Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were involved in a “near catastrophic car chase” with paparazzi in Midtown, New York City on Tuesday night, according to a spokesperson for the couple. The chase, which lasted over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions with other drivers, pedestrians, and two NYPD officers.
The spokesperson said that the couple was accompanied by Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, during the chase. They were pursued by a “ring of highly aggressive paparazzi”. The statement also said that “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.”
This is not the first time that the couple has been chased by paparazzi. In August, they were pursued by photographers while on vacation in France. The incident has brought back memories of the tragic death of Princess Diana in 1997. She and boyfriend Dodi Fayed were killed in a car crash while being chased by paparazzi in Paris.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been vocal about their disdain for paparazzi and the media attention they receive. In October, they filed a lawsuit against a British tabloid for publishing a private letter written by Meghan. They have also spoken out against the “ruthless campaign” against them by the media.
The couple’s spokesperson has not yet commented on the incident in New York City. It is unclear if any action will be taken against the paparazzi involved in the chase.
