Their representative stated last week that the couple's cab was pursued for over two hours around NYC, but this assertion was contradicted by several experts, putting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in an uncomfortable position.
Following the apparent backlash to Prince Harry's claims, Mary Madigan from News AU sympathetically remarked, "Poor Harry! How did things become so incredibly awkward?" She went on to say, "Harry has made a big mistake, and now everyone has turned against the couple...
So when they released that statement about being chased by paparazzi, it wasn't received with concern." Madigan contemplated that instead, people rolled their eyes and doubted the accuracy of their account, highlighting the public's growing frustration with what she called "Hollywood Harry."
She added, "People are starting to feel resentful that a man who essentially does nothing is receiving so much attention."
Madigan concluded by stating, "Harry needs to realize that he must offer something of substance to regain the public's support, otherwise everyone will continue to dismiss him." It is worth noting that shortly after news of Harry's supposed car chase went viral, Eric Adams, the Mayor of New York City, expressed skepticism, saying, "I find it hard to believe there was a two-hour high-speed chase."
Even the cab driver involved shared his perspective, stating, "I wouldn't describe it as a chase. I never felt endangered. It wasn't like a car chase in a movie."
In 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior members of the royal family and have since made their home in the United States, where they reside with their children Archie and Lilibet.
Prince Harry has been a vocal critic of tabloid culture and especially the paparazzi, whom he holds responsible for the tragic death of his mother, Princess Diana. She died in a car accident in a Paris tunnel while attempting to escape from pursuing photographers.
