Loose Women presenter Judi Love says she hopes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle can ‘find peace’ after the couple claimed they were involved in a ‘near catastrophic car chase’
Loose Women’s Judi Love says she’s ‘praying’ for Harry and Meghan after their recent run-in with the paparazzi.
The couple claimed they were involved in a “near catastrophic car chase” last week as they left an awards ceremony in New York City.
In a statement, Harry’s spokesperson said the “relentless pursuit” lasted more than two hours by half a dozen vehicles.
Many celebrities have defended the couple in light of what happened to Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, and now Judi, 42, has had her say on the matter.
She said: “It was shocking to hear that Prince Harry, Meghan and her mum Doria said they were in a “near catastrophic” pursuit by the paps in New York.

“I pray that one day they’ll live a life of peace, and will feel safe,” reports OK! magazine.
Despite the Sussex’s claims about the seriousness of the car chase, some, notably Piers Morgan, discredited their story.
The TalkTV host shared a photo of Meghan in a taxi smiling, quipping: “An hour into the supposedly terrifying ‘near-catastrophic’ car chase with paparazzi.. and the mood seems one of amusement.”
Meanwhile, the New York Police Department released a statement regarding the couple’s claims, saying they “assisted the private security team protecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”

They continued: “There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination, and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries or arrests in regard.”
In response, Judi said: “I’ve seen comments from the NYPD and from a taxi driver at the scene, who said there had been no collisions, injuries or arrests, but we can’t imagine the level of fear they must have felt knowing the awful way Princess Diana died.”
The incident happened after Harry and Meghan left the Ziegfeld Theatre in midtown Manhattan where the Suits star was honoured at the Women of Vision Awards.

The Mayor of New York Eric Adams called the incident “reckless and irresponsible” in a press conference in which he slammed the actions of the photographers.
He said: “New York City is different from a small town somewhere. You shouldn’t be speeding anywhere but this is a densely populated city,” he added, noting the amount of traffic and movement and people on the streets.
He added there are not many people who don’t recall how Harry’s mother died in a high-speed chase in 1997 after trying to flee paparazzi in Paris.
