Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle were involved in a 'near catastrophic car chase' with paparazzi following their first public appearance since the Duke of Sussex returned to the UK for his father King Charles' Coronation. The incident happened after the couple had attended an awards ceremony in New York on Tuesday alongside Meghan's mother, Prince Harry's spokesperson said.
The "relentless pursuit" lasted over two hours and resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians, and two NYPD (New York Police Department) officers, according to a spokesperson. As reported by MEN, the statement from the spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in full: "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. 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.
