Harry and Meghan are the ones still chasing the fame and fortune

To be fair that's still a better life choice than his dad who is only chasing his gin. With more gin.

What shamelessly using your dead mother at the drop of a hat to gain sympathy and headlines

Turning your back on your family for a bigger bank balance.

Whether you agree that he was right or not in what was best - he turned his back on his parent, sibling and extended family for his child.

I like to think any good parent would do the same. I'd punt my dad & sister into outer space for my kids :shrug:.

Harry is in court trying to get the met police to be his private security when he is in the uk

Oh look, harry in danger while out in public, definitely grounds for him to be protected when in the uk.


Yes I thought that too...

why were they in a yellow taxi, pull over in your blacked out SUV and call the police ....or go to a police station and ask for help, if you are at risk do not get out of your vehicle and get into yellow cab that anyone could have been driving...:crazy:

Cherie 18-05-2023 10:41 AM

Its strange they have been to many an event but this has never happened before what's changed?

Manhattan Island is around 15 miles long with traffic nose to tail. You'd be hard pressed to have 2 hour car chase... Unless you're filming Fast and Furious or you're a complete fantasist.

Lot's of traffic lights too.

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?

Crimson Dynamo 18-05-2023 12:47 PM

Markle flew all the way across the USA to "accept" the Women of Vision Award at a gala in New York for her life-long advocacy for women and girls.:laugh2:

have you ever heard such a combination of LA buzzword bingo than this: :facepalm:

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 18-05-2023 12:52 PM

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 .

I was told that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election, you likely went along with that too, now we find out it was all made up and concocted by his political opponents and their propaganda wing in the Mainstream media. Why would I believe you and them now when you accuse him of being a sexual predator with zero evidence?

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."

what a pair of sorry liars

Glenn. 18-05-2023 01:41 PM

Maybe they could release these pictures of a smiling Meghan Markle then

Glenn. 18-05-2023 01:44 PM

I’ve read that the Daily Fail and Express deleted the articles containing pictures from the chase. Peculiar

That wouldn’t fit the Mails narrative though would it, hence why the articles were deleted.

here is a video of the death-defying high speed chase :worry:

The British tabloids that first had the pictures of them getting into a cab to try and lose the paparazzi, it’s almost like they had quick access to them because the paps were working for them

The only narrative that exists is that there was no car chase. :laugh:

Sounds to me like this has been blown well out of proportion for maximum impact to throw similarities between them and his late mother...whilst trying to gain some support for the Security they are desperate for....

it's very dangerous to follow another car at 20mph, it could have been catastrophic :nono:

Harry has his seatbelt on, but Meghan didn't wear hers :skull:

The met are aware of when he is in this country and not directly but indirectly there will be armed police in the area

He would get an armed police unit to him faster than any of us could dream of.

Another day, another thread full of frothy gammon gums slapping together over a Meghan Markle tabloid article on TiBB. Ahh well. Predictability and routine in life is good for anxiety so we can all get something out of this I suppose.
