Prince Harry has railed, through his spokesman, against rumors about his "chase" in the streets of New York. While they were in a car with his wife, Meghan Markle and his mother-in-law, Doria Ragland, the Duke of Sussex had indicated with chased by paparazzi in the streets of the city.

According to the British heir, his life and those of the other passengers had been endangered. The couple also accused the photographers of failing to cause a fatal accident.

An exaggerated story? Indeed, the unfolding of the story was undermined by the taxi driver who was driving them, as well as the NYPD and the mayor of the city. The NYPD confirmed the presence of photographers making "traffic complicated," but denied even having to verbalize anyone. The mayor of the Big Apple, Eric Adams, was surprised that, in its streets, cars can drive at "high speed for two hours", while denouncing the "irresponsible" hunt for paparazzi.

'Obnoxious'

This is not the first time that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have denounced the behavior of the press towards them. If their credibility is in question, the couple has retaliated through their representative.

"Respectfully, given the history of the Duke's family, one would have to know nothing about the couple or his loved ones to believe that this is a publicity stunt. Quite frankly, I find it abhorrent," Ashley Hansen, their spokeswoman, told several media outlets.

In 1997, the Duke of Sussex's mother, Princess Diana, died in a car accident while being followed by photographers in Paris. A tragic death evoked by the British sovereign in his memoirs.
