2 hours, he acknowledges that even 10 minutes would be chaotic. But how did H& M have time to switch vehicles in the busy hectic streets of NY especially while being harassed so heavily by paparazzi ??? .

It is interesting that when huge stories that favour Trump come about, you're always distracted by nonsense stories like this. But if it's a negative story on Trump, like the one last week, you have a lot to say.

What I'm saying is that this is quite clear to me a distraction story.

I think this is a mission given to Harry and Meghan. When they need a smokescreen, just pull out this couple to distract. The normies love a celebrity gossip story.

So what was the story that played in favour of Trump in the past couple of days?

Is it that Trump stans don't have the basic moral fibre to condemn him for being a sexual predator? Stretching the definition of a "positive story" there. Positive for Trump, negative for basic human decency.

[GoldHeart]

Has anyone seen the images of them in the car ? . Meghan is smiling and Harry had his phone out like he's doing selfies , Doria is the only one who looks serious in the photo.

But who knows maybe that photo was taken before they felt "threatened" & " chased" . I'm not denying they were followed,but I think it's been hyped up more .

Baseless - I said that Russian bots set by those with vested interests helped Trump to win the election (I saw that part with my own eyes, they were all over Twitter) but I've never claimed nor suggested that Trump colluded in that or had direct involvement. It can be both true that certain interests in Russia wanted Trump in the Whitehouse AND that Trump didn't actively collude with the Russians.

You throw an awful lot of baseless stuff about what members have said in the past around lately Alf. It's a bit hypocritical.

Police Sources Weigh in on Harry and Meghans ‘car chase’ in NYC.

Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, claim they were involved in a "near catastrophic car chase" while being pursued by paparazzi in Manhattan on Tuesday night.

A spokesperson for the couple, who were returning from an event along with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, accused paparazzi of being "highly aggressive" and driving on the sidewalk and running red lights during a two-hour "relentless pursuit" of the famous pair. Police sources, however, are saying the episode did not involve the amount of paparazzi the spokesperson claimed, and that police interacted with the couple for no more than 20 minutes.

"While being a public figure comes with a level of interest from the public, it should never come at the cost of anyone's safety," the spokesperson said.
Police sources told ABC News two New York Police Department detectives were present at the Ziegfeld when Harry and Meghan emerged from the event and drove alongside the couple's private vehicle to get them home.
Along the way, police sources said photographers on bicycles are visible on security cameras, but not the kind of caravan described by sources close to Harry and Meghan.

The police interaction with the couple lasted no more than 20 minutes, according to police sources. If the episode lasted the two hours Meghan and Harry say it did, it was because their security felt the need to take a circuitous route back to where they were staying, the sources said.
The NYPD is running down reports that members of the paparazzi had license plates covered on their motorcycles, scooters and cars, and that they were driving on sidewalks and backward on streets.

At one point, Harry and Meghan's private security detail believed there was a car following them, so they drove toward the 19th Precinct, which is close to where the couple is staying, and pulled into a driveway, according to sources.
Private security flagged a yellow cab and Harry, Meghan and a security guard climbed in. The cab circled the block and returned to the precinct, unable to shake the photographers, according to sources.
At no time did Harry and Meghan enter the police precinct, the sources said.
Celebrity news agency Backgrid USA said it received photos and videos from four freelance photographers -- three who were in cars and one on a bike -- who were covering Harry and Meghan's stay Tuesday night, and it also refuted claims of a "near catastrophic car chase."

According to the photographers, "there were no near-collisions or near-crashes during this incident," Backgrid USA said in a statement. "The photographers have reported feeling that the couple was not in immediate danger at any point."
Some of the photos "even show Meghan Markle smiling inside a cab," the statement said.
The photographers claimed that one of the four SUVs in Harry's security escort "was driving in a manner that could be perceived as reckless," including blocking off streets, according to Backgrid.

Re the taxi:

"For at least the few minutes they were in Mr Singh's car, he did not believe they were in
danger. "I don't think that's true, I think that's all exaggerated and stuff like that. Don't
read too much into that," Mr Singh said of the statement. ... The paparazzi
were not being aggressive during his drive, he said. "They were behind us. I mean, they stayed
on top of us, that was pretty much it, it was nothing more. They kept their distance."

Meghan wasn't much of a visionary of her own future last night

To be fair she does deserve a women of vision award.
She saw a gullible prince and envisioned how she could profit from getting him to marry her. :laugh:

Angry laughter isn't laughter at all, and the only person it really harms is the person straining their chops.

i love how they are happy to trash a whole city to propagate their lies

today

they jumped the shark

[UserSince2005]

America is really starting to hate them. Just like us.

[joeysteele]

A small base of accuracy that photographers pursued them.

From that small base an almighty over-dramatisation of exaggeration and invention mixed together.
It's all about drama with them.

They are missing an opportunity they should start a soap programme or write for one.
Fiction suits them both very well indeed.

Good…everyone starting to see the lengths they are going to to get maximum publicity and sympathy….it’s clearly apparent how they have used this situation and it’s just appalling… Harry should be ashamed.

A photo agency that took pictures of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex during what the couple said was a dangerous car chase has refused to hand over the images to them.

Backgrid told BBC News it had rejected a legal demand to share all the material taken over several hours in New York City on Tuesday night.

The agency's lawyers said Americans had long ago rejected "royal prerogative".

The BBC has not independently verified the request from the Sussex legal team.

Conflicting accounts of what Harry and Meghan's spokesperson described as a "near catastrophic car chase" resulting in "multiple near collisions" have emerged since the incident was made public on Wednesday.

