Radio host says he was nearly ‘arrested’ for leaving event hosted by Duchess of Sussex

An Australian comedian and radio host has claimed security threatened to “arrest” him when he tried to leave an event hosted by the Duchess of Sussex when she was still a senior member of the royal family.

Joel Creasey recalled how, a number of years ago, Meghan was late to a morning tea for youth leaders.

“I went along and she was five hours late,” the comedian said.

“I said, ‘Can I leave? I don’t care about her that much,’ and security said, ‘No, you can’t leave. We’ll arrest you.’”
