Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly failed to obtain images from Tuesday’s “near catastrophic” paparazzi incident from photo agency Backgrid.

The legal team representing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex demanded that Backgrid “immediately provide us with copies of all photos, videos, and/or films” of the events in New York, according to TMZ.

Backgrid clearly felt the former royals were misinformed about the American way of handling such situations, and gave them a nudge in the right direction.

“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,” Backgrid wrote in a letter to Harry and Markle, per TMZ.

There is no legal basis for the demand-letter, yet it was reportedly sent in hopes Backgrid would willingly comply. The company didn’t hold back when responding to the demands set forth by Markle and Harry’s lawyers.

“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,” they wrote.

“We stand by our founding fathers,” Backgrid wrote, in defiance of their demands exactly how the Founders would’ve wanted.

Terrified Paparazzi Photographer Starting To Think This Meghan Markle Girl Is Stalking Him

https://babylonbee.com/news/terrified-paparazzi-photographer-starting-to-think-this-meghan-markle-girl-is-stalking-him

NEW YORK, NY — A terrified paparazzi photographer is asking for privacy following an altercation with the Duchess of Sussex in downtown NYC this week.

Eddie Duarte, a freelance celebrity photographer, says he's beginning to suspect Meghan Markle is stalking him after he noticed the defunct royal following him while he was trying to have dinner with his family.

"I just looked over and there she was, hiding behind a bush," Duarte told reporters. "What was really strange was, when I saw her, she immediately held up a sign with flashing lights that said ‘I'm Meghan Markle! I'm oppressed!' It was weird."

 Meghan Markle, Prince Harry personally decided to parade past photographers before ‘chase’

As the couple moved across the sidewalk, Prince Harry's expression changed.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle personally decided to walk in front of the group of photographers outside the Ziegfeld Ballroom on Tuesday night — who they later blamed for an allegedly “near-catastrophic car chase.”

The couple’s decision was made despite their security being led by a former member of Barack Obama’s Secret Service detail known as “the king of the back exits” for his ability to quietly get celebrities out of high-profile situations.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were accompanied by Chris Sanchez, a renowned ex-Secret Serviceman, as they left the Ziegfeld Ballroom on Tuesday night.

Sanchez was with the Sussexes as they jumped from a blacked-out SUV into a yellow taxi while trying to escape from the photographers who were trying to follow them back to a friend’s home.

A source close to the Sussexes told us the couple decided to walk out the back of the ballroom around 10 p.m. because they wanted to give waiting photographers a shot of them.

 Report emerges of Prince Harry’s swanky hotel room ‘set aside’ away from Meghan Markle as reps deny rumors
By Jack Hobbs   
May 21, 2023 1:04pm

It’s a “Spare” BNB.

A new report emerged Saturday that Prince Harry allegedly has room at the San Vicente Bungalows “set aside” for him to get away from his wife Meghan Markle, 41, and kids Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 1, says The Sun.

A rep for the royal later debunked the rumor stating “This is not true.”

The source told the outlet that the room, which is close to the royal’s $15 million Montecito home, was viewed as “an escape place” by the 38-year-old prince.

Reports of the alleged room appeared after the couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary last week and failed to post any photos of the event.

The Post reached out to San Vicente Bungalows for comment.

A spokesperson for Archewell — Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s non-profit organization — denied the existence of the room.

San Vicente Bungalows is an exclusive members-only hotel in West Hollywood with strict privacy rules that state guests are not allowed to take pictures inside the establishment and all phone cameras must be covered at all times.


Those wishing to join the exclusive club must pay nearly $4,000 in annual dues and be vetted by a panel of existing members.

Prince Harry’s rep debunks report claiming he has private hotel without Meghan Markle

Prince Harry does not have a hotel room that he allegedly uses to escape from wife Meghan Markle, despite a new report claiming otherwise.

