This week's visit is a big deal for Harry and Meghan, as in May, Meghan was the first to visit Ms. After the awards ceremony, she, Harry, and her mother, Doria Ragland, were involved in a "near-catastrophic car chase by a group of very aggressive paparazzi," a spokesman for the couple said at the time. The relentless chase, he continued, "lasted more than two hours and involved other drivers on the road, pedestrians, and two NYPD officers, who were repeatedly brought to the brink of a collision. As a public figure, public attention is bound to follow, but it should not come at the expense of anyone's safety. Given the manner in which these images were obtained, the dissemination of these images would have facilitated a very intrusive act that would have been dangerous for all involved."
After the incident, Harry and Meghan faced backlash for it, and according to a source speaking to Us Weekly, the couple is "shocked" by the public reaction: "They insist that their account of the car chase was absolutely not exaggerated, and those who say otherwise People who say otherwise are very hurt and out of line," they said.
