>> we begin with the chaotic scene that played out in new york city involving prince harry his wife meghan markle and her mother. after leaving an event a swarm of photographers began to chase them trying to get their shot. just the latest controversy involving the famous couple and the paparazzi. here's abc's trevor alt. >> reporter: they're two of the most recognizable people on the planet. duke and duchess of sussex, prince harry and his wife meghan last night the couple and

meghan's mother dorian arrived at the women of vision awards in new york city to a swarm of flashing cameras. meghan radiant in a gold strapless dress receiving an award for her advocacy work on behalf of women and girls. the couple left the zig feld ballroom at 10:00 a.m. when the chaos began. another clash between the paparazzi and the sussex's. >> they felt they had given everything away last night. they posed on the red carpet, photos taken outside of the venue they were at. so to them they sort of have done their job and so then for that to continue ave. ever wards is where they felt the line was crossed. >> reporter: the couple releasing a statement calling the event a near catastrophic car chase at the hands of the ring of a highly aggressive paparazzi adding this relentless pursuit lasting over two hours resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two nypd officers.

>> according to harry and meghan the paparazzi were reckless and irresponsible. they were driving the wrong way down the street. it sounded quite scary from the couple's perspective so much so that they ended up going to a police precinct pulling into the driveway and asking the police for help. >> reporter: after pulling into a police precinct they got into a taxi to try t photographers. sunny singh was driving that taxi. >> they told me to circle back, just about to give me the address to where they were going but the paparazzi came and then he told me circle back to the precinct. >> reporter: so very quickly. >> yeah. >> reporter: how long. >> maybe ten 15 minutes, yeah. >> reporter: did it seem tense inside. >> they were nervous. you could see their faces they were nervous. >> reporter: buckingham palace had no comment on the incident. new york city police department on the security team said there were numerous photographers that

made their transport challenging but the duke and duchess of sussex arrived and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries or arrests in regard. >> there are really two different interpretations of what was going on. harry and meghan saying this was nearly catastrophic. now the police say it wasn't catastrophic, it was merely challenging to get meghan and harry home because they were having some interactions with photographers. if it took them the two hours they say it did to get home, it was because their own private security may have taken a meandering route to finally try and shake the paparazzi. >> the nypd's account of this event does not describe it as a chase but harry and meghan's statement is incredibly powerful and describes it as near catastrophic. i think you can tell very much frp their statement that their feelings about the incident have very much formed their impression of the incident. they clearly felt very shaken in

that situation. >> i would find it hard to believe that there was a 2-hour high-speed chase. but if it's ten minutes, a 10-minute chase is extremely dangerous in new york city. >> reporter: new york's mayor calling the actions by the paparazzi reckless and irresponsible. >> you shouldn't be speeding anywhere, but this is a densely populated city and i don't think there's many of us who don't recall how his mom died. >> this is a moment that harry would have no doubt been dreading his whole life. he's always spoken about the fear of history repeating itself, and what we heard about, the events described from the couple's spokespeople, was straight out of princess diana's story. >> reporter: the duke of sussex has long blamed the tabloid media for contributing to his mother's death. the last chilling images of diana in paris in 1997 remind us

of the car chase that soon followed and her death t abc documentary diana seven days, prince harry's disdain for the tabloid media made clear. >> i think one of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that the people that chased her into the tunnel were the same people taking photographs of her while she was still dying on the back seat of the car. >> reporter: in an interview with, a bc's michael strahan for his book spare he said he was worried his wife meghan and his children would suffer the same fate. >> i'm trying to put an end to this because i can't ever imagine and i don't want to imagine what that would be like for me or for my kids, especially when you talk about history repeating itself right? >> reporter: the couple's netflix documentary harry and meghan showing firsthand how the paparazzi trailed them and the fear that brings. >> following us. >> who? >> from one car to another. >> reporter: this was the first

time the couple appeared in public since the coronation of king charles prince harry's father less than two weeks ago. harry attending the ceremony alone while his wife and children stayed back in california. >> god save the king. >> reporter: the couple has been at the center of controversy since their shocking decision to quit as working royals in early 2020. in the years since the couples giving a series of revealing interviews seen by many as damaging to the royal family. >> and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. >> reporter: tell-all interview with oprah. >> what? >> reporter: their 6-part documentary on netflix. >> happy to lie to protect my brother. they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us. >> reporter: prince harry's memoir spare, the latest episode thrusting them back in the spotlight once again. >> there is a hunger of harry