A rep for the Duke of Sussex debunked the rumor on Sunday, telling Page Six, “This is not true.”

Sources claimed to The Sun Saturday that Harry, 38, has a private room “set aside” in a luxury hotel near his and Markle’s Montecito, Calif., home for when he needs alone time.

The outlet further claimed that Harry — who shares son Archie, 4, and daughter Lilibet, 1, with wife Meghan, 41 — would also allegedly run to his “escape place” at San Vicente Bungalows, a private members club in Los Angeles with strict rules to protect its guests.

Gayle King thinks it’s “troubling” that people are “downplaying” the two-hour paparazzi chase her pals Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were involved in earlier this week in New York City.

“I think it was a very unfortunate incident,” the CBS journalist exclusively told Page Six Saturday at the 148th Preakness Stakes in Baltimore, Md.

“It’s troubling to me that anybody would try to downplay what that would mean to them. That’s very troubling to me.” ... NY Post/Page Six

Prince William crowned as ‘His Royal Hotness’ in new sporty rowing video

By Samantha Ibrahim
May 22, 2023

Fans have found a new appreciation for Prince William and his unmistakable bald head.

The Prince of Wales, 40, got social media hot and bothered on Sunday when he was spotted rowing with the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy.

He joined the crew of the HMS Oardacious in Buckinghamshire, UK, in honor of Mental Health Week.

The royals posted a clip on their official Instagram account showing William rocking black shades, shorts and a blue sweater as he ferociously paddled a boat.

People nearly fell over the Duke of Cambridge’s appearance, with one commenter swooning: “Ah yes His Royal Hotness does it again!”

Prince Harry loses legal challenge to pay for police protection in UK

By Snejana Farberov
May 23, 2023

Prince Harry on Tuesday lost a legal bid to challenge the British government’s decision barring him from paying for police protection during his visits to the UK.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, and his wife, Meghan Markle, 41, were stripped of taxpayer-funded police protection after they stepped back from being “working royals” and moved to the US in 2020.

Harry’s lawyers had sought a judicial review of the government’s refusal of his offer to hire police officers as his private security detail. But London’s High Court ruled Tuesday to deny the review.

The decision to remove publicly funded security was made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, known as RAVEC.

Last week, Prince Harry’s lawyers argued during a one-day hearing that RAVEC did not have the authority to reject his offer to pay police for security — and even if it did, it was wrong not to consider an exception, or hear his challenge.

Well,it ain't like they are beggars. They EACH  have multiple millions,so the money they spend  for private security is like taking the kids out for ice cream for the rest of us.

Yes.  However, what they were apparently trying to do was to Shanghai the UK police - the government security - into providing them with personal security at their own expense.  The UK police were not in the mood to act as personal security to the ginger grifter and his bride, so they said no, regardless of who paid for it.

Prince Harry has ‘finally woken up to the truth’ about Meghan, royal expert says

By Nika Shakhnazarova
May 27, 2023

Prince Harry has “finally woken up to the truth” about his wife Meghan Markle, according to the late Princess Diana’s former butler.

Paul Burrell, who worked for Diana for over 10 years until her sudden death in 1997, has sensationally claimed that the Duke of Sussex is only staying in the marriage so that he can see his two children, Archie and Lilibet, grow up.

“Am I the only person in the UK that is thinking, has Harry finally woken up to the truth? Has he finally seen the truth of what his wife is doing and that he’s been brainwashed and mesmerized by her beauty or something? Because we all know that but he doesn’t seem to see it,” Burrell said on GB News Friday.

Burrell, 64, then echoed King Charles’ former butler Grant Harrold’s recent prediction, saying he believes that the exiled royal will soon return to home soil for good.

Not sure about this story since Meghan has her hooks in him by having 2 children...would he return *home* without them?....

Nothing like a little semi-salacious royal gossip.  Considering the model of parenting he has from his parents, particularly his father, I'm not sure how much of a hook that would be, as a practical matter.

