Prince Harry and Meghan Markle involved in 'near catastrophic' two-hour car chase

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly involved in a 'near catastrophic' car chase with the paparazzi, a spokesperson has said.

The incident occurred in New York on Tuesday, May 16, with the pair also joined by Meghan's mother at an awards ceremony. In a statement to Reuters, the prince's spokesperson said the "relentless pursuit" lasted for over two hours.

The incident apparently resulted in multiple near-misses with fellow motorists, pedestrians and police 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," the spokesperson said.
