Meghan Markle SKIPS Los Angeles Award Ceremony After Car Chase Controversy

perezhilton.com:

Meghan Markle isn’t taking any chances after that paparazzi car chase, we guess. As you know, last week the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were in what they called a “near catastrophic” car chase, along with the Suits star’s mom Doria Ragland, while leaving the 2023 Women of Vision Awards in NYC.

Their released statement called the chasers a “ring of highly aggressive” paparazzi which caused social media, celebrities, and even royal insiders to criticize them and accuse them of wildly exaggerating — especially since NYPD‘s statement made clear “there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries or arrests” in the incident.

No luck there as of yet. Witnesses and even the taxi driver say it just wasn’t that dangerous — but people have also come to their defense.

In particular it’s been noted how much emotional trauma may have been caused by the eerily similarity to the tragic death of Prince Harry‘s mom Princess Diana.
