Royal Couple's Car Chase in NYC Sparks Shocking Response

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly taken aback by the reaction to their harrowing car chase incident, according to an exclusive source in the latest issue of We. The insider emphasizes that the couple stands by their account of the event and finds it hurtful and inappropriate for anyone to suggest otherwise.

Harry and Meghan remain undeterred by the criticism they have received regarding their account of events. According to a source, the couple refuses to hide away and is determined to continue speaking up when they believe they have been wronged. However, their recent experience in New York City, where they were followed by an aggressive group of paparazzi, has highlighted the dangers of speaking out and standing up for oneself in the public eye. The couple's spokesperson has reported multiple near collisions caused by the paparazzi's pursuit, demonstrating the severity of the situation.

The representative referred to the incident as "near catastrophic" and emphasized that being a public figure should not come at the expense of anyone's safety. The dissemination of these images, obtained through invasive means, promotes a dangerous practice that puts everyone involved at risk.

According to Chris Sanchez, a member of the security detail accompanying Harry and Meghan, the situation could have been life-threatening. However, the NYPD released a statement stating that the couple had reached their destination without incident. The department clarified that there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests.

Whoopi Goldberg weighed in on the situation shortly after it gained widespread attention, asserting on an episode of The View that the Archewell cofounders’ account of events was hard to believe given the notoriously busy traffic in Manhattan. She pointed out that references to high-speed chases and car chases are more common in Los Angeles and suggested that the couple may have been dealing with paparazzi but not in the way portrayed in the media.

Sunny Hostin urged her co-panelists to reflect on the unique perspective of Prince Harry, who tragically lost his mother, Princess Diana, in a fatal car accident in Paris over two decades ago. While acknowledging their own fears, Hostin emphasized the profound impact of such a loss on Harry's life.

The ex-military pilot has been open about his struggles with the loss of Diana over the years. Harry was only 12 when she tragically passed away due to the relentless pursuit of the paparazzi. The Spare author admitted during a 60 Minutes interview in January that he initially couldn't accept that she was gone, partly because he believed she would never leave them willingly. He also revealed that at times, he believed in the possibility of her still being alive and even imagined receiving phone calls from her, beckoning them to join her.

Harry had held onto hope for many years, hoping that Diana would emerge from hiding, but eventually came to accept her death. Recently, he and his wife were left frightened after an encounter with photographers. Buckingham Palace has not yet commented on the incident.
