A near catastrophic car chase by multiple paparazzi teams on Tuesday night in New York involved Britain’s Prince Harry, his wife Meghan and her mother. “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,” Harry’s spokesperson said in a statement. The prince and his wife were unharmed. Media reported the couple had switched to a taxi to try and shake off the photographers.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said he had received a briefing that two NYPD officers could have been injured in the incident. Buckingham Palace had no comment.The Sussex were leaving the Women of Vision Awards at the city’s Ziegfeld Ballroom. Meghan was in New York, with Prince Harry and Ragland, to accept a Women of Vision award from the Ms. Foundation. Prince Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, died in 1997 following a car crash caused by paparazzi chasing the car carrying her and her boyfriend, Dodi Al Fayed, through the streets.
