Prince Harry, Meghan involved in ‘near catastrophic’ car chase in New York

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan were involved in a “near catastrophic car chase” involving “highly aggressive” paparazzi for over two hours in New York, a spokesperson for the couple said on Wednesday.

The incident happened after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended an awards ceremony in New York on Tuesday. The couple were in the city for the Women of Vision Awards and were accompanied by Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland.

Harry’s mother Princess Diana and her close friend Dodi Fayed were killed in a horrific car crash in Paris in August 1997 while being chased by paparazzi.

In a statement, the New York Police Department (NYPD) confirmed an incident took place and said that numerous photographers “made their (Harry and Meghan’s) transport challenging.” “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests,” it added.

The couple’s spokesperson said last night, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Ms Ragland were involved in a near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi.” “This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers,” the CNN reported.
