Harry and Meghan say they fled paparazzi in 'near catastrophic' car chase

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, said Wednesday they were forced into a "near catastrophic car chase" by "a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi" after a charity event in New York on Tuesday. A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said they and Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, were rattled but uninjured in the chase, which allegedly resulted in several near-collisions. Some police sources and a taxi driver who drove the couple for part of the time said the chase was shorter and less dangerous than suggested. Still, the incident prompted comparisons to the 1997 crash that killed Harry's mother, Princess Diana, after paparazzi chased her car in Paris.
