Prince Harry, his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and her mother, Doria Ragland, were involved in a car chase while being followed by paparazzi on Tuesday night in New York City, a spokesperson for the couple said.
The spokesperson did not specify who was driving or where the chase happened, but Meghan had been at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in Midtown Manhattan to attend the
Women of Vision awards, where she was one of the honorees.
A spokesman for the New York Police Department said that officers had assisted the couple’s security team Tuesday evening. “There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging,” the spokesman, Julian Phillips, said in a statement. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests in regard.”
The department did not yet have a report on the incident available.
The spokesperson for the couple described the incident as a “near catastrophic car chase” that had lasted two hours.
