The recent paparazzi incident involving Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, in New York has sparked discussions about their complex relationship with the media. While initial statements described a "near catastrophic car chase," additional details revealed a more nuanced situation with numerous photographers making transportation challenging. The incident has once again highlighted Harry's deep-seated distrust of the press, rooted in his mother Diana's tragic fate. However, some argue that Harry's vendetta against the media may hinder his understanding of the industry's nuances, potentially creating a counterproductive cycle. As the couple seeks to influence the world, they face the paradox of needing the media's help while wanting to control coverage.
