The NYPD issued an update following the alleged car chase. According to Sky News, a spokesperson for the NYPD said:

“There were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests in regard.”

Following the incident, Meghan and Harry’s spokesperson said their safety should never be at risk.

“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians, and two NYPD officers.”

The couple’s press secretary Ashley Hansen told Sky News,  “I have never experienced their vulnerability as much as I did last night.”
