Prince Harry and Meghan and her mother were involved in a "near catastrophic car chase" involving paparazzi photographers, a spokesperson for the prince has said.
The incident lasted over two hours and resulted in multiple near collisions, the spokesperson said.
“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,” they added.
“While being a public figure comes with a level of interest from the public, it should never come at the cost of anyone's safety.
“Dissemination of these images, given the ways in which they were obtained, encourages a highly intrusive practice that is dangerous to all in involved.”
It followed Meghan’s attendance at Tuesday night’s Ms Foundation for Women’s 50th anniversary gala event in Manhattan with her husband, Prince Harry, and mother Doria Ragland.

Since when does “someone is taking pictures of me, and I don’t like it” void the requirement of obeying traffic laws, as I assume was done if it were a “harrowing” chase.
But then, how “harrowing” could it have been if it didn’t get the attention of a single cop in two hours?
Sounds very fishy to me...but I don’t believe anything these two say.
“They want tha privacy”
Well said.
Are there more yellow cabs than black SUVs in NYC?
Probably to catch up to the paparazzi who were tracking popular celebrities for photos.
Probably want US taxpayers to fund a motorcade and 24/7 security
Staged maybe?
We Want Our Privacy! Tour
These over indulged idiots need to go back across the pond and stay there.
“near catastrophic car chase”
Which of Harry’s fingernails was damaged?
Sound familiar

Idk but if I didn’t want to be seen I’d have the tinted windows 😄
Paparazzi only follow them around because magazines will pay them money for pics.
If they want to shut down paparazzi interest, all they have to do is have a friend with a camera follow them around, take lots of pics, and put them up for free download.
Two reasons:
1) the court case in UK needs more external pressure to give the win to Harry and mother’s death is his ace in the hole;
2) Meghan stayed down for the coronation but was probably seething. Doubt the timing of an event they were looking for for her comeback wasn’t accidental. And the timing was great. And a car chase! If only NYC had the same overhead surveillance system for chases that LA does. Wonder if there was enough time for them to set up something with the hope that the video goes viral. OJ Simpson long forgotten. Hail the new heroine in Diana danger.
She wasn’t tarred with the fallout from Spare by staying down, and her estrangement from the royal family wasn’t a hit over the head when it was her choice to not go and not theirs. So now she’s ready to keep Harry at her side to remind people of the title, but take the lead in their relationship. I think she’ll keep the puppy as long as he’s useful, but she’s going to expand their friendship circle to a LOT of really rich people so her future safety net is prepared.
Buckingham Palace has no comment.
Simple solution, he can go back to England and leave the US.
