Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s team is serving up some royal tea for critics of the couple.
Nearly a week after a rep for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said they were involved in a two-hour car chase with paparazzi, their spokesperson is addressing claims that the incident was for publicity.
“Respectfully, considering the duke’s family history, one would have to think nothing of the couple or anybody associated with them to believe this was any sort of P.R. stunt,” their rep told the New York Times, referencing the death of Harry’s mother Princess Diana, who was killed in a 1997 car crash. “Quite frankly, I think that’s abhorrent.”
On May 16, Harry, Meghan and her mom Doria Ragland were in New York City to attend the Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Awards, where the duchess was honored.
According to the pair’s rep, after leaving the event, the trio were involved in a “near catastrophic car chase” with “highly aggressive paparazzi.”
