New York Police break silence on Meghan and Harry car chase
New York Police Department has issued a full statement after it was claimed Meghan and Harry were ‘chased by photographers’ last night.
SIGN UP
It is claimed they were chased by paparazzi for two hours after attending an awards ceremony in New York.
An NYPD spokesperson said: ‘On Wednesday evening, May 16, the NYPD assisted the private security team protecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
‘There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging.
‘The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests in regard.’

As a President, she couldn't be worse than Mr. Deviant, The Thump or Half-Dead Joe.

Are you absolutely sure about that DTC?

I also find the story strange. Harry is so very, very security-conscious that I do not believe that he would have travelled in a taxi to a hugely publicised event. Also, why didn't they stay in one of the police stations they apparently visited?

[calmck]

Apparently they exited their SUV and took a taxi from a police station

[zebo]

The only person referring to 'near catastrophic' chase is their spokesperson, makes one wonder!

[andy-hughes]

No doubt all will be revealed.

But in the meantime, which Prince allows himself to be 'chased' anywhere?

If the car stops, the 'chase' is over. The paps get a shot if Harry looking miffed - big deal, they are ten a penny!

This is clearly not as described - watch this space ...

// In other words, their behaviour is creating exactly the sort of situations they claim they need to avoid.//

man whose mum was killed in a car crash says he nearly died in a car that nearly crashed.... Police say nothing happened

[fender62]

if this was made up or blown out of proportion, what would they have to gain, thers id the ongoing arry wants uk police protection, or is this another ruse for something, if so what

[smurfchops]

Another story for a book from Prince not so Charming?

[Arksided]

I have nothing against them really but they are making it more difficult to even give a smidge of affection towards them.

Advice to Ginge.
Instead of allowing Winge to wast your dollars and purchase 2nd rate goons who were once employed by the Kardashains just because they are celebrity's and fashionable. Remember Fat Pecs and menacing looks do not a experienced protection officer make. If you are capable try to sneak discretely and quietly into the UK and visit Bradbury lines in Hereford. The gentlemen there will direct you to their former colleagues who will happily take your dosh and give you first class body guard protection. They trained the Met Polce Royalty Protection Officers who have never lost their Principal, including your mother, yet .Discreetly blending in the background works. OTT Thugs talking into their sleeve and shoving people around does not.
How many Presidents have been assassinated or wounded in the land of the free? That is the only way you will get anything like the level of professionalism that the rest of the firm enjoy and you don't because you decided to leave it and slag them off.

Look at us ... Look at us ... Look at us...

You're harassing us ... You're harassing us ... You're harassing us.

A 2 hour car chase in Manhattan with the paps trying to locate their digs? Give over. A Country based on exploiting hi tech hasn't got "journalists" with the gumption to put a drone with a camera up? A load of whatsit!!

[New Judge]

Unsurprisingly, it seems to be unravelling a little:

Nicholas Witchell, Royal correspondent:

“But the question is whether the statement issued by the Sussexes' spokesperson was an accurate reflection of what happened?

The statement, couched in vivid and perhaps rather breathless language, talks about "a near-catastrophic car chase", "a ring" of paparazzi and a "relentless pursuit" which lasted for more than two hours.

That doesn't appear to be being substantiated now from what we're hearing from the New York Police Department and the mayor of New York”

Sonny Singh (Taxi Driver):

Asked about the description of a "near catastrophic chase" he said "I don't think that's true, I think that's all exaggerated".

He said he didn't feel in danger and that the police weren't following - "they only helped when we were blocked by the trash truck they honked and then they went their way we went our way".

As our late, dear Queen once said, “recollections may vary.”

[retrocop]

The Sussexes couldn't lie straight in bed especially if there was a fat cheque coming after all the drama and fairy tales they invent. I have read they no longer enjoy the celebrity status they crave in the U.S. any more.

[Peter Pedant]

can I do one of my jokes?

Bradbury Lines,
They trained the Met Police Royalty Protection Officers who have never lost their Principal, see above

O god the Ginger Whinger exclaimed when I reported this,
I dont want them to rape anyone !

ter daah ! - - full of it, I am

[douglas9401]

Oh Peter, now you've gone and done it!

[tomus42]

56 comments so far sla6ging off the sussexes. They'll be distraught next time they log onto the answerbank.

[Barsel]

I can't understand this couple at all.
Why would they make up such an elaborate story?
