Prince Harry Criticizes NYPD Over Lack of Arrests in Paparazzi Car Chase Case

The Duke of Sussex accuses the NYPD of a 'cover-up' and demands action following a 2023 incident he describes as a 'near-fatal' pursuit by paparazzi.

  • Prince Harry has expressed frustration with the NYPD for failing to make arrests in the May 2023 paparazzi car chase involving him, Meghan Markle, and her mother, Doria Ragland.
  • The Duke of Sussex has accused the NYPD of intentionally misleading him about the severity of the incident and suspects a possible 'cover-up.'
  • The NYPD initially claimed there was insufficient evidence to charge anyone but later stated there was enough evidence to arrest two individuals for reckless endangerment, though no action has been taken.
  • Harry has reached out to the Manhattan District Attorney's office and California Governor Gavin Newsom in an effort to escalate the matter and push for accountability.
  • The incident, which Harry's team described as a 'relentless pursuit,' has drawn comparisons to the paparazzi chase that led to Princess Diana’s death, fueling Harry's ongoing security concerns.
