According to a
statement from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's representative, an intense
pursuit by paparazzi occurred following the couple's attendance at an awards
ceremony in New York, along with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland.
This relentless
pursuit lasted for approximately two hours and led to numerous close calls,
including near collisions involving other motorists, pedestrians, and even two
NYPD officers.
Yesterday
evening, there was a harrowing incident involving the Duke and Duchess of
Sussex along with Ms. Ragland, where they were subjected to a dangerous car
chase orchestrated by an aggressive group of paparazzi.
This relentless
pursuit persisted for more than two hours and led to numerous perilous
encounters with other vehicles, pedestrians, and even two officers from the
NYPD (New York Police Department), narrowly avoiding collisions. According to a
spokesperson, the situation was highly alarming and could have resulted in a
catastrophic outcome.
A security team
member named Chris Sanchez let CNN know that he had never encountered such
intense disorder and confusion before.
"The
situation we encountered was extremely disorderly. Approximately twelve
vehicles, including cars, scooters, and bicycles, were involved. The safety of
the public was compromised multiple times, posing a potentially fatal risk. The
drivers were recklessly disregarding traffic regulations, such as jumping curbs
and running red lights," Sanchez said.
The New York
Police Department released an official statement stating that they assisted the
Duke and Duchess of Sussex's private security team on the evening of May 16.
"The
transportation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex posed difficulties for many
photographers. However, upon reaching their destination, no collisions,
summonses, injuries, or arrests were reported," stated the spokesperson.
