Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and her mother were followed by photographers for over two hours after leaving a charity event in New York on Tuesday. The couple’s office says that the chase resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians, and two NYPD officers. It was called a “near catastrophic car chase.”
The spokesperson for the Prince said that half a dozen vehicles were following the couple and Meghan’s mother. This incident highlights the dangers of paparazzi chasing celebrities on the road.
It is important to note that this is not the first time Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced harassment by the media. The couple has been vocal about their struggles with privacy and the media’s intrusion into their personal lives. This incident only adds to their concerns.
The media should respect the privacy of public figures, especially when it comes to their safety on the road. Such incidents can be dangerous not just for the celebrities but also for other people on the road. It is important for the paparazzi to understand that they should not put lives at risk for the sake of a photograph.
