Prince Harry, Meghan and her mother were involved in a "near catastrophic car chase" involving paparazzi, a spokesperson for the prince has said.

The incident happened after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended an awards ceremony in New York on Tuesday.

In a statement, the prince's spokesperson said the "relentless pursuit" lasted for over two hours.

They added it resulted in near collisions with other drivers on the road, pedestrians and police officers.

"While being a public figure comes with a level of interest from the public, it should never come at the cost of anyone's safety," the spokesperson said.

"Dissemination of these images, given the ways in which they were obtained, encourages a highly intrusive practice that is dangerous to all in involved."

The New York Police Department (NYPD) did not immediately confirm knowledge of the incident.

The incident is said to have happened after the couple's first public appearance together since the King's Coronation earlier this month.

Accompanied by Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, they attended the Ms Foundation Women of Vision's 50th anniversary gala event.

Canada and USA mags
need new photos

[bitontheslide]

and by the sounds of it there were several hit and runs in the event, so will they get done for leaving the scene of an accident?

[MTVN]

This story is such bread and butter for either side of Harry and Megan lol

For their supporters it shows what they have to put up with on a daily basis and that a lot of their concerns are very legitimate

For people who don't like them this comes across as a pretty hysterical account full of exaggeration given the police seem to have no idea about it

This would not happen in the UK because the Royals have deals with the paps

[arista]

Not on USA TV News - at all.

[Liam-]

Paparazzi trying to kill off yet another royal they claim to not like but sponge off of at every opportunity, must have been terrifying to go through

[LeatherTrumpet]

I smell BS

[AnnieK]

Another ex Royal who has done enough to piss off "The Firm" and so needs to be silenced

Only joking - all seems a little far fetched to me

[bitontheslide]

i don't think anyone is interested enough in the couple to bother chasing them for 2 hours
