New York mayor Eric Adams condemned photographers for being “reckless and irresponsible” after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were allegedly involved in a “near catastrophic car chase” with paparazzi. Mr Adams added that it would be “horrific” for Harry to be involved in an accident similar to the one that killed his mother Diana in 1997. "It's clear that the press, paparazzi, they want to get the right shot. But public safety must always be at the forefront," he told reporters a press conference on Wednesday 17 May.
