I think he used wtte “it could’ve been fatal.”

Maybe it was nothing to do with where they were staying. Maybe they just wanted a bit of drama.
I can't think of another couple or celebrity who get their media strategy wrong as often as these two. How do they cope with humiliation after humiliation and keep coming back for more?!
They both appear to be sadly lacking in common sense.
I agree- sounds like they didn’t want to disclose where they were staying.
Orrr my cynical mind wonders if they wanted a bit of drama to support his case for protection.
I'm wondering if they knew they were papped without seat belts and put out the pursuit story with the warning not to publish the photos to try and kill the inevitable criticism?
there's several photos of them not wearing seatbelts throughout the years. There's a photo from the netflix doc that shows Meg and Archie not wearing seatbelts in a moving car! Who puts their toddler in danger like that?
'Invasive paparazzi that our hired security couldn't cope with' would have supported the court case just fine.
But Harry and Meghan are thick and overly dramatic, so they decided to invoke Ar Di
Agreed, why the duck isn't he wearing a seatbelt given that's what truly killed his mother?

I think she was invited to Mark Phillips' other daughter's wedding even though by then divorced. So it possibly is her.
Oh dear, that car chase statement was badly chosen.
It's a very clear attempt to evoke images of Diana, and elicit fears for their safety.
The thing is, if they'd cited paparazzi harassment to the degree that they felt the need to take alternative routes and seek police support, which appears to be the crux of the incident, they'd have likely gained some positive attention for Harry's anti-press crusade.

It gets more embarrassing. First the mayor, then the NYPD downplaying it now the pap agency Backgrid saying it was H&M that got pulled over by the police for erratic driving.
Do you think perhaps they were worried about that story getting out and they thought they’d try and get in front of it by claiming it was a chase?
They've really messed up with this. Imagine if it's brought up by the Home Office in their court case as proof that Harry exaggerates the threat or something. How are they so bad at PR?

I'd not give Backgrid too much credit as a reliable source. "Professional responsibility to cover newsworthy events and personalities" is not a good description of a paparazzo's job.
There's likely truth in the middle - the paparazzi were getting closer than Harry & Meghan were comfortable with, and harassing them. Due to existing paranoia, they (Harry and Meghan) were likely on high alert and had their team take risks they shouldn't have to avoid the paparazzi, and saw (and made a PR release to match) it in the style of Diana's son having to risk reliving her fate.
I think that it plays well into their current legal and media push, but that's more because the legal and media push are resultant of how Harry sees himself and the world.

Backgrid could clear this up by releasing the videos they have, unless they are trying to get H&M to shoot themselves in the foot
Backgrid is the agency Meghan has called several times to photograph her...
I’m surprised there is no footage from passers by. Surely one person would have noticed this 2 hour chase with vehicles mounting pavements, etc or is it a common occurrence in NY?
I still don’t understand them not wearing seatbelts though. I’d have thought what with Harry’s paranoia that Meghan will end up like his mother that wearing seatbelts is non-negotiable.
GMA says they were home in 20 min
The police interaction with the couple lasted no more than 20 minutes, according to police sources. If the episode lasted the two hours Meghan and Harry say it did, it was due to their own security wanting to avoid revealing where they were staying, not because they were being chased, the sources said.

And this from People Mag
PEOPLE has viewed video footage of part of the incident, showing an NYPD cop talking to the driver of an SUV, which is stationary in the middle of the street. It is not possible to see who is in the vehicle, but the source alleges that, before the footage was taken, "Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's driver gets pulled over after he was observed by NYPD swerving and almost hitting pedestrians while trying to evade the paparazzi." In addition to those allegations, the source says the driver was wearing a suit and driving an SUV and the Sussexes were not in a yellow taxi cab at this point.

Witnesses Speak Out After Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's 'Near Catastrophic' Car Chase
The NYPD, taxi driver Sukhcharn Singh, Backgrid USA Inc. and more are sharing details on what allegedly happened after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry left the an event in New York City and were pursued by paparazzi
I wait with bated breath (not ) for their next staged event/announcement......

The comment from M&H’s spokesperson never said it was high speed (which is what the Mayor says).
I can see them being pursued by the paparazzi for around two hours but I think the spokesperson used exaggerated language such as ‘chase’ (you automatically think speed is involved), ‘catastrophic’, ‘relentless’, etc. No doubt it would have been scary for H&M and Doria, especially as in the back of their mind the Paris car crash is there.
Also, not wearing seatbelts is idiotic. Even though no one in the Paris crash were wearing seatbelts, it’s still more likely to save your life and prevent harm.
