Terry Prone: Harry and Meghan's dramatic, distressing and mysteriously unnoticed car chase 

Photographers are at least as hungry as they were, back then, and Meghan and Harry are top-of-the-line celebs

The minute the statement popped up, the adrenaline rush took over in global media. Everybody wanted to know more.

What was initially reported was that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had been involved in a “near catastrophic” car chase in New York after she received an award from the MS Foundation. Her mother was in the car with them when paparazzi, in an emotive echo of what killed his mother, chased them for intimate shots. Several blacked out vehicles were involved. Perhaps as many as six. And those vehicles nearly caused crashes, broke red lights and drove on the footpath. For two hours, this car chase continued.
