NEW #HarryandMeghan's press secretary Ashley Hansen said:
"I have never experienced their vulnerability as much as I did last night. They were incredibly scared and shaken up."

"There were several times where the car stopped, and security got out," she told me.
"There were instances where the police confronted the paparazzi and had asked them to stop or give them space, to do this safely. Unfortunately, that wish was not respected.
Tom Buda, a former detective with the NYPDsaid: "They used e-bikes to help their sedans to keep up. I witnessed at least 15 lights blown by the paparazzi vehicles."
"As security, we don't know what the intention of these supposed paparazzi are - and we don't know who's who.
And they were driving recklessly. Our assumption was they were paparazzi. Trying to make lots of money. But they were driving aggressively and badly. The duke and duchess were a bit shaken up."
"The spokesperson said the footage could form part of an investigation which the NYPD has initiated, one which she said the couple had not requested."
"There is plenty of footage of the chase taken at points in the pursuit. Some of it is from CCTV cameras; some seemingly captured by the prince himself who was seen, in the paparazzi footage filming on his mobile phone."

Having read today's UK papers reporting on Harry and William's reunion, apparently: 1) a 2min walk is *the* way to mending the rift 2) it will be difficult for W to forgive H (not the opposite..) 4) it's constitutionally important that they reconcile 1/5
5) it will be difficult for W to forgive M for telling the truth - that it was K who made her cry 6) Having been reminded of how wonderful Royal duty, pomp and pageantry is, commentators are sure Harry regrets replacing it for a meaningless -they say- life in California 2/5
There's more, but the common objective seems to be to turn the narrative around, make people (in the UK) forget the racism, that they denied M help in her worst hour and that one of their future kings might have *concerns* about Harry's children' skin tone. 3/5
