Royals Report Dangerous Car Chase By NYC Paparazzi

May 17, 2023 Britain, New York City

The Guardian reports:

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were involved in a “near catastrophic” car chase while being followed by paparazzi in New York on Tuesday, the couple’s spokesperson said.

A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said: “Last night, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Ms Ragland were involved in a near-catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi.”

“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers. 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.”

The New York Post reports:



The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were traveling with Markle’s mom, Doria Ragland, were frighteningly pursued by photographers after leaving the Ziegfeld Theater – where the former actress was honored by Gloria Steinem at the Women of Vision Awards – in Manhattan.

The trio left the event in an SUV at around 10 p.m., and were immediately followed by around 12 paparazzi, we’re told. A source claims that one cameraman hit a car while another almost ran over a NYPD officer during the “near-fatal” chase.

“It started off with 12 paparazzi then ended up with four chasing [Meghan, Harry and Doria],” the insider tells us. “Their security tried their best to lose [photographers].”
