The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s last public appearance in New York has left them with bitterness. After attending the Women of Vision Awards on Tuesday night, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Doria Ragland were involved in a “frightening car chase at the hands of a group of very aggressive paparazzi.” This has been confirmed by the couple’s spokesperson, adding that they were tortured for more than two hours in which their safety and that of others was at risk.

Meghan and Harry decided to go to the police station to take refuge and from there they plan to block the road and implement an evacuation plan to reach their destination safely. The family was staying at a friend’s house and did not want to risk their safety.
