New York police say no injuries or arrests in pursuit of Harry and Meghan Markle

The police department of New York, United States, confirmed the pursuit of photographers to the couple Harry and Meghan Markle on Tuesday night (16). They had just attended the Ms. Foundation, where the Duchess of Sussex was honored, when they got involved in a mess with the paparazzi.

In an interview with Reuters news agency, American police reported that there were no collisions, injuries or arrests in the incident and that they even helped escort Harry and Meghan’s private security team. The couple would also have arrived with ease at their destination, which was not revealed by the police.

The New York police version belies the explanation given by the couple’s spokesman about the confusion hours earlier. He claimed that Harry and Meghan were chased by several paparazzi cars and that the harassment ended with “multiple collisions”, in addition to pedestrians and police officers being injured along the way.

“This relentless pursuit, which lasted two hours, resulted in further collisions involving more drivers, pedestrians and two NYPD officers,” the spokesman said. The prince has a complicated relationship with the media. He blames her for the death of his mother, Princess Diana, after being in a car accident while fleeing the paparazzi in Paris in 1997.

Harry and the woman were accompanied in the car of the mother of the former actress in “Suits”, Doria Ragland. This was Meghan’s first public appearance since the coronation of her father-in-law, King Charles III, in London on May 6. She was not the ceremony and the youngest son of the monarch with Princess Diana was less than 28 hours in the United Kingdom. He didn’t even appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with the royal family to wave to his subjects.
