Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were subjected to a terrifying car chase by paparazzi after attending an event in New York City. While no one was harmed, the couple described the ordeal as a “near-catastrophic” experience. The Duke of Sussex even compared it to the infamous car chase that took his mother, Princess Diana’s, life in 1997.
The couple’s account of the incident was initially met with skepticism and ridicule. However, the New York Police Department has now confirmed the dangerous and reckless behavior of the pursuing paparazzi. In fact, there is enough evidence to potentially charge two of the photographers involved in the chase.
Despite the confirmation from the authorities, there are still differing accounts of what exactly transpired that night. Some witnesses have come forward to support Prince Harry and Meghan’s version of events, stating that the paparazzi were aggressive and disturbingly reminiscent of past incidents involving Princess Diana. On the other hand, others have pointed fingers at the couple’s security team and their driver for exacerbating the situation.
It is important to note that no collisions, injuries, or arrests occurred as a result of the car chase. However, the incident has once again highlighted the ongoing issues surrounding media intrusion and the safety of public figures.
While this incident may have ended without tragedy, it serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by the royal family and the need for stricter measures to protect their privacy. As Prince Harry and Meghan continue to navigate their lives outside of the royal spotlight, incidents like these only highlight the ongoing challenges they face.
