I’m not alone then in finding a two hour car chase through NY hard to believe.

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

Yes rather a coincidence wouldn't you say. Let's hear from police sources, not their mouthpiece. As other GN have told about creeping traffic in that area,find it rather odd a taxi in a two hour car chase.

It’s the first item on BBC news at 6pm.

Anniebach Wed 17-May-23 18:02:36

They left the event in a limousine, were followed by paps,
went to a police station to exchange limousine for a taxi,
couldn’t the police escort them in police car to a place of
safety ?

So, constantly decry the media, but get your spokesperson to alert Reuters? It’s up there with ‘ Chip Pan Nearly Goes on Fire in Clydebank’!

That did make me smile!

tickingbird Wed 17-May-23 18:19:13

So they were followed but no near catastrophe according to the police department. That doesn’t garner headlines though does it? More attention seeking from this couple.

^One of the reasons they left England was to get away from the Paparazzi^

Were they troubled by paps while in the UK?

I must have missed that bit.

Me too.

Why was no one charged

As reported they were on motorbikes and scooters. They have very good number plate recognition in New York. So unless they were using false plates they’ll be caught.

maddyone Wed 17-May-23 18:31:20

Two hour car chase in New York. Mmmmmm hmm

Daisymae Wed 17-May-23 18:33:35

Surprising that video clips are not surfacing all over the net, NY being a populated area where you would assume people had phones and some service.......

Couldn't they just have driven 8 where they were staying?

M0nica Wed 17-May-23 18:57:26

Daisymae They were staying with friends and for security reasons did not want those following them to know where they were staying.

I do not understand why they did not drive to the nearest police station and seek refuge there. Or do NY police not work that way?The two of them are big celebrities and that would be (understandable) celebrity behaviour.

This thread is nasty I m really surprised at some of the comments on here truly horrible Even if it’s someone you have no time for surely you can walk on by without theses miserable nasty comments
Truly frightening for them all, especially him who has never got over his mothers death
Really vindictive comments

Why did Harry not seek help from the NYPD?

Why did his mother leave the Ritz Hotel in Paris in the middle of the night when her boyfriend's father owned the Ritz Hotel?

Smileless2012 Wed 17-May-23 19:11:58

We'll never know why Dodi and Diana did what they did and I don't suppose we'll ever know why H didn't ask the NYPD for help either.

Foxygloves Wed 17-May-23 19:23:38

I can’t imagine anybody , paps or others , - can see much through blackout windows - or why don’t they have sort of roller blinds on back seat windows.
Seems obvious to me.

Sorry BlueBelle...If H&M are exaggerating the car journey to try to compare it to the situation in Paris of Diana and Dodi, and high light Harry's need for security, I would call that nasty.

BlueBalou Wed 17-May-23 19:33:42

It seems that the truth is somewhat different….
NYPD Chief says no chase, H&M requested to go by a circuitous rote to where they were staying, no chase ever happened (taxi driver also confirmed this). They had a NYPD escort at all times.
NY CCTV Department deny they have any evidence of a chase on CCTV.
There are photos on Twitter of Meghan happily smiling, as is Doria, Harry photographing the person taking their photo, in the back of a taxi, no seatbelts and the three of them look relaxed and unperturbed.
🤷🏼‍♀️

MerylStreep Wed 17-May-23 19:34:34

For whatever reason they went in through the side/ back door to the building.
Why didn’t they leave by the same way.

Calipso Wed 17-May-23 19:36:18

My only observation would be that if this truly went on for 2 hours as suggested by the spokesman, there is something seriously wrong with whatever security arrangements are in place for the Duke and Duchess.

It seems that the truth is definitely somewhat different…..
Nothing to do with coinciding with Harry’s numerous High Court claims (that aren’t going well for him) or the need to produce three more books plus Netflix films?
Yes, I am definitely very cynical where these two are concerned and, if this really is some sort of sick trick emulating what happened to Diana then he’s more unwell than I’d originally thought.
Very sad if it is.

Norah Wed 17-May-23 19:42:07

We travel to/in NYC often.

I can't remember a set of streets where a 2 hour chase could occur - quite curious news.

Smileless2012 Wed 17-May-23 19:42:33

Oh dear. I think H & M need to sack their spokesperson. This is extremely distasteful if it's fabrication.

V3ra Wed 17-May-23 19:46:00

Well. Paris all over again 🙄

And we're supposed to be concerned about these people?

merlotgran Wed 17-May-23 19:46:49

No doubt that odd little bod Omid Scobie will be along soon to tell us it’s all our fault! 🤔
