Ashley Masar
has the details.
Prince Harry's spokesperson is saying that the prince and his wife,
Megan Markle were involved in a
near catastrophic car chase after being followed by the paparazzi Tuesday night.
It started outside of the zig field theater after the Duke
and Duchess of Sussex were leaving the Women of Vision Awards.
According to Harry's team,
about six vehicles surrounded the couple's car and swarmed them.
The spokesperson went on to say this relentless pursuit lasting over two
hours resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road,
pedestrians and NYPD officers.
The mayor of New York City, Eric Adams said the incident was reckless,
irresponsible and says that New York City police officers could have been injured.
It would be horrific to lose an innocent bystander during a chase like this
and some
to have happened to them as well. So I think we have to be extremely responsible.
I
thought that was a bit reckless and irresponsible.
Mark's mother was also in the car with a couple at the time of the chase.
Harry has said candidly in his Netflix series that it's
been difficult to watch his wife go through the same quote
paparazzi feeding frenzy that his mother did when she was alive. Ashley Masar
