Duke and Duchess of Sussex Face Backlash Over Alleged Car Chase in New York

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, find themselves embroiled in controversy once again.

They claim to have been involved in a near-catastrophic car chase through the streets of New York last week.

However, many experts have dismissed their account, stating that a two-hour car chase in Manhattan is highly unlikely.

This incident has sparked criticism and may have a long-lasting impact on the couple's reputation.

Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield joins us today to discuss the fallout from this self-created controversy.

She notes that even pro-Sussex media outlets are starting to question the couple's credibility.

Previously, these outlets had unquestioningly supported them, but now they are raising doubts.

For example, sources claim that the couple intentionally staged a paparazzi walk instead of discreetly leaving through the back exit.

Additionally, there are reports that they attempted to secure a discounted car rental, only to be rejected and subsequently drove aimlessly for two hours.

In an effort to settle the story, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly demanding that the photo agency, Backgrid, hand over all the images taken on the night in question.

However, Backgrid insists that the material belongs to them and the couple has no rights to it.

They argue that property rights in America prevent third parties from demanding access to such materials.

Backgrid even took a swipe at the couple, stating that American citizens would not simply hand over something to the crown, emphasizing their commitment to the principles established by the founding fathers.

The existence of footage capturing the events of that night raises questions about the couple's veracity.

It seems that many people, including the NYPD and the mayor, immediately doubted the plausibility of their claims.

This pushback from influential figures challenges the notion that the couple should be immune from scrutiny due to the tragic circumstances surrounding Princess Diana's death.

It is important to remember that such skepticism should not be unfairly imposed on Prince William or tarnish Diana's legacy.

Another concerning aspect of this incident is the recurring theme of Harry casting Meghan in the role of Diana.

This portrayal is not only strange and unhealthy but also deeply unsettling for Prince William, who lost his mother in a tragic car accident involving paparazzi.

Exploiting Diana's memory in this manner is grotesque and disrespectful.

Kinsey Schofield highlights the irony of the situation, pointing out that the recent Netflix documentary attempted to depict Meghan Markle as the new Diana.

However, the reality is far from this narrative.

The couple deliberately chose to stay at a private residence, with Prince Harry responsible for their security.

Their aimless drive around New York to evade photographers raises further questions.

The New York Times even raised the point that celebrities typically use parking garages to avoid paparazzi, which makes their actions seem ill-advised and in poor taste.

While short-term attention may be a factor, it is clear that the couple's lucrative deals, such as their Netflix documentary and podcast agreements with Spotify, require them to generate ongoing stories.

However, it is difficult to comprehend why they would concoct such an absurd and implausible tale.

Anyone familiar with Manhattan knows that a two-hour car chase through its streets is simply preposterous.

Kinsey Schofield suggests that Harry's passion for portraying Meghan as the new Diana may be the driving force behind this incident.

She believes that Harry genuinely felt threatened on that night, although it is also possible that he reacted impulsively, given the arrest of a 29-year-old man outside their Montecito mansion on the same evening.

Such impulsive behavior aligns with Harry's past actions.

Interestingly, Gayle King, Oprah's best friend and now a broadcaster for CNN, has publicly supported the Sussexes.

Kinsey Schofield speculates that this may be related to Gayle's new show, “King Charles,” on CNN.

There are rumors that Meghan Markle could be one of her first guests, which could explain Gayle's defense of the couple.

In conclusion, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's alleged car chase in New York has ignited a wave of skepticism and criticism.

Their claims have been widely dismissed, and media outlets that previously supported them are now questioning their credibility.

The couple's demands for photo evidence have been rejected, further casting doubt on their account of events.

The incident also highlights the problematic tendency to cast Meghan as the new Diana, which is both unsettling and disrespectful.

As the fallout from this controversy continues, it remains to be seen how it will impact the couple's future endeavors and public perception.
