I don't think you understood my post but that's OK.

Your wrong LT, we should accept the word of H & M's spokesperson unchallenged

My opinion on the reaction to this/these threads in general is irrespective of the truth behind the story, or anything to do with those involved. The story sounds exaggerated but that's very much not the point.

Its not just in this thread, everyone is laughing at them and their very poorly organized drama for front page news. Reaching to make a comparison to Diana is the most sickening thing about it.

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.

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.

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.

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."

Well it’s been proven that they have lied and stretched the truth so more fool you for continuing to defend them

You still hoping for that threesome

[user104658]

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

They were not chasing

they were following

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

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!"

[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

[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.

no one went faster.

watch this short video

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
