That car chase

So they weren't lying and instead the NYPD were lying.

I wonder if this will be picked up by any of the papers here.

New york Post is owned by Rupert murdocs NewsCorp.

They were in litigation with prince Harry at the time.

I wonder who the paps involved were working for/

This letter, by John B Hart was sent right at the last minute of Harry's court date.

I hardly think a letter sent in December for a judgement in February could be considered last minute. Perhaps our colleagues who work in law might tell us otherwise.

It would be the last minute for filling to allow the other side to respond

The JR hearing was over 3 days in December - 5/6/7 I believe. The letter presented by Prince Harry's team was dated 6 December and presumably presented to court on 6 or 7 December. The date of the judgment being in February is neither here nor there. The letter was presented in front of the judge and the other side "at the last minute" as far as the hearing itself goes, and far after the usual time periods for disclosure of documents. The ability of the RAVEC lawyers to consider that evidence and make any arguments about it was indeed left to the 11th hour by Harry's lawyers.

Plus ca change

So what we have seen in action is:

It didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's actually their fault.
And because of that, they deserved it.
And actually they engineered it all to affect a court case and so we’re back to step one.

Please read the judgement - there’s about 50 pages which are quite mind numbingly full of legal jargonese and redactions but there is some very interesting information about what was happening behind the scenes in 2022 before Elizabeth died security wise.

That’s a lot of distortion and misrepresentation right there.

And what a reductive and simplistic breakdown, it’s almost like you don’t want the detail and nuance there just so you can make your point. Is the bias conscious or unconscious I wonder?

Is that the case? Surely NYC high end hotels have a way of admitting famous guests that mean they can avoid the paparazzi?

I think they would love to host Harry and Meghan again. They apparently took great care of Diana whenever she was there.

Although maybe it was under construction at the time. I was at a hotel last year and a man that usually lives in the Carlyle wandered down in his pajamas. He’d taken up residence there because the Carlyle was undergoing renovations.

I find these grand old places fascinating.
