Unsurprisingly, it seems to be unravelling a little:
Nicholas Witchell, Royal correspondent:
“But the question is whether the statement issued by the Sussexes' spokesperson was an accurate reflection of what happened?
The statement, couched in vivid and perhaps rather breathless language, talks about "a near-catastrophic car chase", "a ring" of paparazzi and a "relentless pursuit" which lasted for more than two hours.
That doesn't appear to be being substantiated now from what we're hearing from the New York Police Department and the mayor of New York”
Sonny Singh (Taxi Driver):
Asked about the description of a "near catastrophic chase" he said "I don't think that's true, I think that's all exaggerated".
He said he didn't feel in danger and that the police weren't following - "they only helped when we were blocked by the trash truck they honked and then they went their way we went our way".
As our late, dear Queen once said, “recollections may vary.”
