Prince Harry, Meghan Markle ‘exaggerated’ car chase story makes ‘zero
sense’
Prince Harry, Meghan Markle slammed for not keeping at
least two bodyguards with them in New York City
Prince Harry and
Meghan Markle were called out by a security expert over their claims of
“near catastrophic” car chase in New York, saying it makes “no sense.”
According
to spokesperson of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the duo along with Doria
Ragland were followed by “highly aggressive paparazzi” after they left a
charity event at the Ziegfeld Ballroom.
It was reported that the couple left in a SUV from the event
and were forced to seek refuge in a police station 18 blocks away. Later,
they were spotted leaving in yellow cab with just one bodyguard.
Discussing
the incident, AllSTAR Security President Mark Selden told Fox News Digital,
“They were at a police precinct, which is the safest environment they could
be in.”
“And that's where they should have stayed in a safe
environment, never should have left,” he added while pointing out that the
couple should have at least two security guards with them.
He
also noted that leaving the police station in a taxicab was a bad decision
which put the former working royals in "an unsafe position."
"If what I understand, they were with one security guard from
what I've read, allegedly,” he said. And, you know, one security guard is
obviously not enough for the former royals or the royals that they are."
Selden
went on to add that the Sussex’s claim that the paparazzi chased their cab
for two hours that to in New York’s jam packed streets made "zero sense" to
him.
"It makes zero sense to someone who's a New Yorker," he
said. "You could have gone to a police station in 15 minutes anywhere in New
York City, could have gone to a firehouse, go to a governmental
building.”
“You could have gone to a hotel where [the paparazzi]
could have been locked out. You could have gone anywhere. You could have
been in a much more safe situation, let alone running around New York City
in a car."
He continued: "I can't imagine running around New York City for
two hours and not finding safety is beyond me. I mean, you can walk into a
hotel, you can walk into a building, you can walk into a Fifth Avenue
building, and they'll close the door behind them and lead you to safety … I
mean, there are buildings you can walk into that will take you in for cover.
I mean, all over New York."
