Harry and Megan car chase
Only read the bare bones of this story but I always end up wondering why it becomes a chase, rather than a drive?
If Diana and Dodi had got in their car and driven home safely in Paris they would have been followed and some pictures would have been taken and then they would have arrived at their destination and would still be here today.
The accident happened because they tried to outpace motorcycles in a city centre, which is surely impossible?? Having a driver who may have been drinking didn't help either of course.
If you don't start racing, the danger disappears.
H and M say they were involved in a "near catastrophic chase" apparently. Surely, if they just drive home at normal speeds there is no danger at all?
Celebrities throughout history have had to put up with their pictures being taken against their will. It goes with the territory. Just smile and wave and go about your day. The photographers might even get bored. Turning it into "dramatic car chases" is just what they want and leads to good pictures.
It also probably helps their narrative of being hounded and persecuted. There are far bigger stars in the US who don't seem to get involved in dramatic car chases.

Re: Harry and Megan car chase
Aren't they demanding more security in America at the taxpayers cost?
A near death car chase would only help their cause.
Or they could just sit in the back of the car with blacked out windows and no photographer will get any pictures.

Re: Harry and Megan car chase
The taxi driver whose car they were in has said that although they were followed, there was no high speed chase, it would not have been possible in the streets of New York. H&M just keep lying.

Re: Harry and Megan car chase
When someone wants privacy and to step away from the limelight, you just do it.
An example is someone like Peter Kay, nobody heard a whisper from him for years because he wanted his privacy and he was a huge star at the time.
(Granted not on Harrys level but still)

People getting all worked up about people who have no impact on their daily life. And if indeed you somehow allow this trashy tabloid fodder to impact your humble existence, then you clearly have some problems going on.

How come there is no video footage? Has anyone seen any on social media or the news? Surely people on the streets would have filmed it on their mobiles.

Re: Harry and Megan car chase
Just logged back in and see there are a few responses.
It wasn't meant as a dig at H & M (not this time anyway).
My main point was not really about Harry but rather about "car chases".
It is only a chase if the first vehicle makes it one. Go drive normally and everyone walks away fine.

Meghan and Harry fell out with William and Kate and the royal household. Harry's also fallen out with the King and called the Queen consort "an wicked stepmother".
The press (and this is normally individual journalists) pick a side based on who they believe is to blame for the fallout. The vast majority, but not all of them, have sided with Willam & Kate. What else is there to it than that?

Boggling to me how anyone's arsed at all really. Huge opinions made of people based on second, third, fourth, fifth hand (if lucky) scraps of rumours from the media. Hear people gossiping about it as if it's their own family. Proper, proper odd. But then I suppose everyone needs a distraction. We're all on here after all...
