Prince Harry and Meghan Markle In ‘Near Catastrophic’ Car Chase – Watch

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were involved in a “near catastrophic” car chase with paparazzi in New York City on Tuesday night, according to a spokesperson for the couple.

The alleged incident happened May 16 after Harry and the former Meghan Markle attended the Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Awards at Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City. Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, was also in attendance with them.

The couple was leaving an event in New York City when they were followed by a group of photographers. The photographers reportedly drove dangerously and recklessly, putting the couple’s safety at risk.

“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,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD (New York Police Department) officers.”

The spokesperson said that the couple was “deeply shaken” by the incident and that they were “extremely grateful” that no one was injured.

Two senior law enforcement sources described it as a “bit of a chaotic scene” to NBC New York.

The couple’s spokesperson also said that they were “disappointed” that the paparazzi would put their safety at risk in order to get a photo.

“While being a public figure comes with a level of interest from the public, it should never come at the cost of anyone’s safety,” Harry and Meghan’s spokesman said in the statement. “Dissemination of these images, given the ways in which they were obtained, encourages a highly intrusive practice that is dangerous to all in involved.”

The car chase is also a reminder of the dangers that come with being a member of the royal family. Prince Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, was killed in a car crash in 1997 while being chased by paparazzi.

The couple’s spokesperson said that they are “considering all of their options” in response to the incident. It is unclear whether the couple will take legal action against the paparazzi.