New York police said "numerous photographers" had made the couple's journey from an awards ceremony on Tuesday evening "challenging", but added there had been "no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests".

A taxi driver who briefly drove them suggested their spokesperson's account was "exaggerated", while some photographers involved have denied parts of it.

Backgrid, a California-based entertainment picture agency, said on Thursday it had received a letter from the Sussexes' legal team.

It said the letter stated: "We hereby demand that Backgrid immediately provide us with copies of all photos, videos, and/or films taken last night by the freelance photographers after the couple left their event and over the next several hours."

BBC News has contacted the Sussexes for comment.

The agency said it had replied in a letter: "In America, as I'm sure you know, property belongs to the owner of it: Third parties cannot just demand it be given to them, as perhaps Kings can do.

"Perhaps you should sit down with your client and advise them that his English rules of royal prerogative to demand that the citizenry hand over their property to the Crown were rejected by this country long ago.

"We stand by our founding fathers."

They sound like a very professional company who definitely wouldn't chase a couple across a city.

- The BBC has not independently verified the request

- Conflicting accounts

- New York police said "numerous photographers" had made the couple's journey from an awards ceremony on Tuesday evening "challenging"

- A taxi driver suggested their spokesperson's account was "exaggerated" (not that it didn't happen)

- while some photographers involved have denied parts of it. (Shocker!)


Really damning stuff for H&M this isn't it, ho ho those liars.

You still hoping for that threesome

They were not chasing

they were following

so they could (shock horror) take a picture of them

Not very good photos

Yes Following at slow speeds
all legal
Police never arrested anyone,

[user104658]

They were not chasing

Pure disingenuous semantics designed to fit a pre-conceived narrative.

"I wasn't chasing them officer, I was just following them, and when they went faster, I had to go faster too or I couldn't keep up!"

[bots]

There is a point where chase becomes a silly descriptor though. The Diana chase for example was at 50mph + whereas the H&M "chase" could only have been at 20-30 through a region with traffic lights on every corner.

[Cherie]

I see there is still gum flapping defending the pair, I still wonder why the paps chose this particular even to follow them, they have been in New York before and why not give them a photo, whats the big deal, do like Diana did on the slopes all those years ago, agree to have a few shots taken if they agreed to leave them alone after that, its just photos...they were dressed to the nines, hell the paps have to live too, this is their bread and butter

[Crimson Dynamo]

Now the odious couple and their creepy spokesman are saying it wasn't a factual statement they made it was just about their "feelings"

they have now totally backtracked as they have been exposed

[Swan]

It's obvious what's happened here. Whether you like them or not, they're always desperate for attention. It can't really be denied at this point. They've not really been in the public eye for a few months, been all about the King and that nonsense, so this is just the next leg in their "leave us alone, we don't want any attention" worldwide privacy tour.

[Cherie]

Oh we get down to the nub of it now, Charles and Willie have not 'reached out' since the incident

Two questions here:
1) why were the press so desperate to photograph them on that particular evening
2) why were such attention-hoes so desperate to avoid the cameras
?

Not to go all tin-foil, but something must have been going on.

I know. They did a bit photo-op when they arrived so who would want to buy a pic of them in a car?

All we seem to be aware of is one company involved and 4 photographers who are refusing to hand over any photos/video's.
It seems really strange that none of these photos have been published....

It just sounds like a massive publicity stunt....and in very bad taste.

This might be a bit far fetched but there have been rumours that Harry is missing UK life and I sure like that time he and Megs took an Easy Jet flight which was never repeated, the novelty of having to work for a living and meet deadlines is probably beginning to war a bit thin, they have done Netflix, the book and the interview where do they go from here, unless Meg returns to acting and Harry is a stay at home Dad, what better way to do an about face than to say its too dangerous to stay in America....

And celebrity Marriages is very high.

My prediction is that they''ll be over soon.

[bots]

the problem for H&M is that they have burnt so many bridges, going back becomes very difficult.

Imagine a scenario where they decide to become working royals again. Charles may think it's a great idea, but will any of the other royal family want that now? Would the British public want it?

I would not be surprised that Harry missed some aspects of his life here...and seeing all his cousins and his family coming together I reckon that hits him hard...because he isnt part of it anymore...and that is all down to him.
Despite intrusion by the Press...he wallows in adoration and he has lost much of that too. He has been getting it in America but even that is on the wane.
I think they both have dug themselves a big hole...I cannot see them returning here in any capacity....but I may be wrong.
How sad they felt it necessary to attack his family....had they not, they really could have had the best of both worlds.

I hope not as they do seem to be very much in love, but who knows, love isn't always enough you need to be happy in your life as well

The British public are notoriously fickle I think they would be welcomed back, Willie and Kate would hate it but Charies would see it as a victory for the Monarchy

There was a 'secret' meeting in March, and its all gone very quiet with regard to Andy downsizing to Frogmore

I think they are brazen enough to do it

I don't see it happening but I do agree with that; not so much that I think Charles is personally desperate to have everyone back together, but he would see it as a massive PR win if they all agreed to kiss and make up and H&M and the Royal Grandkids moved back to the UK. Funnily enough, I also think they'd be much more open to them taking on a more bespoke role as active royals than they were willing to offer before all of this.

It COULD happen but I highly doubt it.

Frankly if it DOES happen ... ... ... ... my Alf Radar will go off and I'll brand the whole thing planned/a conspiracy :suspect:.
