QUESTIONS ARE being asked about the six blacked-out cars with paparazzi who tailed Meghan and Harry for two hours at speeds up to 80mph.
Social media accounts are asking why ‘photographers’ were in cars with blacked-out windows after so many photos were taken of the couple at a New York gala.
Meghan and Harry’s spokesperson described the pursuit as “near catastrophic” which revived memories of the death of Harry’s mother Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997.
Ashley Hansen, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s press secretary, said: “I have never experienced their vulnerability as much as I did last night. They were incredibly scared and shaken up.”
The paparazzi ran red lights, drove on the pavement, reversed down a one-way street and involved “multiple near collisions” in a “relentless” pursuit of the couple and Meghan’s mother, Dora Ragland, from 10pm to midnight on Tuesday.
However, the BBC Radio 4 Today programme described it as “a cat and mouse” incident between photographers and the couple.
Meghan and Harry have not been contacted by the royal family, and Buckingham Palace refused to comment, according to reports today.
At one point in the pursuit, the couple’s SUV approached a police station, and they also briefly swapped their SUV for a New York yellow taxi but when they did not work circled back to their car.
One person on Twitter, @tarmactorque, commented: “I don’t care if I sound crazy. Only two publications posted pictures from Harry and Meghan’s chase. Clear pictures had been taken at the event. There was no need to chase them. This feels….like they wanted a lot worse to happen. These tabloids are truly horrific.”
New York resident @typeatracey added: “Celebrities come to NYC to be left alone. NYC paparazzi do not act this way at all. In a past life, I worked with a few as well as photo agencies and this type of behavior is unheard of. My money is on British tabloid operatives.”
The Daily Mail and Daily Express deleted pap shots of the couple taken during the pursuit.

Some Americans have said they are going to the U.S. Federal government to bar entry to the United States of America of sick obsessive and lying British Tabloids parading as journalists. These out-of-control morons with nothing to do are jealous to the point of hate that Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle have found peace and wealth in her native California. It’s amazing that these terrorists, some of whom are responsible for the death of Prince Harry’s mother, the late Diana. Pierce Morgan is the leader of these terrorists and should be barred from the U.S. The lies he promotes, are based on envy and are intended to cause major harm to Prince Harry and his family, who just want to live in peace. These terrorists are going to be stopped and for the life of many, we do not understand why the British government allows the lying criminals to continue to exist. They do not have a clue as to what goes on behind closed doors with Harry and Meghan so they feel free to create sensational lies. The tables are going to be turned on them when photos and videos are taken of their ugly faces and turned over to the U.S. immigration authority. Watch out!!!
