Prince Harry and Meghan in ‘catastrophic chase’ that resulted in near multiple collisions

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were involved in a “near catastrophic” car crash in New York.

According to a spokesman for the Sussexes, the pair plus Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland were in New York on Tuesday when they were pursued by paparazzi.

They had just attended the Ms Foundation Women of Vision Awards in the city when its claimed the incident occurred.

According to reports, the trio left the awards at around 10pm on Tuesday night (12 noon Wednesday AEST) and were then followed by around 12 paparazzi.

The New York Post has reported that a cameraman hit a car and another almost ran over a police officer.

“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD (New York Police Department) officers,” a spokesman said.

“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.

“Dissemination of these images, given the ways in which they were obtained, encourages a highly intrusive practice that is dangerous to all in involved.”

The spokesman said the couple were “extremely upset and shaken,” according to the New York Post.

He added that the crash was “near catastrophic”.
