British PM Rishi Sunak seems to dismiss Meghan and Harry 'car chase'
Britain’s Prime Minister seemed to dismiss the security concerns of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — saying that cars in New York are “not really my priority.”
Rishi Sunak was responding to questions Friday about the couple’s “near catastrophic car chase” following an awards ceremony in Midtown Manhattan earlier this week.
Sunak told the BBC he was “not aware of a particular incident in question” when asked whether he had concerns over the privacy and safety of members of the Royal Family.
“In general, I wouldn’t comment on anything to do with the Royal Family,” he said.
A spokesperson for the couple — who was in the Big Apple Tuesday for Markle to accept a Woman of Vision Award at a gala event for the MS Foundation for Women — claimed they were involved in a two-hour pursuit with paparazzi that resulted “in multiple near collisions.”
The incident happened after the couple – their first public appearance since King Charles’ Coronation earlier this month – left the Ms. Foundation For Women’s 50th-anniversary gala on their way to a friend’s home on the Upper East Side.
