Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “Near Catastrophic Car Chase” Narrative

Reports of a “near catastrophic car chase” involving Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and her mother Doria Ragland have been making headlines. However, the New York City cab driver who drove the trio at one point during the evening has spoken out, saying he felt safe the entire ride and would not call it a chase.

The NYPD’s Response

The New York Police Department Deputy Commissioner Public Information Officer Julian Phillips released a statement saying that the NYPD assisted the private security team protecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and that there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests.

New York Mayor Eric Adams’ Reaction

New York Mayor Eric Adams called the paparazzi’s actions “reckless and irresponsible” and expressed doubt about the reported “high-speed chase” for two hours in NYC.

Celebrity Reactions

Celebrities like Megyn Kelly, Caitlyn Jenner, and Fox News’ Dagen McDowell have reacted to the news, with some casting doubt on the royal’s description of the car chase.

The Sussex’s Statement

A spokesperson for the prince released a statement saying that the car chase involved a “ring of highly aggressive paparazzi” and resulted in multiple near collisions. The statement emphasized that being a public figure should never come at the cost of anyone’s safety.

While the details of the incident are still unclear, one thing is certain: the safety of public figures should always be a top priority.
