AWARDED FROM THE MS.
ORGANIZATION IN BROOKLYN.
THE SPOKESPERSON CALLS IT A
RELENTLESS PURSUIT THAT LASTED
MORE THAN TWO HOURS AND THEY SAY

SO LAURA ENGEL HAS BEEN
GATHERING WHAT SHE CAN ON THIS
STORY FOR US SO FAR.
LET’S GET TO HER.
>> GOOD MORNING.
WE’RE TRYING TO GET INFORMATION
ON THIS.
THE NEWS BREAKING IN THE LAST
HOUR.
WE DO UNDERSTAND, ACCORDING TO
SOME REPORTS, THAT THE NYPD IS
AWARE OF THIS AND MAY HAVE BEEN
INVOLVED IN THIS WATCHING IT.
BUT WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED COMMENT
FROM THE NYPD.
AS YOU MENTIONED, WE’RE GETTING
WORD FROM A SPOKESPERSON THAT
PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE
ISSUED A STATEMENT SAYING THE
COUPLE OF HER MOTHER WERE
INVOLVED IN A TERRIFYING
PAPARAZZI CAR CHASE HERE IN NEW
YORK.
ACCORDING TO THESE REPORTS THE
INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER HARRY
AND MEGHAN ATTENDED AN AWARDS
CEREMONY IN NEW YORK.
THE CHASE DESCRIBED AS NEAR
CATASTROPHIC.
CAR CHASE INVOLVING PAPARAZZI
PHOTOGRAPHERS, THE INCIDENT
LASTED OVER TWO HOURS AND THERE
WERE MULTIPLE NEAR COLLISIONS.
HERE IN NEW YORK CITY AGAIN
WAITING FOR THE NYPD TO TELL US
SOMETHING ON THIS. THIS BRINGS UP THE COMPARESON TO
THIS BRINGS UP THE COMPARESON TO
HOW HARRY’S MOTHER DIED IN
PARIS.
AT SOME POINT THE SOUVENIR
PULLED OVER AND THE THREE JUMPED
INTO THE NEW YORK CITY TAXI CAB.
WE HAVE HEARD REPORTS THEY
STAYED AT A PRIVATE RESIDENCE.
WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE STORY
TO BRING YOU MORE DETAILS ABOUT
EXACTLY WHAT WENT DOWN IN NEW
YORK CITY LAST NIGHT THAT CAUSED
THIS INCIDENT AND, OF COURSE,
VERY WORRIED STATEMENT FROM THE
COUPLE’S SPOKESPERSON.
WE’LL BRING YOU MORE AS WE GET
IT.
>> Dana: THANK YOU.
>> Bill: THANK YOU.
>> Dana: ANYTHING ELSE OVER
THERE?
>> Bill: TMZ WEBSITE HAVE A
COUPLE OF PICTURES.
WE REPORTED THEY GOT OUT OF THE
CAR AND INTO A TAXI.
APPARENTLY THERE IS A PICTURE OF
THAT.
SO I DON’T KNOW WHAT PART OF
TOWN IT WAS.
YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE MEGHAN
MARKLE SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT
OF THE TAXI AND ONE AFTER THAT
SO THE THREE OF THEM.
THERE IS MEGHAN MARKLE’S MOM,
MEGHAN AND PRINCE HARRY IS
SITTING ACROSS IN AN OVERSIZED
S.U.V. IN THE MIDDLE SEAT
HOLDING UP HIS I-PHONE TO TAKE A
VIDEO OF THE PHOTOGRAPHERS
OUTSIDE THE WINDOW THERE.
HOW IS THAT FOR DEEP
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING?
>> Dana: IT WOULD BE VERY
DISTURBING FOR THEM.
NOBODY WANTS TO BE IN A
SITUATION LIKE THAT.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, HE HAS
ALWAYS MAINTAINED THAT HIS
MOTHER WAS WRONGFULLY KILLED IN
THAT CAR CHASE.
>> Bill: AND IF YOU SAW THE
SERIES ON NETFLIX, MILLIONS DID
WATCH IT.
THERE IS A SCENE IN NEW YORK
CITY WHERE THEY CAME INTO TOWN
FOR SOMETHING, A PHOTO SHOOT
WHERE SHE WAS ON THE PHONE AND
SHE WAS TALKING TO SOME OTHERS
ABOUT I SAW THIS PHOTOGRAPHER
HERE.
SHE CALLS THEM PAP, SHORT FOR
PAPARAZZI.
I SAW THEM OVER HERE AND AROUND
THE CORNER AND DRIVE THE WEST
SIDE HIGHWAY.
IT WAS FRONT OF MIND FOR MEGHAN
MARKLE WHEN SHE WAS IN NEW YORK
AT THAT TIME.
>> Dana: THE OTHER THING IS TO
BE CURIOUS ABOUT IF THERE IS
MORE VIDEO AND WHO KNOWS IF HE
WAS TAKING A PICTURE THERE AS
YOU SEE IN THE TMZ PHOTO HOLDING
UP THE PHONE.
WILL THEY RELEASE ANY VIDEO OR
DID ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY VIDEO
TO GET A CLEARER PICTURE OF WHAT
HAPPENED?
>> Bill: WHAT’S INTERESTING.
IN NEW YORK CITY WHEN SOMETHING
LIKE THIS HAPPENS IT HITS SOCIAL
MEDIA IN A MINUTE.
SO FAR THERE HAS BEEN NO
EVIDENCE OF IT.
WHETHER OR NOT THAT TURNS OUT TO
BE THE CASE IN THE END WE CAN’T
SPAY.
>> Dana: DESCRIBED AS
CATASTROPHIC WITH SEVERAL NEAR
COLLISIONS.
WOULD ALSO WONDER WHAT TIME OF
DAY THIS WAS.
SOMETIMES TRAFFIC IN THE CITY
DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN’T BE CHASED
