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?

Yes she’s Princess Henry not Princess Meghan as it’s her husband’s title, she’d only be Princess Meghan if it was her own title (like Princess Lilibet)

Why do you keep calling her duchess Forfar? If you're going to use the Forfar title, she's Countess of Forfar isn't she.

Is duchess Forfar some insult I've missed?

I thought it was some sort of auto correct!!

It is not hyperbole. It is dangerous for pedestrians even without paparazzi, witnesses say this poor lady was hit at speed. It is absolutely right to compare the two. It’s pedestrians who are most at risk. A security person for them in Canada mentioned exactly this on the Netflix show, that when they were being aggressively followed in Canada their concerns were more for pedestrians. Paps don’t just casually follow behind. They weave in and around them on mopeds. It’s dangerous and it is not the fault of the person being followed.

The police outrider was within the speedlimit, there was no excessive speeding - unless you're making accusations?

Being hit by a motorbike even within the speed limit can be deadly.

IMO conflating the 2 incidents is hyperbole. It was a tragic accident. But you absolutely cannot conflate the 2.

H&Ms incident was bad enough without adding to the drama unnecessarily.

Anyway stop derailing guys, my point was (the point i was making yesterday) that even with the sensible police escorting duchess Forfar to Scotland they still caused an accident putting the lady into a coma. I said nobody has any interest whatsoever in the duchess Forfar, princess Meghan on the other hand the media obsession with her and the frenzied prazzi chase could have ended up in a catastrophe. Thankful to God it didn't!

She is not Duchess Forfar
she wasn’t going to Scotland
there is no such person as Princess Meghan

She's Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex. She would only become Princess Henry if Harry loses his Dukedom.

I’d also suggest that staying at a friends house isn’t the best option if you’re aware this is likely to be a problem. Hotels are set up to deal with this kind of thing and given they were there to attend a public event they were always going to draw some degree of attention.

Hotels have staff that can be bribed. H & M obviously have friends that they trust more. We still don't know where H stayed in London. If it was a hotel someone would have put it on twitter by now.

This.

A cleaner in a hotel would probably bring out their trash can for 2K or less. A month' salary in these hard times, who would say no. 😅

A woman is in a coma after Sophie’s security hit her, and they weren’t even being chased by paps. The security of M & H has said they were concerned for members of the public.

What are you all not getting. It was dangerous, mostly to others.

Sorry, my post went the to quote under your post. Don't know why.

Didn't K&W entourage also put a woman in hospital with their fast motorbike? Am sure, I read something like that.

It just wants attention. Ignore it and with any luck it'll buzz off.

It wasn't high speed but paps were reckless

TrashyPanda · 18/05/2023 10:00

There was an accident in 2019 when a lady was hit by a police motorbike. No information about speed, but as it was in Richmond it doesn’t seem likely it was at high speed

and in 2015 a police motorbike escort to William was run into by a taxi and injured

so there are risks on both sides

Whaeanui · 18/05/2023 10:01

@notanotheroneagain I think the NY Mayor quotes have been shared, people are just ignoring it. You know how it goes. Pick it all apart, twist the narrative, find fault with use of a single word, try and twist things others say to make it seem like they’re liars ( remember they have to be liars because they criticised the insanity of the British royal family ) and basically deny these two are ever in danger. I think honestly they’d still blame them if they did get killed by paps. Like people do with Diana. They put all the fault on one element when investigators said it was a series of events including the fact they were chased.

Cowparslee · 18/05/2023 10:02

The only thing that is 'catastrophic' is the impact of this little PR disaster on Harry and Meghan's plummeting public image.

If Gwyneth and Cameron were unwilling to be seen with them earlier in the week, they'll be absolutely shuddering at the thought now

But the images a couple of lists above refer to 80mph.

Not so, she’s been entitled to call herself Princess Henry since marriage and “princess” is on Archie’s birth certificate, Duchess is just a superior title

Yep, and as behave has linked, they were more worried about the pedestrians, rather than themselves.
And this 'it was only 6 paps' when CNN say a dozen or so. For just one car, that's a lot.

I also saw the pap footage, a wonder the driver was even able to see anything with so much flash.

Yup it’s pretty scary. Remember when little Suri Cruise used to cry as a kid about the paps? Horrible.
Even the taxi drivers statement has been reframed. This is what he said:
*I was on 67th Street and then the security guard hailed me. Next thing you know, Prince Harry and his wife were hopping into my cab," he said.
"We got blocked by a garbage truck, and all of a sudden paparazzi came and started taking pictures." Harry and Meghan were about to share their destination when the security guard made the call to return to the police precinct.
"They looked nervous, I think they were being chased the whole day or something," Mr Singh said. "They were pretty nervous, but the security guard, he was on it."

Did PH/MM go rogue with that statement? Do they listen to anyone, at all, ever I wonder?

behaveasbefitsthesituationwillyas · 18/05/2023 10:00

Gosh. A secret service officer was scared as it's the worse thing he's ever been through! Blimey even the NY police weren't that bothered and ex secret service were scared. After hearing that, if I was Joe Biden, I think I'd be scared. Get yourself some city cops, Joe.

Yes, but she uses The Duchess of Sussex. That's her title. You can't go around calling her Princess Henry/Meghan when she doesn't use that. If all Harry's titles were taken away, she could only be knows as Princess Henry of Wales. She's only a princess of the UK through marriage. This means she won't ever be Princess Meghan.

I think we are saying the same thing! She is Princess Henry by marriage, but she uses Duchess as it’s higher ranking. She’s not Princess Meghan, there is no Princess Meghan.

Xenia · 18/05/2023 10:20

People usually choose to use the superior Title although some choose not to use a title at all I suppose.
