Very true and that is the point ......... their PR team put out quite the story and as more and more reporting comes in from police, taxi driver, actual video .......... seems they "exaggerated" a bit.
I just saw the coverage on TMZ Live. They say the incident did take two hours from start to finish. The Sussexes actually had hired FOUR cars for themselves, one for them, two of them were their own security cars, and the fourth was used to block as many paparazzi as possible from following them. So they KNEW they would be followed.
They supposedly stopped at a few police precincts along their drive. Before hopping into a yellow cab, thinking they could use that to get lost in the crowd of yellow cabs. Except, that cab ended up just circling the block back to the precinct, maybe as the driver didn't want to get involved in that drama. And they didn't know if the driver can drive any better than the driver that killed Diana.
When the Sussexes were asked why they didn't just go directly to their destination, they said they were staying with a friend and didn't want to involve them.
Why does it just not occur to them to decide at the moment they are being chased to just stay at a posh hotel and tell their friends they were now going to leave them out of it by going there? One with a back exit. One used to protecting high end guests? And one they can check into and stay for several hours or overnight? Or at least, until they can gather more and better security? It never occurs to them to just STOP and stay in place. Their ONLY option was to get into a car, then a taxi, and back to their car, and do a high speed chase in between????
Honestly, I don't dislike either of them, but they are annoying. They are hypocrites. 
The Meg always has a "different" point of view.Local NYC ABC news has a clip interviewing the taxi driver. It's not up on their website yet. I'll post it once it's up.
The local NYC ABC news is now saying there seems to be <cough> two conflicting reports of events. The local news went from saying earlier how the Sussexes spokeperson said it was a 2 hour near catastrophic ordeal, to new "facts" emerging after the taxi driver was interviewed. HE says it wasn't really that chaotic. That the paparazzi photogs stayed the respectful distance away from the cab while shooting photos, as he knows the NYC paparazzi do.He didn't really look like he was hungry for attention and embellished so he could talk to media. Maybe they didn't tip him well when they got out?
The news reporter also said they made their way to the 19th police precinct where they DID spend some time there UNTIL the hubbub died down, and that's when they got into a taxi.
TMZ had shown footage of the Sussexes & her mom in the cab and the shot was from about a 4-6 foot distance, which corresponds with the taxi driver. There were no photographers pressed right up against the car windows shooting in, there were no photogs directly blocking the taxi, they would have been in the shot. Their security guard jumped out of the front of the taxi to shoo the pap further away. Then HE didn't get back in the taxi. If they were in that much danger, why wouldn't he have stayed with the taxi?
Also, backtracking, they originally got into a car on W 55th St, which would have taken them west into the HEART of Broadway theatre traffic. Us lowly peasants have to wait quite a while for our car to crawl down 7th Ave and back around the block to a block heading east there is so much traffic at that time. I've spent a good deal of time staring at the fare rack up on the taxi meter when I've had to loop around a block.
So, "two hours" seems to suggest the whole time from start to finish (including waiting in the precinct) that they were in the "near catastrophic ordeal." Not that they were in the car being chased the whole time.
Also, if they DID get on the FDR Drive highway, there are exits about every 10 blocks. I can't imagine that Harry would have just sat back and not said, "Get off this highway! Don't speed!" So, they got on the FDR at 54th St, to loop back down on at 63rd or 71st St exits. They go back 4 avenues (with street lights) to end up at the police precinct at 67th and 3rd Ave before hopping in the and out of the cab.
Yeah I still remember her kidnapping attempt.
Nobody here has wished harm to him or his wife.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that anyone did. Just stating my own thoughts.
It's not the 1980's or 90's. Plenty of actual celebrities move around NYC without problems. Ultra high end hotel, underground garage to venue and back. Easy peasy.
I’m quite familiar with NYC, I’ve lived in the area my whole life and have seen plenty of famous people in Manhattan. I don’t bother them. I’m not criticizing or defending everything Prince Harry does, however because of who he is, I believe he has a legitimate need for security. That may change over time as the attention on him dies down in the future, but for now, it is, IMO, a real concern. You can disagree.
Were the Sussexes looking out the car the whole time, counting the many near collisions? Their spokesperson could say dozens of near collisions almost happened and that a near catastrophic car chase also almost happened. But, the fact is they didn't happen. NOT ONE according to NYPD.
It was for allegedly being a feminist, philanthropist and role model. According to a recent tax filing MM only dedicated an hour a week to their foundation. Supposedly only a fraction of donations to Archewell are doled out as grants.
