The Duchess of Sussex has been honoured with the Women of Vision award for her support of women and girl. It is reported to be her first public appearance with Prince Harry since they missed the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla earlier this month. Meghan Markle reportedly wore a gold strapless dress by Colombian fashion designer Johanna Ortiz to the New York event, and came onto the stage to Alicia Keys’ song ‘Girl on Fire’. The duchess thanked feminist writer Gloria Steinem for “being the inspiration that you are, for your mentorship, your sage advice, your extraordinarily cheeky sense of humour and, of course, for your incredible friendship”. The event also honoured Black Lives Matter founder LaTosha Brown. Meghan urged the audience: “It’s just never too late to start. You can be the visionary of your own life”. The Women of Vision website describes her as “one of the most powerful and influential women in the world” and an “investor in dynamic female founded companies”.

A man was arrested on suspicion of stalking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle outside their Californian home. The incident comes after the royals had another intrusion to their property in 2020. At the time, the person who trespassed was named as Nikolas Brooks. In 2021, however, Kevin Garcia Valdovinos was charged for hassling and behaving suspiciously outside the Montecito mansion. Harry's lawyers confirmed that he should be allowed to challenge a decision by the government to deny him the right to pay for police protection when he returns to the United Kingdom.

The new Disney film version of The Little Mermaid, set to be released in cinemas next week, features a scene in which the prince guesses the name of the protagonist, Ariel, and his second guess is Catherine, the first name of Princess Diana.

Prince Harry’s fears about ‘history repeating itself’ resurface

The Independent

23-05-17 16:01


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly been involved in a dangerous car chase with paparazzi that allegedly lasted two hours, causing multiple near-collisions with other drivers and pedestrians. The event has led to immediate comparisons with Princess Diana, who was killed in a high-speed chase as she attempted to retreat from pursuing paparazzi through a Parisian tunnel in 1997. The incident also resurfaces Harry's public concerns over "history repeating itself". In the past, he has linked his mother's treatment by media to his experience with Markle's media representation. Harry has been openly critical of the media and the paparazzi ecosystem in general, citing it as a reason for he and Meghan's separation from the royal family and their decision to move to the United States. The couple, who have two young children, Archie and Lilibet, recently courted attention for their explosive interview conducted with Oprah Winfrey, during which they discussed their history with the British royal family and media, and the systemic racism faced by Markle.

Buckingham Palace stay silent on Prince Harry and Meghan’s car chase

The Independent

23-05-18 04:00


Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the latter’s mother were involved in a “near catastrophic car chase” with paparazzi after attending an award ceremony in New York. A spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex stated that the pursuit had lasted for more than two hours and had put “drivers on the road, pedestrians, and two NYPD officers” at risk. The New York Police Department confirmed that photographers had made the transport “challenging” but denied that accidents or arrests had taken place. Buckingham Palace has declined to comment on the incident.

The case is thought to have prompted concerns over the wellbeing of the royal couple, particularly in relation to the events that led to the death of Princess Diana in 1997. Speaking in his 2021 AppleTV+ series The Me You Can’t See, Prince Harry drew parallels between the worries he had felt over the treatment of his mother and his own experience dealing with the press and public scrutiny of his marriage to Meghan. Moreover, he described how little justice had been sought following the inquest into his mother’s death and the anger he felt towards the press.

Following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s car chase, Mayor of New York Eric Adams told reporters that members of the paparazzi must prioritise public safety. He stated that it was “clear that press, the paparazzi, they want to get the right shot… but public safety must always be at the forefront.” He reiterated concerns raised in the statement issued by Prince Harry’s spokesperson, and noted the potential risks presented by high-speed chases in a busy city like New York.

Harry and Meghan's security blocked street during 'reckless' escort, paparazzi claim

Telegraph

Paparazzi photographers have disagreed with suggestions that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan were involved in a high-speed chase in New York. The incident saw a squad car from the couple's security detail block off streets in a manner that could be considered reckless. Photographs of the couple leaving an award ceremony subsequently captured Markle smiling in a taxi. Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, said it was also difficult to believe that the couple had been pursued for two hours, whilst a taxi-driver observed that no-one had been in danger.

Harry’s security should have been ‘stage managed’, says bodyguard

The Independent

23-05-18 08:15


Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have been pursued by a group of paparazzi in the US city of New York, a situation that one former royal bodyguard dubbed “near-catastrophic”. Ken Wharfe, who was guardian to Harry and his brother Prince William before working for the late Princess Diana, said that the couple’s security should have been managed more effectively by those who had never protected such a high-profile celebrity. After two hours of pursuit, the incident ended without violence, injury or arrest.

The women’s advocacy event attended by Harry, Markle and Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, in New York constituted the couple’s first public appearance together since the Duchess of Sussex missed the King’s coronation earlier in May. In a statement, a spokesperson for the couple condemned dissemination of photographs taken during the pursuit, stating that it encouraged an “overly intrusive practice”. The statement said that the high-speed pursuit had included “multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers”.

Prince Harry is known for his opposition to aggressive press coverage, even more so since the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, in a 1997 Paparazzi chase. In recent years, the Duke of Sussex has launched various legal actions against UK newspapers, while describing his own experience of royal life and associated trauma in his best-selling memoir, Spare. Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the incident.
