From royal to speeder? According to a spokesperson for Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, the celebrity couple was involved in a delicate chase with paparazzi in New York.
Update from Wednesday, May 17, 2023, 18:02 p.m.: As the British Telegraph reports, Harry and Meghan wanted to go to a friend's house together after the award ceremony, which they had attended in New York. There they were quartered, together with bodyguards from their private security team. But then the chase through New York should begin.
Without explicitly naming sources, the Telegraph reports on a police station where they had found refuge. Subsequently, Harry and Meghan did not get into their original car, but into a taxi. A maneuver to confuse the lurking photographers. But if the diversionary maneuver fails – and the paparazzi catch her again.
First report from Wednesday, May 17, 2023, 17:31 p.m.: New York – Is Prince Harry prone to a lead foot? An assumption that could be suggested by a statement by the press secretary of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. Because, as it is said, the two are said to have been pursued by paparazzi in New York. In order to shake them off, a two-hour chase would have developed, according to the spokesman.
According to the press spokesman: Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are said to have been involved in a chase
"Last night, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Miss Ragland were involved in a near-catastrophic chase by a series of highly aggressive paparazzi," reads the statement, which can also be found on Twitter.
The pursuit, in which Harry and Meghan are said to have been involved, would have led to "several near misses with other motorists, pedestrians and two NYPD officers," it added.
Together with Doria Ragland, Meghan's mother, the celebrity couple would have attended an award ceremony at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in Manhattan. The trio would have entered this via the back entrance through a car rental company – and left again in this way. Possibly to avoid the paparazzi in front of the main entrance. (han)
