A lot has happened since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their first-ever public appearances since King Charles’ coronation. Starting from a stalker lurking over their property in the still darkness of the night to hounding paparazzi chasing them down a near-fatal car chase, the duo has encountered a lot. No sooner did the high-profile couple leave their venue in New York City, blacked out vehicles and motorcycles went on in pursuit of chasing the couple for hours on end. 

Although original reports by Reuters steered clear of any misconceptions, there was a wave of controversies and false allegations flooding the internet. The apparent spokesperson for the Sussexes claimed the car chase to be “near catastrophic” which brought in a couple of collisions and Injuries along the way. The same held the New York Police Department at gunpoint to be answerable for the mishap. 

However, clearing off the air of rumors and controversies, the NYPD has finally given its statement on the matter. The Deputy Commissioner Public Information officer issues a statement to the Daily Wire confronting the allegations. According to Julian Phillips, there were no collisions or injuries involved in their transport. Unlike those reported by countless publications, the Duke and Duchess arrived at their destination, all safe and sound. 

“There were no reported collisions, summons, injuries or arrests in regard,” affirmed the officer on national television. Previous reports by Deadline ambiguously claimed that the “relentless pursuit resulted in multiple collisions involving other drivers on the road.” However, that was not exactly the case, as is clarified by the New York Police. 

The incident did not result in any major inconvenience. However, it does make sense why the report has swept social media off its feet. 

The car chase involving Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wreaked havoc all over the internet 

Royals and their experiences with car crashes have not been fortunate. For all we know, Princess Diana’s car crash has emerged as the ultimate cause of dreaded fear. As stated by Prince Harry in one of his interviews way back in 2017, the paparazzi were the ultimate reason behind his mother’s fatal car accident. 

It was the same paparazzi that were chasing the car for Princess Diana’s pictures “as she was dying in the backseat of the car,” claimed the Duke. This came as one of his statements in the 2017 BBC documentary and various other instances as well.
