In a startling revelation that has sent shockwaves through royal circles, Prince Harry has detailed the harrowing car chase that put Meghan Markle and her mother Doria Ragland in grave danger during their time in New York City.
The Duke of Sussex described the incident as "near catastrophic," drawing chilling parallels to the relentless paparazzi pursuit that ultimately led to his mother Princess Diana's tragic death in 1997.
The Night of Terror
Harry recounted how Meghan and Doria were subjected to an aggressive two-hour pursuit by photographers after attending a public event. The dangerous cat-and-mouse game through Manhattan's streets involved multiple vehicles and raised serious safety concerns for the Duchess and her mother.
"It was like being in a scene from a movie," a source close to the couple revealed. "The paparazzi were driving recklessly, cutting them off, and creating an extremely dangerous situation."
Echoes of Diana's Tragedy
The incident has understandably triggered painful memories for Harry, who has long feared history repeating itself. His mother, Princess Diana, died following a high-speed chase with paparazzi in Paris, an event that has haunted Harry throughout his life.
This latest episode has intensified the ongoing debate about security arrangements for the Sussexes since they stepped back from royal duties and moved to the United States.
Security Concerns Amplified
The New York chase has brought renewed attention to the security challenges facing Harry and Meghan. Despite no longer being working royals, they continue to attract intense media scrutiny and public attention wherever they go.
Security experts have expressed concern about the couple's vulnerability, particularly during public appearances where their movements can be easily predicted by determined photographers.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions between the royal family and the media, and the very real dangers that come with being in the public eye.
