Wasn’t the SA tour when they were still part of the Royal family? To be fair, they would have to fly in certain vehicles used by the close protection officers.Why would two people, who are paranoid about security, travelling in a dedicated security vehicle with tinted windows, from which they cannot be seen, change into a standard New York cab for everyone to see them and photograph them?
When they visited South Africa they flew over a fleet of Range Rovers to travel in, but in the good ole we-are-allowed-to-bear-arms USA, they happily hop into a cab - Harold filming on his phone to get 'evidence' of a photog for his RAVEK court case.
It has to be said, I'd be happier in a taxi in NYC than Joburg.When they visited South Africa they flew over a fleet of Range Rovers to travel in, but in the good ole we-are-allowed-to-bear-arms USA, they happily hop into a cab - Harold filming on his phone to get 'evidence' of a photog for his RAVEK court case.
Much the same apparently for the two Danish princes with a completely separate life, rarely seeing their parents and mostly punishment by their father.Even in the 60s it was like that. Princess Caroline of Monaco (Grace Kelly’s daughter) said a few years ago that her and her siblings were closer to the Nanny than their own mother, and would get upset when the Nanny went away during the summer holidays. Grace would call the Nanny back earlier for them. The siblings didn’t even eat with their parents until they were 14!
My point and question still stands. Anyone who's ever travelled to South Africa would know there are no shortages of SUVs or Range Rovers, so no imports were needed for officers. There was most likely some promotional deal struck with Land Rover. I wonder whose pockets benefited from that deal?Wasn’t the SA tour when they were still part of the Royal family?

My understanding is that the BRF have always had a deal with Land Rover, starting from early in the Queen’s reign. They frequently use it in their promo. It’s certainly not unique to the SA tour.My point and question still stands.

I may be incorrect, but I doubt that any special fleet was flown over to the Caribbean tour for W&C's staff.
So, again, my question is, why would someone this paranoid about security and overly concerned with appearing important, suddenly happily hop into a cab, where he is effectively a sitting duck, unless ulterior motives are afoot. This, from the Harrold who justifies his numerous private flights because of his and his family's safety and security. Why is he suddenly in a cab? Because he wants and needs to use the Diana-style 'catastrophic car chase' to force the Court's hand in his favour. To use your deceased mother in this manner, is frankly disgusting.
The security guard in Paris wore a seat belt, and was the only one to survive the car crash.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.
The Paget report said none of the occupants were wearing seatbelts.The security guard in Paris wore a seat belt, and was the only one to survive the car crash.
They don’t use common garden SUVs etc, they are bespoke vehicles. They couldn’t get enough secure cars in SA, a dangerous country, so they shipped in their own. They have done this with other tours for other members of the family.My point and question still stands.

I’ve always said that Harry just has the type of personality that will never be comtent. He will always be looking over the fence and thinking the grass is greener and that he would only be happy if he could join the Army/have less press interest/have a family of his own/be out of the Royal bubble but every time he gets his if it’s not enough and off he goes looking for the next if and eyeing up the grass over the next fence.Yeah i tend to agree with others saying he is looking for issues now it seems and he's obviously not in the right headspace. God knows what his mentality is like, but he isn't able to stay quiet and live his life in California.
Yeah I'm not sure what exactly he wants at this point. He wanted to be out of the RF. He is now out of the RF and wanting privacy, but not a week or so (it seems like anyway) goes by without a story about them. Maybe that's the media's fault for reporting on their moves, but at some point they need to just live their lives without attention.I’ve always said that Harry just has the type of personality that will never be comtent.

Didn’t want to compromise security but drove around for 2 hours and got in a random taxi without wearing seat belts. There do such weird and confusing things. Who in their security team authorised that?BBC reporting that they were staying at a friend’s house and didn’t want to compromise their security.
Harry and Meghan: What we know so far about the New York paparazzi incident
The couple's spokesperson says paparazzi pursued them for two hours - although conflicting accounts have emerged.www.bbc.co.uk
There's a vid out from TMZ of H&M's taxi blocking the route of 2 police cars with sirens on. The police cars go completely the opposite way to H&M as soon as both cars are moving, so weren't an escort for them.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
He won’t dare. It took the US media a few hours to track down that taxi driver and get his side of the story. They can track down far more if Harry pokes that bear.I do wonder if we'll see Harry start to see and speak about the American press the way he does the UK press. If yes, they could have some struggles ahead given they've already burned their bridges in the UK. If they burn them in the US they'll be rather low on options.
