Prince Harry, Meghan Markle in car chase involving paparazzi that spokesperson calls "near catastrophic"

"This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions," a spokesperson for the prince said. Law enforcement sources said no one was in danger.

Seems pretty reckless to me on Harry and Meghan's part. I mean what is the pap going to do? Take pictures? You'll excuse my cynicism but I think they're just trying to get sympathy since they are so disliked by so many people on both sides of the pond.

 

[diffusionx]

lol I am sure they were really upset by this

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Didn't South Park eviscerate these two? I thought they were dust in the wind at this point.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

I knew Harry idolized his mom, but that's a bit much.

Damn. It took 5 whole minutes for someone to make this joke.

Paparazzi can fuck off forever as well as the people that feed the machine by consuming this “content”.

I just realized being a paparazzi is the closest you'll ever get to hunting people for sport.

Awesome.

I think repo men and bounty hunters are much closer. Pap take photos of celebrities.

Shit is so absurd to me. Why in the world would you put peoples lives in jeopardy over stupid ass photos. I just dont understand the lust for this type of shit. Honestly... they should be arrested as a danger to public safety.

I agree throw both of them in jail.

 

[AJUMP23]

Please ban all threads about these two people.

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Would've been nice if everyone involved was wearing inline skates and they had to cross a mile of grassland

 

[DosGamer]

lol... that was fantastic... lol

Welcome to Earth and people's worship for their idols. Any means neccessary. Ironically enough said worship doesn't include the endanger of said idols.

 

[Max_Po]

looks like a setup ... do not chase meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[LordCBH]

These cunts are about to schedule endless tv interviews to bitch about their privacy again.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

She's so fucking hot though. Why include hairy

 

[Toots]

Good for them.
How would we know they exist and are important without it ?

That look on her face says "I'm complicit in this shit". It was probably her idea.

 

[mitch1971]

The truth.

his spokesperson said.

2 hr Long chase with multiple near collisions in NYC? I'm going to need to see receipts (police helicopter footage).

 

[Ammogeddon]

Chased by paparazzi for 2 hours, in New York?

If they were followed for 2 hours, fair enough, but come on man. If you were being “chased” for just a minute you would get police to intervene asap.

What authority does their driver have to use escape and evasion tactics? They’ll probably be ex military or police but they can’t just drive about like James fucking Bond. They’ll have to follow the rules just like the rest of us, or in the very least give a damn good explanation for what they have done. Think of the liability if they mowed a pedestrian down.

This has attracted media attention because it’s a load of bollocks.

 

[SlimySnake]

lol anyone who has driven in Manhattan knows you cant chase anyone there. especially during the day. id buy that maybe at night around midnight on weekdays but even that wont be in areas these two would frequent.

 

[Toons]

Trust me, they do not have to fake having paparazzi follow them around. I can't escape hearing about them and I couldn't give a rats ass about any of the royal family. The media loves talking about them and the public eats it up.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Why’s it look like they’re not wearing seat belts?

 

[IDKFA]

A 2 hour car chase in New York?

2 hours?

Sorry, but I'm calling BS on this. Why not just pull over and call the police, or just park up and let them take as many pictures as they want? Why drive around recklessly in New York for 2 hours trying to lose Paps?

What the fuck was going on in that car that required a chase? Was Harry having a wild threesome with Megan and her mum?

 

[FunkMiller]

A two hour high speed chase across New York City?

Funny, every time I’ve got a cab there it’s gone at a snails pace, and feels like it’s taken two hours to get more than three blocks.

That look on her face says "I'm complicit in this shit". It was probably her idea.

Everything else aside that is a really good shot considering it was taken at night inside of a dark car while escaping from paparazzi. If I didn't know any better I'd say it was staged.

 

[Davesky]

“The Royal Family tried to have us killed”, just wait for it.

 

[FairyD]

With NY traffic I figure it's not much of a car chase.

 

[tkscz]

Sounds setup the MOMENT you hear New York City. Driving there is nothing but traffic and you want to tell me they SPED through there for two hours? Yeah I don't believe this wasn't setup.

 

[Big Baller]

 

[BadBurger]

I question the details of the story. For one, Harry has been literally trained and educated on how to be an object of the press, he grew up as an idol to be paraded about, so it's curious he would handle the situation like that.

But all that aside, to hell with the paparazzi. Horrible people feeding on the tabloid desires of the pablum-feeding masses.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

For what it's worth, the article does say that it happened late at night.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle in car chase involving paparazzi that spokesperson calls "near catastrophic"​

Nice try "spokesperson", but Harry will never be on the same popularity level as his mother no matter how hard you try.

Trying to invoke the memory of Diana's paparazzi death for sympathy clicks is a new low for these two.

 

[GutsOfThor]

Who cares 'bout these two dip shits?

 

[MrA]

who was the drive, Popeye Doyle?

The fast & the inbred: Princess di memorial race

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

With all due respect to England, But Harry is one of the dumbest person on the planet.

From being part of royalty and high rank, to lowering himself by marrying a maid, being ungrateful to his family and a pussy to his wife.

What a shame of a person.

 

[Neolombax]

Why not just stop and let the pictures be taken? Seems like a reasonable trade-off for a 2 hour chase?

 

[AmuroChan]

Why are people so mean to them? They just want privacy.

 

[Billbofet]

Why are people so mean to them? They just want privacy.

I think the point is that they actually don't......

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Perhaps they shouldn’t have moved to the US, given their privacy would have been way better protected in the UK?
