Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s aim to receive privacy from constant media intrusion seems to be failing! The couple decided to step down from their royal duties in 2020 and shift to the US. However, since then, the couple has been opening up in the media about the ill-treatment that they received at the hands of the royal family.
The paparazzi went wild to get a picture of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The couple was in New York to attend an honorary gala where Meghan received an award. After leaving the venue, paparazzi started chasing them by jumping lights and curbs and threatening the lives of pedestrians. The narrative divided the internet. But the couple is now receiving support from the Americans.

May 2023 was a difficult month for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The couple was in the spotlight throughout King Charles III’s coronation week. Meghan Markle‘s absence and Prince Harry’s short-lived presence agitated royal family members and experts. During the same month, they were in the middle of a paparazzi car chase, which was eerily similar to Princess Diana’s chase in 1997.
The media deemed the whole narrative about the fatal car chase exaggerated. Now, Redfield & Wilton Strategies has surveyed 1,500 adults in the USA who are aware of the paparazzi drama. As per the survey, 52% of the people believed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s narrative. 60 percent of young people from the ages of 18 to 24 backed the story. 71% of people believe the couple is in their mid-twenties.

The Couple And The Media Organizations Went Back And Forth Over Handing The Footage To The Ex-Royals
The paparazzi car chase left Prince Harry and Meghan Markle deeply exhausted and shocked. As per the account of their security personnel, the car chase could have turned fatal and led to many fatalities. There was chaos in the New York streets, where cars were reversing on one-way streets and paparazzi were clicking pictures in a moving car.
As per TMZ, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have asked Backgrid for the footage to increase their security. The couple’s lawyer wrote a letter to the media organization, stating, “We hereby demand that Backgrid immediately provide us with copies of all photos, videos, and/or films taken last night by the freelance photographers after the couple left their event and over the next several hours.”
Backgrid’s lawyers clapped back at the couple, writing, “In America, as I’m sure you know, property belongs to the owner of it. Third parties cannot just demand it be given to them, as perhaps Kings can do.”
The letter continued, “Perhaps you should sit down with your client and advise them that his English rules of royal prerogative to demand that the citizenry hand over their property to the Crown were rejected by this country long ago. We stand by our founding fathers.”
