Experts express concern that Prince Harry, understandably so, allows his mother's encounter with the paparazzi to influence his judgment, without fully acknowledging that this distressing reality is an inherent part of being a public figure.
British columnist Jan Moir has shared these allegations and observations, revealing her insights to the Daily Mail. She begins by stating, "Undoubtedly, everyone has been cautious and sympathetic, recognizing how even a brief encounter with paparazzi, even at a slow speed of 5mph, can trigger distress for Prince Harry."
"It is understandable how his traumatic experiences may heighten his response compared to others, leading him to perceive the incident as a near-death experience. For Prince Harry, that might be the intensity of his emotions surrounding the event."
"However, for others, it simply reflects the harsh reality of living as a celebrity in the streets of 21st-century America. In this realm, what one person might perceive as a catastrophic car chase could be regarded by another as merely searching for a parking spot while navigating the challenges of fame."
Moir also draws attention to Omid Scobie's controversial response when backlash ensued against Harry and Meghan. She refers to his attempt to clarify the couple's initial statement by attributing it to their emotional state. Nonetheless, Moir raises doubts about this swift shift in explanation, questioning, "Does that excuse their actions? No, it does not. What we need is the unadulterated truth, not a diluted version."
"What is necessary is for the New York Police Department to initiate an investigation. The 18,000 police cameras, which surveil almost every corner of the city, possess the capability to reveal the truth and remain impartial, unaffected by personal tragedies clouding their focus."
