Prince Harry ‘suspicious of a cover-up and pressured NYPD to make arrests for car chase’

Some have voiced scepticism of claims of a high-speed car chase involving paparazzi and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, with New York Mayor Eric Adams previously suggesting it was “hard to believe”

Prince Harry suspected there was a “cover-up” in the “high speed” chase in which paparazzi tailed the duke through New York City.

The Duke of Sussex reportedly made the suggestion in emails and letters about the May 2023 incident, and allegedly demanded the New York Police Department (NYPD) make arrests the day after the incident and threatened to make an official complaint.

“The Duke feels intentionally misled and is suspicious of a cover-up” one complaint from his security company TorchStone to the NYPD said, according to MailOnline. Harry and Meghan Markle said in a statement last year that they had been involved in a “near catastrophic car chase” that involved “a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi” who followed them through Manhattan.

Harry made his demand after the NYPD’s chief intelligence officer John Hart sent police in London two letters, one that said there was not enough evidence to make arrests and another three months later that said there was. Despite this, no arrests have been made in connection with the incident.

Hart’s first letter was sent across the Atlantic in September last year with the second arriving in December that year. TorchStone then sent an email outlining the duke was upset at what he perceived as being the slow pace of the NYPD’s investigation and claimed to have felt “intentionally misled.”

Harry later petitioned California Governor Gavin Newsom for a contact with prosecutors based in New York with a view to escalate the matter. One of the TorchStone security team previously told CNN that it was “chaotic” and even could be fatal.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were tailed by paparazzi after attending an awards ceremony with Meghan’s mum, Doria Ragland. The three are said to have been subjected to a “relentless pursuit” involving half a dozen blacked-out vehicles, described as “a near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi”
