Prince Harry, Meghan Escape ‘Near Catastrophic’ Paparazzi Car Chase
Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, along with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, found themselves in a harrowing car chase with a group of aggressive paparazzi.
According to a spokesperson for the couple, the incident occurred in New York City after the couple attended an awards ceremony and lasted for over two hours.
The relentless pursuit led to several near collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians, and even two NYPD officers.
The couple’s spokesperson emphasized that while public figures may attract public interest, it should never compromise their safety or that of others. The manner in which the paparazzi obtained images during this dangerous car chase encourages an intrusive and hazardous practice.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who received a preliminary briefing on the matter, expressed concern over the potential injury to the two police officers involved. He criticized the reckless and irresponsible nature of the situation, highlighting the dangers posed by high-speed chases, even in a densely populated city like New York.
Prince Harry, who has been open about his mother Princess Diana’s tragic death caused by paparazzi pursuit, holds the press responsible for their role in her demise.
In his memoir, he recounts the relentless harassment he has faced from the media, including past relationships. The prince is currently suing the British government over his security arrangements while in the UK, advocating for specially-trained British police officers to be available, with access to UK intelligence.
Meghan, accompanied by Prince Harry and her mother, was in New York to accept a Women of Vision award at the Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Awards. In her acceptance speech, she highlighted the importance of advocating for the unheard, standing up against injustice, and speaking the truth.
The ceremony marked Meghan’s first public appearance after the coronation of King Charles III, which Prince Harry attended alone. The award acknowledged Meghan’s lifelong advocacy for women and girls, including her role as a United Nations Women’s advocate for women’s political participation and leadership.
Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” delves into his visit to the Paris tunnel where Princess Diana tragically lost her life. Reflecting on the experience, he questions the culpability of the paparazzi and their lack of legal consequences.

The actress expressed sadness over the reports, particularly the number of social media accounts allegedly created to circulate the false claim.
Appealing to her followers, Kadiri urged them not to engage with the pages spreading the rumour but to report them.
She said, “Please note that I am alive. I did not have any accident, and I am safe.”
The actress further expressed concern over what she described as the disturbing lengths some people go to on social media to hurt others.
“I am alive!! Please help me report. Please, I’m begging you, help me report it!! Any page that carries such news,” she said.
Kadiri added that she was saddened by the false reports and appealed to those behind them to leave her alone.
The actress’ clarification comes amid the continued spread of fake death reports involving celebrities and other public figures across social media platforms.
Controversial social media commentator, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has reacted to reports that Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has allegedly returned to the home of her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, following their recent marital controversy.
Otse made his position known in a video shared on his Facebook page on Saturday, where he questioned the reported return and recalled the backlash he received from some Nigerians during the earlier controversy involving the actress and her husband.

VDM said he wanted to see those who previously criticised him return to make posts about the latest development, recalling that he had been insulted and accused of hating women.
He also questioned claims that Regina Daniels returned because of her children.
“Some are saying she only went back because of her children. Didn’t she see the children when she left? Why didn’t she care so much about them then?”
The social media commentator further questioned whether Regina would have returned if Ned Nwoko were not a wealthy man.
“If Ned Nwoko Were A Poor Man, Would She Come Back?”
VDM also suggested that Regina may have returned after realising that life outside the marriage was not what she expected.
“She Saw That There Was Nothing Outside, That’s Why She Came Back.”
In another post accompanying his reaction, Otse wrote: “As seen on social media Regina Daniels is back home to SEN NED NWOKO… or rather PA NED according to emotional Nigerians then.”
However, the report of Regina Daniels’ return has not been independently confirmed by the actress or Ned Nwoko.

Sean “Diddy” Combs could be released from prison earlier than previously expected after his projected release date was moved forward again.
According to the latest listing from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons, the 56-year-old music mogul is now projected to leave the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, on February 5, 2028.
The latest adjustment moves his projected release date forward by more than two weeks from the previously listed date of February 20, 2028.

Combs’ release date has reportedly been revised several times since he began serving his 50-month federal prison sentence in October 2025.
His initial projected release date was June 2028 before subsequent changes moved it forward to April, February and January. It was later adjusted to February 20, 2028, before the latest change to February 5.
The reason for the repeated changes remains unclear.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons has previously said it does not comment on individual inmates’ confinement conditions, release plans or the reasons behind changes to projected release dates, citing privacy, safety and security concerns.
Diddy’s Prison Sentence
Combs is serving his sentence after a federal jury found him guilty in 2025 on two counts of transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution.
However, he was acquitted of the more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
A judge subsequently sentenced the rapper and entertainment executive to four years and two months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release.
Reported Altercation at Fort Dix
The latest release-date adjustment comes weeks after reports that Combs was involved in an altercation with another inmate at the New Jersey prison.
Reports cited by the Daily Mail alleged that Combs and the inmate initially pushed each other before punches were exchanged. Guards reportedly intervened, and Combs was subsequently placed in solitary confinement.
Prison officials have not publicly confirmed the details of the alleged incident.
Combs’ representatives have previously denied reports that he violated prison rules, maintaining that the Bad Boy Entertainment founder was focused on sobriety, self-discipline and personal growth while serving his sentence.
For now, the Bureau of Prisons lists February 5, 2028, as Combs’ projected release date.
However, the date could still change.
