Sorrty - 'details of which appear to be' - usual naff typing.

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.

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?

I’ve just read where it took place Manhattan area.
I’m sure lots of you here have been in a taxi in that area, you hardly move.

Too true. We actually got out of the taxi in Manhattan after barely moving in 10 minutes as it was quicker to walk.
Also, so terrifying that Meghan, Harry and Doria didn't bother with seatbelts. Diana would probably still be alive today if she had worn one. One person survived the Paris crash and he was wearing his seatbelt.

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

Criticism is not hared.
There is nothing to be ashamed of in questioning or casting a critical eye over a story in the media.
Just because you do not agree does not make the opinions of others either hatred or disgusting
So stop over reacting..

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

enabenn Fri 19-May-23 12:19:39

Don't believe that. There is footage of the 'chase's which they demanded to be sent to them, but were reminded that they are in USA and don't have to abide by kings rule.

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

tickingbird Fri 19-May-23 12:15:34

Actually it didn’t happen because Harry and Meghan said it happened and they are proven liars. There’s already some backtracking going on with Omid whatsisname saying the person that broke the story was rather over emotional. Frankly, it’s embarrassing.

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.

This is really an example of how the Chinese whisper accounts of news develop.
It didn't happen because the cab driver said it didn't. (he was involved near the end)
It couldn't have happened because it was high speed (the NY mayor was first to mention the words high speed).
It didn't happen because Whoopi Goldberg said it didn't.
Honestly it just shows how people adjust the narrative to fit their perspective.

Dillonsgranma Fri 19-May-23 12:06:52

They really do need to stop moaning all the time. If they shut up and lived a quiet life then the paparazzi wouldn’t be interested in them. What a boring couple they are 😫

Quite! Guess what, according to today’s i newspaper, Harry will use it to bolster his legal battle with the Home Office over security. Well, what a surprise.

Said no one ever!! smile

tickingbird Fri 19-May-23 12:05:03

Oh no, and then back as a siren.

She’s already done the siren bit. Singing to the seals in Scotland remember. She wove a spell and drew them in and Harry went in for a swim. It was enchanting grin

The police were a bit slow in stopping a *2 hr car chase in New York*

I think she needs to work on her vision, starting with their spokespersonhmm.

(She could be the new Little Mermaid - except the new version is already out now). 🧜‍♀️

May sink without trace. We can but hope.

Vanillasky Fri 19-May-23 11:18:47

In very choppy waters now!

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 19-May-23 11:14:34

Her relaunch? Is she a ship?

merlotgran Fri 19-May-23 11:13:40

The award ceremony was supposed to be Meghan’s relaunch after lying low during the Netflix series and Harry’s book (who can blame her?)

Once again they’ve made fools of themselves. No wonder Buckingham Palace has maintained a dignified silence.

Smileless2012 Fri 19-May-23 10:54:11

Oh dear it's all rather embarrassing isn't it and could be their biggest faux pas to date.

Vanillasky Fri 19-May-23 10:53:59
