In May 2023, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle claimed to be in a terrifying car chase as they rode in a New York City yellow cab.
The "near catastrophic car chase", as it was described by the pair, was allegedly a "relentless pursuit" by the paparazzi that went on for over two hours by about six blacked-out vehicles. As a result, their driver had multiple near collisions with pedestrians and other vehicles. The identities of the individuals involved are still unknown at this time and the couple are left frazzled and scared.
This sort of incident feels all too familiar for the public and, especially, Prince Harry. After all, his own mother died in quite a similar way.

A verdict of unlawful killing was eventually reached by a jury about nine years after Diana's death. They implicated both the paparazzi vehicles and the driver himself who allegedly was under the influence of alcohol and prescription drugs.

Both Diana and Harry had separated from the Royal Family prior to their respective car pursuits. Diana officially settled her divorce from King Charles, who was only a prince at the time, in August 1996, a year prior to the accident. With the pair's separation came a slew of bad publicity and negative attention to the royal family. Harry and Meghan stepped away from the Royal Family in January 2020, relinquishing their titles and moving away from their official duties. They then had a sit down interview with Oprah and have been vocal about "mistreatment" by the Royal Family. Much like Diana, Harry's departure caused quite the media stir.
