Or when any number of celebrities and movie stars who are 100000000 more famous than this sad paid are just walking down the street or seen at the theater or dining out at the same restaurants as normal people? No paps, no chases, no press releases. These two as such brazen transparent liars.


Obama. Really? Obama is surrounded by armed secret service men’s and women who would not hesitate to pull the trigger if someone got even remotely close. UN are also protected. Remember when those people protesting the Turkish President got the asses whipped by Turkish secret service right here in DC. Paparazzi not messing with them.

If scared and being pursued in a way that makes one fear for life and limb, the first thing I would do is put a seatbelt on. I also wouldn't trade a blacked out SUV for a cab.


Particularly, in view if his mother had used her seatbelt she would likely not have died that night as the only person wearing a seatbelt is still alive!

There were no accidents or injuries during this 2 hour debacle, so “near catastrophic” is a bit of a stretch.

Also, why let it go on for 2 hours? Seems the driver should have pulled over. This wasn’t a mob trying to kill them. It’s horribly invasive, but surely avoiding being photographed after appearing at a much-publicized public event isn’t worth anyone’s life. So stop the car. Surely someone had a phone and could call police?


+1 Exactly my thoughts when reading. Don't want to compromise your friend's house, then stay at a hotel. Pull over. Anything is better than endangering people's lives.


Nice victim blaming.


Yes, I can see that with the hotel. But, not with pulling over. It said the chase included driving on sidewalks. Prince Harry should have know it was highly dangerous given his mom’s death. Would your answer still be the same if a pedestrian was hurt or killed as a result?

If I truly wanted privacy however after a public event, I would stay at a hotel, since they are equipped at handling this.


You’ll never what you would do because you will never have the opportunity to make such a decision.


In the meantime the rest of us can give our opinions on people tearing around cities, driving dangerously, risking the lives of others because they don't want their photo taken. Their antics can't put the public at risk.


Hm. Did they risk others lives or did the paparazzi. Interesting how you blame them for others bad behavior. It was the paparazzi dodging inbetween traffic and in the sidewalk, yet you’re blaming H&M. Typical of shifting to blame from the guilty to the innocent.


Recollections may vary on that. Also, like I tell my kids, they can't chase you if you don't run. I'm still confused why, if their lodging was so close, didn't they just GO THERE directly?


Maybe they don't want the public to know who was lodging them while in NYC.


Then this situation was their choice. If they stay in a hotel like normal celebs, the hotel will handle it.

Nooo they can’t stay in a hotel! Camilla has hired the Brit equivalent of Seal Team 6 to assassinate Harry and Meghan and the Plaza Athenee doesn’t have sufficient security for that!

Guys, this isn’t about ineffective attention whoring at all. Not at all. This is about Security, capital S security, that’s right, for two of our most precious humans. We MUST protect Meghan (and Harry) at all costs!

I'm pp you're quoting. I agree. Why else wouldn't they stay at a hotel unless their host expects to remain unidentified. Good idea, unnamed host. Who wants to be associated with this circus?

40 pages deep and more than 24 hours later and Meghan is still living rent free in your heads. I'd like to be reincarnated as Meghan the Magnificent - puppeteer of jealous, low-budget women .

And frankly an accident could very easily have happened, high speed isn’t required for a tragedy they happen ALL THE TIME in cities all across the country. A pedestrian could easily have been hurt or killed by erratic driving of paps chasing them.

This really matters to Harry, his mom DIED this way. I think it is sad to see all the folks reacting so negatively and mocking them. They provided ample opportunity for pictures before and after the event. This kind of paparazzi stalking of ALL celebrities should be socially unacceptable. Media should refuse to publish pictures taken this way. The whole practice should be done, it’s intrusive and often creates unreasonable risks and dangers. Enough.



Yep. 100%.

Annnnnd they need a better PR team who can be honest with them. Although i recognize that it might not be possible for anyone to ever get them to understand that they’re their own worst enemies when it comes to unforced errors. This happens again and again when they release Important News. I posted back on page 1 that it was shameful for these paps to do this, and it absolutely is, but the ensuing sh!t storm of what constitutes a “high speed, near-catastrophic, 2 hour car chase” is completely on them. The timing of the release – soon after the news that Harry is again trying to get crown protection – makes it seem convenient and contrived. They need staff who can help them take a beat, read the moment and proceed carefully. Until this happens, the cycle will repeat over and over.


They really are terrible at PR. TERRIBLE. I can’t understand their thinking. Do you think they are embarrassed by this today (with the benefit of a little time to calm down and reflect) or are they just so absolutely tone deaf and so insular they can’t imagine how silly they seem? Or do they just think all press is good press?

They are upset that Buckingham Palace has not issued a public statement in support of them.

You're obsessed with anonymous strangers who don't like the celebrity you do. That's even more pathetic. Yet y'all are hanging on their every word making the same predictable comments. Boring.
