Breaking: H & M in Car Chase

If this latest episode is to copy what happened to Diana then it makes me wonder just how much lower they’ll go to get headlines.
And if its not? If this, and every other thing you think is true, is just so much fabrication? How does that make you feel? Do you feel taken advantage of, used, misled? Because you should.

Clearly very few people are convinced by this latest attempt to grab attention
There are actual pictures of the paps trailing them. There are pictures of people trying to take their picture when they are in a private car. It's not AI, or Photoshop. It actually happened. Despite what you think.

The 'near catastrophic' event was breaking news for 5 minutes, which details were reported by a spokesperson fir H & M. Today (19 May) a rather less dramatic version was given by the NY police.

And it is because Charles and William et al KNOW they lie, that they have not contacted them or made any comment.

For those of you who are on Twitter.

From what I've read, the only people calling it a high speed car chase are the media. Would car pursuit work better for you? Hounding? Reports that the couple were being goaded by photographers when leaving the event to provoke a great "Angry Harry" shot?

The couple were, reportedly, staying with friends and didn't want the address known to paps.
They didn't want to be followed.
They didn't want to have their photographs taken in the car.

Did you hear the way the paps were talking to Meghan as she stepped out of the hotel?

Did you hear the interview of the pap who said that his photo may be the last one of Harry alive so he had to take it?

It is disgusting.

They didn’t want , wonder if William wanted the world to know he had been circumcised.

Are the haters on here going to mock when a member of their family gets hurt?

Probably, if the bile directed at them is anything to go by on here.

What about if someone dies? I'm sure that will also be grist to the mill.

I'm absolutely disgusted by some of you.

GagaJo you belong to this same forum so part and parcel of the same group and on all threads!

The hatred on here is disgusting. You should all be ashamed.

Not hatred just sheer exasperation at the behaviour of this money- and attention-seeking pair.

Clearly very few people are convinced by this latest attempt to grab attention and get footage for the next Netflix saga and Books 2, 3 and 4

So sad his life has taken this direction.

You started it Fanny!

Yes, I know.
I thought that there might be some profound, philosophical insight into the group psyche of Gransnet forthcoming

Such a pity it’s being reported. Particularly as they don’t court publicly.
Press ought to ignore them as that’s their preference. (Odd lifestyle)

Yes the press ought to ignore them.

Then you could all gossip about where they have gone and what are they trying to hide.

Win win.

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.

Wouldn't mind betting it's another publicity stunt to assist with his ongoing court cases

You started it Fanny!

Why are we wasting time posting this sort of thing on gransnet.

I don’t know.

Chase implies speed. Rather unlikely to be driving at speed for the alleged two hours in that location.

More attention seeking! Taxi driver says they were in the car 10 minutes….not 2 hours. Crying wolf doesn’t pay off!
Matilda shouted fire fire…..everyone replied little liar!

Taxi driver Sukhcharn Singh told the Washington Post that he drove with the trio and their security guard for about ten minutes. Singh said he picked the group up at around 11 p.m. outside the NYPD’s 19th Precinct on East 67th Street. He said he got the impression that they had already been chased by photographers, and they were followed by two vehicles as he was driving: a black Honda Accord and a gray Honda CR-V.

As comment above.

I'm not reading all 11 pages, I read the first, and the two last pages and it's made me so flipping cross! One poster called it hatred, I'm going to call it bloody nasty! These comments, honestly, make me fume.

One post on Twitter yesterday (I didn't note who from, a random journalist) said he'd asked one of the paps why take so many shots of H&M leaving the awards, the flashes from camera's, flash flash flash. The pap said (this is a quote from the random journalist) "this might be the last photo of him". Which the journalist drew to mean - if Harry were to die in a car crash from the award ceremony, that pap would be quids in for getting that last photo.

I find that revolting. And to go on to read the comments on here, it's disgusting.

Oh, they were followed, car chase was a lie ?

We didn't get all this hooha when Princess Anne was held at gun point.

It was 1974.

You need to move on, honestly.

OMG why bother to comment if you can't be bothered to find out what happened. The taxi was the last resort. Their secure limo was followed before they ever got to the taxi.
I'm starting to think Trump was right in a way. It isn't "fake news" it is "whatever you want to believe news"
Facts just get in the way.

New York I would have thought would have town cars specific for celebrities? Very tinted windows and ability to leave from back doors to avoid paparazzi?
Having walked around Manhattan, there are certainly idiots that drive there , but the ability to be doing that for lengthy periods of time and not be picked up by CCTV and then the police is surprising.
I have no doubt they are being photographed as Meghan is very much searched for on the various search engines , be they for positive or negative type of reports

The Scobie chap had said the spokesperson was over emotional and criticised Charles and William for not contacting them .

Criticism is hatred ? Gosh the hatred of the royal family from some must cause security much concern

Gagajo I'm on here, and I see no reason why I should feel ashamed. This is a discussion forum; if 'celebrities' choose to release a statement to the media suggesting that they have had a terrifying and near catastrophic event - extremely emotive language - the details of which which appears to be questionable depending upon who is being interviewed, then it will be a point for discussion. My post was expressing surprise that a chase of such speed, involving alarming near collisions, could possibly take place in New York City at that busy time of the evening - most of the city traffic would moving at a moderate speed. What am I to be ashamed of?

There was no mention of speed until the NY mayor mentioned it. It was persistent and aggressive, not high speed

Such a pity it’s being reported. Particularly as they don’t court publicly.

Aggh! Another typo - I may give up my faltering career as a proof reader.
