Prince Harry and Meghan Markle claim that paparazzi chased them for two hours through Manhattan. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were returning from an awards ceremony at Ziegfeld Ballroom in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the couple said. The couple, along with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, were trying to get back to their residence in Upper East Side, without the paparazzi knowing their location.
Their « near catastrophic car chase » claims raised several alarms as people compared the situation to Princess Diana’s tragic paparazzi chase which led to her sad demise. « This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians, and two [police] officers, » a spokesperson for the royal couple said, as reported by Independent.
As per New York Post, the NYPD said that the incident was being investigated, although the police also downplayed the royal couple’s high-drama allegations, depicting a moderately agitated yet all-around contained scene.
