Photo Agency Responds to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “Near Catastrophic Car Chase” Narrative

A photo agency has issued a statement in response to allegations that Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and her mother Doria Ragland were “aggressively” pursued by paparazzi while in New York City on Tuesday night. Backgrid USA, in a statement to Entertainment Tonight, emphasized its commitment to transparency and ethics in journalism, stating that it had received photos and videos of the events from four freelance photographers, who had no intention of causing any distress or harm.

Professional Responsibility to Cover Newsworthy Events

The agency clarified that the photographers had a professional responsibility to cover newsworthy events and personalities, including public figures such as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The photographers claimed that one of the four SUVs from Prince Harry’s security escort was driving in a manner that could be perceived as reckless, and that the vehicle was seen blocking off streets. However, the agency denied that there were any near-collisions or near-crashes during the incident, and that the photographers felt that the couple was not in immediate danger at any point.

The statement from Backgrid ended with a promise to look into the matter, adding that it will be conducting a thorough investigation and taking Prince Harry’s allegations seriously.
