Breaking: H & M in Car Chase

Are we done now? It's just that I'm out of popcorn and need to know whether to pop out and buy some more 🤷

Sounds like the paps were trying to follow them home, or to wherever they were going. I know I would have found it all terrifying and would also have been bursting for a wee. Nobody should have to put up with that sort of thing when going about their everyday lives. I imagine it had extra significance after Diana's death. Although a high speed race was avoided it still sounds dangerous and very frightening and someone could have been badly injured.

They don’t want pictures of them smiling, they want pictures of them dead
Really volver. What a horrible thing to say.

Where are all the photographs of this exciting (ahem) event? All those paps and they didn't get one decent picture? That's because the whole thing was a fiction.

There are pictures of it happening. Why are you so determined to deny the truth?

So one picture , mother appears to have fallen asleep, Markle sitting relaxed,hands on lap, Harry taking a video. No seat belts on. It's a set up. I believe NYPD, Mayor and taxi driver. Why are you so determined it was any different.

Why are you so determined its not?

Doria looking down, probably trying to text the police.
Meghan not looking like a madwoman.
Harry videoing for evidence.

Depends on your point of view I guess.

Attention seeking yet again …..these two have mastered the art of this. Fabricating the truth is something H & M seem to be guilty of time and again. It really does bring into question their ongoing mental stability if they spend their opulent lifestyle openly lurching from one catastrophic disaster to the next. Clearly their decision to give up Royal duties has left them somewhat unbalanced,

Where did you get your qualification in psychoanalysis from?
Just so that I can tell anybody I know to avoid it.

The same question could be asked of you volver
Dcba is merely giving her opinion to which she is entitled.

Yeah, and my brother's bigger than your brother.

Is that really your argument?

Bluesmum

I really,really have never understood all this papp hype. In the first place, you cannot, absolutely cannot, be chased unless you are the first to run! FACT, secondly, what is so painfully, life threatening about having your photo taken??? If they just stood still and glared at the photographers, who do you think would be the first to walk away? Nothing to see here folks, just move on????

Well, let's imagine this.

You and your children can't even go to the park without some papp trying to take your picture. You run because there are people you don't know trying to take your picture without your permission. If they get a picture of you glaring, its all over the tabloids tomorrow - Bluesmum in temper meltdown - what would her sainted grandmother think?

They don't want pictures of them smiling, they want pictures of them dead.

But think about it. Whether you’re on here as a M&H defender, or condemner, or on here to criticise those who condemn or defend, whether you believe the media reports or you don’t, we’re all on here giving them publicity.
Do they want it?🤣🤣🤣

i think we have learnt by now that so many things said by them have turned out to be fabricated to boost their ratings so i take all they say with a pinch of salt after all they wanted their privacy yet are always in the press details given out by their friend ! scbie

BlueBalou stuff about Queen Elizabeth and his grandfather I should imagine

Yellowmellow

Lemsip......for your information lm sick of this bitchy site and am unsurprising to this god awful site and the bullies on it...ciao awful people

👋🏻 Bye!
I do wonder how they’re going to fulfill the contracts for another three books and Netflix. I know Harry says there even more revelations for a second book ☹️

As many have pointed out, near impossible for this to happen in the crowded streets of Manhattan! The statement from NYPD appears to cast doubts on this story. An exaggeration of actual events to keep this pair in the news which has badly misfired. Anything to do with Harry’s court case regarding Royal protection? In poor form considering Diana’s death and I note that pictures released show no seatbelts being worn in the taxi too. Call me cynical, but on past evidence, I don’t believe it at all.

The agency responsible for 4 of the photographers admits it happened. They just have a different perspective on it.
In a statement, the company added: “according to the photographers present, there were no near-collisions or near-crashes during this incident.“The photographers have reported feeling that the couple was not in immediate danger at any point
I suppose it's like any other episode, the hunter doesn't think the hunted have anything to worry about.

Some media spokesperson or other said last night that the papers won’t touch any photos with a barge pole because they’ll get sued by H&M if they publish them.

and possibly having flashbacks
Flashbacks occur when you have actually experienced something yourself.
I still have flashbacks of a motorway crash we were involved in years ago. I cannot have flashbacks of something that occurred to another person.

AGAA4

I agree with Andrew Marr. It's a nasty way to earn a living photographing people without their permission. Although it didn't seem as bad as was first reported Harry I believe is fragile and something like this may have sent his stress levels soaring.
I am not interested in this couple at all but feel that what happened was very wrong. I would feel this way about anyone who felt threatened.

At least they could see the photographers, AGAA4, annoying that it might be, a price of fame.

It's when they use a lens which is capable of taking photos from a distance of a mile that it becomes underhand, sinister and disturbing.

I don't buy into the "which camp are you in" thing. If you support H&M you therefore have to hate W&K. If you are fans of W&K you have to ridicule H&M

Me neither.
It's ridiculous.

Glorianny

So there's no hatred on here.
But one poor bloke, who married a woman so many on GN hate, was driving round New York trying not to panic as the car he was in was pursued by Papparazi, all trying to get a shot of them. They had to eventually leave the safety of their secure vehicle and take a taxi through New York, and even the taxi driver says there were still people taking flash photographs. The bloke's mother died in similar circumstances.
But hey they left the UK. They deserve all they get.
Sympathy apparently stops at the Atlantic Ocean.

Let’s unpick this

1) paps were following (note the less emotive term than “pursuing”) a car and trying to take photographs. That’s what photographers do, especially of so-called “celebrities”
One was on a bicycle 🤣

2) they left the safety of their secure vehicle and took a taxi
Well, really. How misguided was that.
Taxi drivers are presumably good drivers but unlike the Sussexes own security detail unlikely to be security checked or necessarily experienced in avoiding /escape tactics as any security team driver should be.
Cf the driver in Paris - what could possibly go wrong?

3) the taxi driver said the photographers were still taking flash photographs -yes, it was at night

4) “the blokes mother died under similar circumstances “
Not quite, that was a high speed car chase in a notoriously dangerous tunnel, the driver had been drinking, the passengers were not wearing seat belts. Oh that last bit is the same.

Get real.
Just for once turn off your own prejudices and stop assuming anybody who is sceptical of this non-story necessarily “hates” anybody.

👏👏👏

Some reasonableness shines through!
