A spokesperson for Prince Harry and his wife Meghan says the couple were involved in a “near catastrophic” car chase while being followed by photographers.
The couple’s office says the pair and Meghan’s mother were followed for more than two hours by half a dozen vehicles after leaving a charity event in New York on Tuesday.
It said in a statement Wednesday that the chase “resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers.” It called the incident “near catastrophic.”
Harry’s mother Princess Diana was killed in a car accident as she sought to evade paparazzi in Paris.
