Some people just aren’t buying Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s version of skirting a photographer-induced car crash, which has garnered eerie comparisons to the manner in which Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, died. Unfortunately, it’s not just their detractors who are suggesting the couple may be overexaggerating. As stated above, the royal family, from whom Harry and Meghan are still estranged, have not commented on the couple’s encounter, according to Page Six. The outlet also reported that they haven’t so much as picked up a phone to check on their relatives, which could suggest they don’t believe the couple was actually in danger. (Or, you know, they’re still angry over their public spats.)
Either way, the royal family is definitely not backing them at the moment. Plus, suspicion over the incident seems to be building over time. Sukhcharn Singh, who drove the cab the couple switched to midway through the chase, offered up a considerably less dangerous timeline that definitely hasn’t helped their case. “They kept following us and were coming next to the car,” the driver shared with The Washington Post. “They took pictures as we stopped and were filming us… I don’t think I would call it a chase, I never felt like I was in danger. It wasn’t like a car chase in a movie. They were quiet and seemed scared but it’s New York — it’s safe.”