Princess Anne has soft spot for Prince Harry, but even she is furious: royal expert

By Nika Shakhnazarova
May 30, 2023

Even as Prince Harry’s last royal lifeline, Princess Anne has been left “furious” by his recent antics, according to a royal expert.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, unleashed a series of protocol-shattering revelations about his family in January with the release of his bombshell memoir, “Spare.”

The book was closely followed by a slew of high-publicity projects, including a controversial Netflix documentary and several high-profile sit-down interviews.

And while the Princess Royal has typically had Harry’s back in the past due to a “soft spot” for her nephew, it is now claimed that even she has had enough.

“Princess Anne is is a very straight-down-the-line and blunt sort of person,” royal expert Jennie Bond told OK! Magazine. “She says what she thinks, she doesn’t pretend anything. She is probably like her late mother as Queen Elizabeth could always compartmentalize everything she was told.”

Britain's society, that prides itself on 'keeping a stiff upper lip', has little tolerance for Harry's pity party.

Things don't go well for Royals when they marry American divorcees.

 Prince Harry wanted to leave royal family before marrying Meghan Markle: author
By Samantha Ibrahim   
May 30, 2023 9:32am

Prince Harry seemed to be itching to leave the royal family even before he married Meghan Markle.

In a resurfaced 2017 interview with author Angela Levin, the Duke of Sussex, 38, claimed he “wanted out” of royal life.

The “Harry: A Biography of a Prince” writer had spoken to him about his desire for an “ordinary life” and she penned his thoughts for her Daily Mail column at the time.

“I spent many years kicking my heels and I didn’t want to grow up,” Harry told the journalist.

“I felt I wanted out but then decided to stay in and work out a role for myself,” he added.

The now-father of two went on to say how he is “determined to have a relatively normal life” and hoped that he would be lucky enough to have children in the future.

He then recounted what it was like to walk with his brother Prince William behind their mother Princess Diana’s coffin at her 1997 funeral when they were barely teens.

“I don’t think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances. It certainly wouldn’t happen today,” he recalled.

 Feds to appear in court over Prince Harry’s visa after drug use admissions
By Snejana Farberov   
May 31, 2023 8:26am

The US government will appear in court next week to answer questions about Prince Harry’s visa application after a conservative think tank demanded that it be unsealed, given his admitted drug use.

The Department of Homeland Security will face off on June 6 against the Heritage Foundation, which filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit earlier this month to compel the agency to release the Duke of Sussex’s immigration records, arguing that they are of “immense public interest.”

So far, the US government has refused to make the 38-year-old royal’s visa application public.

Nile Gardiner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, tweeted Tuesday that the hearing will be in DC federal court and open to the press.

Gardiner touted the upcoming hearing — likely the first of many to come — as a “very significant development.”

“It significantly raises the stakes here,” he told the Telegraph. “I think that so far the Biden administration has been stonewalling the freedom.”

Any foreign national seeking to obtain a US visa or permanent resident status is required to answer questions about their past drug use.

Under US immigration law, a visa applicant who is “determined to be a drug abuser” is deemed “inadmissible” — although immigration officials are permitted to make exceptions.

Harry, Meghan Markle to ‘stop writing books, documentaries’ as there’s ‘nothing left to say’: report

By Nika Shakhnazarova
June 1, 2023

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have “nothing left to say.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to stop publishing tell-alls, engaging in sit-down interviews, and taking part in large-scale documentaries in a shocking U-turn, according to a report.

“That period of their life is over — as there is nothing left to say,” a source told The Sun of the exiled couple’s plan to step away from the limelight.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sensationally stepped down as senior members of the royal family in 2021 — a decision that was followed by a permanent move to the US amid their ongoing quest for “privacy.”

Their move sparked several high-publicity projects such as their six-part Netflix documentary, their bombshell sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey, and Harry’s protocol-shattering memoir, “Spare.”
