Harry and Meghan’s supposed “near catastrophic” and “over two hour” paparazzi car chase wasn’t exactly the high-drama debacle that their reps made out, according to law enforcement sources, who said the couple was tailed for about an hour and had a police escort.
A high-ranking source reiterated the NYPD’s statement that cops had “no collision reports or 911 calls” related to the chase. Though other sources noted that two uniformed police were “nearly missed” by paparazzi as Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, left the Ziegfeld Theater in Midtown around 9:50 p.m.
“We only had one car as part of this. [The chase] definitely wasn’t two hours,” the high-ranking source told The Post on Wednesday.
