Breaking: H & M in Car Chase

I was once threatened by an aggressive man, I made notes of what was said, and organised someone to observe what was happening, people can function whilst scared.

Like the rest of you I don't know the details of this and how it happened.

But despite what many of you think, they've never said they want to disappear and to suggest that they bring this on themselves, and should just withdraw from the public eye, is just supporting bullying and possibly even violence.

Do your worst, Grans. Nothing surprises me any more.

'near catastrophic car chase' is newsworthy. Being slowly followed in slow moving traffic doesn't have the same affect Patsy.

this thread is about H & M not Diana.

Ok, I don’t know the details, but find it hard to understand how this ‘near catastrophic car chase’ over two hours took place in Manhattan, where traffic is so slow all day! Why didn’t their car just stop in a safe place, so avoiding a potential accident?

I always thought the idea was that if paps want pics they will get pics whatever you do avoid it, and the best strategy is always to take control of the situation, allow them the pics and lay down the conditions including a time limit. It's certainly not worth risking your life, by for example driving like a lunatic on the Périphérique (most dangerous road in Europe) or FDR Drive, to avoid having an unflattering photo taken. Especially when you've spent your adult life openly courting the paps and tipping them off where you'd be.

One thing I've never understood – what were Harry's mum and her squeeze of the moment doing careering around Paris at 3am on a Sunday morning with an intoxicated driver? They had the privacy of their suite at the Ritz, courtesy of old man Fayed. Do we know where they were going? Was it to somewhere they were inevitably going to be photographed when they got there?

Yes they do Curlywhirly and wasn't living a much more private life what they were seeking.

He can't have been too traumatised then doesn't look like ir if he was able to film the 'chase' on his 'phone GSM.

After all the shenanigans with these two, I don't have a very high opinion of them - but, like Monica, in this instance I do feel sorry for them. One of the reasons they left England was to get away from the Paparazzi, seems the US also have intrusive Paparazzi too ( of course they do!) and Harry must have been triggered by the car chase. However, if they truly want the media to ignore them, they really need to lower their profile, stop public appearances and live a much more private life.

I can't imagine how I would feel if this were my own son and DIL reading what people think of them

Obviously, apart from Meghan's mum to neither can their actual family members... Or they might have a better relationship

Try as I might, I can no longer muster much emotion for the day to day lives of this pair.
I am out of sympathy or something.
Attention and drama seems to drive their money making. So they will try and make hay from this, and other things, in one way or another.

He can’t have been too traumatised then.

At least Harry has his own footage. There is film of him using his phone to film while in the back of the taxi.

There’s bound to be someone he can sue.

This is on the BBC news. The police have said there were many traffic violations such as photographing while driving , running red lights and using a phone. Luckily nobody was hurt.

Doubtless he will wail that his ‘mental health’ has been irreparably damaged after this.
Enough fodder there though for a chapter or two in his next book.

I was reading the other day that he’s committed to coming up with two further books in keeping with his contract with Penguin.
What can he possibly still have to say?

Ironic that he always claimed to feel less safe here than in the US.

I think this event could seriously damage his mental health. I hope he gets the help he needs to deal with it, and not justexploit it.

He can’t afford not to exploit it.

Two more volumes of a book to write and Netflix will want a few more lbs of flesh.

Monica, not for the first time, I totally agree with you

I will join you with the white wine GG.

Funny that this important news hasn’t flashed up on my iPad.

Imagine the fodder for the next book - ‘It all flashed before my eyes, my mother all over again’.

Under the circumstances, I genuimely feel sorry for them, with the history of his mother's death. I think this could seriously affect his mentall health.

I do not think that just because I normally have little time for this dreary couple, should mean that I or anyone else should diminish or diss the truly frightening experience they had last night, especially given the manner in which he lost his mother.

I think this event could seriously damage his mental health. I hope he gets the help he needs to deal with it, and not justexploit it.

Rum for me but I have some pink gin that was a parent gift if you would like a glass?

Oh yes please, that would be lovely, cheers!

And in the same week that their lawyer appealed again to the courts for Harry to have paid protection when in this country

Apparently Buckingham Palace will not be issuing a statement.

Very wise.
