Prince Harry and Meghan involved in ‘near catastrophic car chase’ with paparazzi in N.Y.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, were involved in a “near catastrophic” car chase with paparazzi in the United States, a spokesperson for the prince said Wednesday.

“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers,” the spokesperson said in a statement to Reuters.

They added that the “near catastrophic car chase” came “at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi.”

The incident came after the couple attended the ‘Women of Vision Awards’ at New York’s Ziegfeld Ballroom on Tuesday. Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, also attended the event.

It was the first public event they had attended since King Charles III’s coronation, which Meghan did not attend.
