Eric Adams is addressing the recent car chase involving Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and her mom Doria Ragland.
Shortly after the trio attended a gala on May 16, they were involved in a “near catastrophic car chase” with “highly aggressive” paparazzi, according to a rep for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Now, the mayor of New York City has issued a message about the scary mishap.
“Public safety must always be at the forefront,” Adams told reporters May 16. “The briefing I received, two of our officers could have been injured. New York City is different from small towns. You shouldn’t be speeding anywhere but this is a densely populated city.”
Referring to the 1997 car accident involving Harry’s mom, Princess Diana, the politician continued, “I don’t think there’s many of us who don’t recall how his mom died and it would be horrific to lose an innocent bystander during a chase like this and something to have happened to them as well. So, I think we have to be extremely responsible. I thought that was a bit reckless and irresponsible.”
