Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell car chase allegations, the royal family has no plans to issue a statement.ET has learned that neither Buckingham nor Kensington Palace will be commenting on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's claims of a car chase in New York City.A source tells ET that «since Harry and Meghan have stepped back from royal duties, the palace generally does not comment on their activities.»On Wednesday, a representative for Harry — who is the son of King Charles III and the late Princess Diana — and Meghan told news outlets that the couple, along with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, were involved in a «near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi» on Tuesday night.

The rep said that the incident occurred after the trio left the Ziegfeld Theater, where Meghan had been honored at the the Ms.

Foundation Women of Vision Awards. Harry, Meghan and Doria entered and exited the venue publicly and posed for photos on the red carpet that night. «This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD (New York Police Department) officers,» the statement continued. «While being a public figure comes with a level of interest from the public, it should never come at the cost of anyone’s safety.

Dissemination of these images, given the ways in which they were obtained, encourages a highly intrusive practice that is dangerous to all in involved.»Harry's mother, Princess Diana, died after a car crash involving paparazzi in Paris, France, on Aug.
