Despite the upsetting incident on Tuesday night, neither King Charles III nor Queen Camilla reached out to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Additionally, sources indicate that Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton refrained from commenting on the matter.
The paparazzi chased both Harry, Meghan, and Doria Ragland as they were returning home from the NYC Gala. The Sussexes were deeply upset and shaken by the relentless pursuit and are still in shock over the events that unfolded.
A spokesperson for the couple conveyed the following information: "Last night, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, along with Ms. Ragland, found themselves in a near-catastrophic car chase instigated by an aggressive ring of paparazzi.
This relentless pursuit lasted for over two hours and resulted in several close calls involving other drivers, pedestrians, and even two NYPD officers. While being in the public eye attracts a certain level of attention, it should never come at the expense of anyone's safety."
Everyone involved in the incident remains profoundly disturbed by the experience. The spokesperson added, "To say that the occurrence was horrific would be an understatement."
