Whoopi Goldberg doubts Harry and Meghan's account of paparazzi car chase: 'It just doesn't work in New York'

foxnews.com:

"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg was somewhat skeptical Thursday of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's account of the "near-catastrophic car chase" they were in after attending a New York City event this week, saying it "just doesn't work in New York." Calling it some "wacky stuff," Goldberg recounted how the spokesperson for Harry and Meghan used the loaded language to describe how their taxi was pursued by paparazzi.

Following an event where the Duchess of Sussex received the 2023 Woman of Vision Award from Gloria Steinem, Markle, her husband and her mother, Doria Ragland, were pursued by swarms of photographers for "over two hours," which resulted in "multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road," according to a spokesperson for the royal couple. "Others said it wasn’t bad, but I think people in New York know if it was possible to have car chases in New York, we’d all make it to the theater on time," Goldberg joked. "I think their spokesperson referenced something that you’d generally reference in Los Angeles.That's where you have chases, that's where you can move at high speeds.

I think they were dealing with aggressive paparazzi, but I don’t think it was where, you know, you watch it on TV like this, watching the cars go, because it just doesn't work in New York." Co-host Joy Behar added that when she sees an ambulance trying to get through a clogged-up part of Manhattan, she thinks "that person is dead," since they won't be able to get past that street.
