The world’s most controversial royal couple just made a massive bid for attention.
But their bold publicity stunt just backfired on them.
And Harry and Meghan get caught telling a royal tall tale after their tax-funded protection weighs in.
The world was shocked and horrified when Princess Diana was killed in a car accident at age 36.
The fiery crash in France came as the princess was trying to evade the paparazzi.
Now her youngest son, Prince Harry, who is 38, is claiming he and his wife, Meghan were subjected to a more than two-hour long “near catastrophic” paparazzi chase in New York City.
While it offers the couple a poetic opportunity to snatch back headlines following King Charles’ coronation, the accuracy of their claims is doubtful at best.
According to the couple they were involved in a “relentless pursuit” by “a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi” after they left a Midtown Manhattan event.
“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers,” Harry and Meghan’s spokesperson claimed.
Initially, their claims had the desired effect with Big Apple Mayor Eric Adams referring to the implied dramatic significance of the situation mirroring the crash that led to Diana’s death.
“I don’t think there’s many of us who don’t recall how his mom died,” Adams told reporters during a completely unrelated press conference.
Tax dollars spent to protect Meghan and Harry
However, the New York Police Department had a far less heart palpitating take on the royal couple’s ordeal.
“The NYPD assisted the private security team protecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex,” the NYPD explained via a statement. “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.”
The New York Post also reported that it was able to find a “high-ranking source” who noted that there were “no collision reports or 911 calls.”
That same source added that the chase “definitely wasn’t two hours.”
The NYPD should know exactly what went down considering that when the couple left the ballroom they were accompanied by both a private security car and a NYPD vehicle.
This is just the latest attempt for the royal couple to capture headlines despite their propensity to file lawsuits against media outlets that fail to cover them in a positive light.
The couple has filed lawsuits against news agencies going back to 2019.
