Harry and Meghan and Doria car accident?

[OneFrenchEgg]

Just heard this on the radio, does anyone have an actual source? Can't see it anywhere yet, I'm sure that is what I heard, assume not 'serious' as in risk to them?

Is there any other source being reported other than the statement from their spokesperson? This seems a little strange.

They had a near catastrophic non-collision, I'll have you know

I wonder if Meghan will play herself in the film?

Why are they getting taxis? They're extremely famous. Does Beyonce just hail a taxi?

This all sounds a bit far-fetched. A two-hour chase, through New York's traffic? Uhh, right.

As for whether the taxpayer should pick up the bill for their security... they're celebrities (and obscenely wealthy, too). I shouldn't have to pay for a celebrity's security arrangements.

Correct.

But a TWO HOUR car chase involving blacked out SUVs.

WIth NYPD as witnesses.

So the paparazzi chased them for 2 hours and there was no collision?

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a stunt. After all, they're obsessed with likening Meghan to Diana.

I think Harry should step away from the royal family and avoid the glare of publicity. Just live quietly, like a normal man.

It's on the BBC news channel, who are being very careful on what they are saying and apparently waiting for confirmation from the NYPD. The tone is really strange because they are giving the impression they don't completely believe the statement.

Yeah I call completely bullshit on this one. There was no reason for them to be in a normal taxi.

I agree he needs to step away for the sake of his own mental health. For whatever reason he seems to be in a cycle of feeding his own trauma.

There are some really, truly unpleasant people on MN. Ironically the same ones who call MM out for being 'trashy' or 'nasty' or whatever.

Have a word with yourselves ffs.

I'm sure there was some sort of car chase, probably by the Backgrid paparazzi photographers Meghan likes to call when she's going somewhere. With all the speculation over Harry'v visa status in the States being in trouble because of his admitted drug use, this gives them the argument to keep whatever IPP status/visa he has. Hope they are all ok..

@GIorious Agree

Don't believe a word of it. Timing is highly suspect and they wouldn't have had to break the news themselves if it was as big a deal as they say. This is plumbing new depths even for them.

Wise words as ever, mixedrecycling

Before we leap to too many assumptions, does anyone know who this "spokesperson" is, or come to that what the NYPD have had to say about it?
As PPs have said it's quite a coincidence that this should happen just as Harry's arguing for more security, and it's probably worth keeping an open mind on it for now

Totally agree with you there.

Why would you stop the car?

How do you know EXACTLY who is in the chasing car?

How do you know EXACTLY what is in the chasing car?

One for the things that didn't happen list....

It's a car chase not a car accident. Hopefully hyperbole.
I dont understand why the Police would not gave intervened after such a long incident.

Yes. Almost terrifying enough to ask the driver to pull over. But not quite terrifying enough. The driver of their car is at fault here. Go to a police station FFS. I'm sure they could have found one on their 2hr joy ride around NYC. Utter selfishness putting everyone around them in danger. ALL those involved.

Why would you put other people at risk by not pulling over instead of driving at speed for two hours with multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two police officers?

Well, there was that fire in South Africa….

Bullshit.

Why didn't they just stop the car?

Idiots putting people's lives at risk for their own vanity!

You'd think they'd drive somewhere safe then pull over, rather than try and outrun whoever it was. I mean surely a NY hotel would temporarily house them

I assume the danger was also to other

pedestrians & drivers?
