The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were in a “near catastrophic” incident when the paparazzi chased the car they were travelling in on Tuesday night, their people say. The couple was with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland when they left an awards ceremony in NYC in a limousine. They were then involved in a “relentless pursuit” that lasted nearly 2 hours, resulting in “multiple near collisions”. One of the couple’s security officers Chris Sanchez said “about a dozen vehicles – cars, scooters and bicycles” were involved. In a statement, police confirmed they had “no reported collisions, summonses, injuries or arrests”. Harry has spoken about his frustration that neither his family nor the UK Government would provide the Sussexes with the resources for security. And in his chat with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, he talked about Diana’s death following a paparazzi chase in Paris and his fears about “history repeating itself” in the case of his wife, Meghan.
