Today's cover: Inside the drama of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s NYC paparazzi chase ordeal
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle raised alarms Wednesday about a “near catastrophic,” more than two-hour paparazzi chase through Manhattan — drawing comparisons to Princess Diana’s fatal 1997 crash — even as cops said the supposed ordeal wasn’t nearly as dramatic as the couple claimed.
“The NYPD assisted the private security team protecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex,” a spokesperson said in a statement Wednesday. “There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests in regard.”
Later, when Harry, Meghan, and Doria were getting back into their car, the witness said the photographers “were aggressive but not crazy.” , cab driver Sukcharn “Sonny” Singh said he was hired to take the royals away from the precinct, but the trip only lasted 10 minutes as they asked to be taken back to the station.
“Too many street lights/stop signs, too much foot/car traffic & hundreds of places you could safely pull over to protect yourself,” Kelly tweeted. “Also if they really want to avoid the paparazzi perhaps the Duchess should stop using them so obviously when she wants to see herself in the paper.”
