Prince Harry and Meghan involved in “near catastrophic” paparazzi car chase in NYC

(CNN) — Prince Harry and his wife Meghan were involved in a “nearly catastrophic car chase” involving paparazzi in New York on Tuesday night, his spokesman says.

This is the full statement from a spokesperson for Prince Harry and Meghan: “Last night, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Ms. Ragland were involved in a near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a very aggressive group of paparazzi.

This relentless chase, which lasted for more than two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians, and two members of the NYPD.

While being a public figure comes with a level of public interest, it should never come at the cost of anyone’s safety.

The dissemination of these images, given the way in which they were obtained, encourages a highly intrusive practice that is dangerous for all involved.”
