According to a taxi driver their "near catastrophic" car chase was apparently devoid of any real danger. The couple enjoyed a 10-minute ride in New York while being followed by photographers.
Sounds pretty standard to me...
From The Daily Caller:
Clearly, these two are just desperate for attention.
“I don’t think I would call it a chase,” Singh said in a statement to The Post. “I never felt like I was in danger. It wasn’t like a car chase in a movie. They were quiet and seemed scared but it’s New York — it’s safe.”
Singh claimed he was flagged down by their security guard at 11 p.m. outside the New York City Police Department’s 19th precinct on East 67th Street. The guard reportedly asked, “Do you want a fare?” and Harry, Markle, and Markle’s mother piled in, according to The Post.
Singh claimed he drove his passengers for a block and a half to Park Avenue, then headed south. He said they were followed by a black Honda Accord as well as an older, gray Honda CR-V, but claimed he never felt endangered at all, according to The Post.
“They kept following us and were coming next to the car,” Singh said. “They took pictures as we stopped and were filming us.”
Singh said he turned and headed north up Madison Avenue, and drove them back to the pickup point.
Initial claims made by Markle and Harry’s spokesperson told a very different story.
“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers,” the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson described the situation as a “near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi,” according to The Post.
It's borderline inappropriate that Harry and Meghan would choose to fabricate a high-speed car chase with paparazzi, considering that such a scenario was believed to have caused the crash involving Princess Diana.
