Prince Harry, his wife, Meghan Markle, and her mother, Doria Ragland, were involved in a dangerous incident in New York City after they were involved in a car chase with paparazzi.
“Last night, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Ms. Ragland were involved in a near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi,” a spokesperson for Harry, 38, wrote in a statement on Wednesday, May 17. “This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers.”
The car chase did not result in an accident or crash.
“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,” the spokesperson added. “Dissemination of these images, given the ways in which they were obtained, encourages a highly intrusive practice that is dangerous to all involved.”
Harry and Meghan’s automobile trouble comes more than two decades after his late mother, Princess Diana, was killed in a fatal car accident in August 1997 after being chased by photographers, who rode motorcycles and other vehicles. Diana, her partner at the time Dodi Fayed and her driver, Henri Paul, were all killed after the car struck a pillar in the Post de l’alma tunnel in Paris.
The Spare author recently sat down with journalist Anderson Cooper, and he opened up about his mother’s tragic death in their interview. Harry was just 12 years old when Diana passed away.
