The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are trying desperately to control the narrative of their most recent splash in the limelight.
It's not going well.
First off, here is a recap of what happened. The couple was leaving an awards ceremony in New York City. One where Markle was honored at the Women of Vision gala, noted for her advocacy on behalf of women and girls.
Prince Harry attended, as well as did Markle's mother, Doria Ragland. The group left in a convoy of vehicles with an entourage that included security personnel but was then hounded, at the very least, by trailing freelance paparazzi angling for a photograph or video.
News of the episode quickly turned into a debate about whether the incident was a "near catastrophic car chase" - potentially injurious to life and limb as the royal couple claims - or if it was merely "challenging," as the NYPD has described it.
Here's part of the Sussexs' take per a statement issued later: "This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians, and two NYPD officers," the spokesperson said.
Somehow, the idea of a high-speed chase took hold, although that assertion was not in the statement. Of course, anyone with any experience in New York City traffic knows that no one travels fast in Manhattan. Gridlock is more like it.
Mayor Eric Adams said as much as did the police.
