Prince Harry, Meghan in 'near catastrophic' New York car chase

13 Sept 10:44 Key points summarised by AI

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's spokesperson reported a "near catastrophic car chase" with paparazzi in New York, citing a two-hour pursuit with multiple near collisions.
New York authorities, including the NYPD and Mayor Eric Adams, along with a taxi driver, largely downplayed the incident's danger and duration, reporting no injuries or arrests.
The event draws parallels to the 1997 car crash that killed Harry's mother, Princess Diana, an incident he attributes to paparazzi, highlighting his long-strained relationship with the media.
The couple's representative condemned the "highly intrusive practice," asserting that public interest should never compromise anyone's safety.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
