Does Harry and Meghan’s car chase story add up?

Anyone who has ever visited New York City will be scratching their heads over Harry and Meghan’s claims about a car chase. The Duke and Duchess of Montecito have said paparazzi subjected them to a ‘relentless pursuit’ and ‘near catastrophic’ chase that lasted for ‘two hours’. In NYC? Where you famously can’t drive so much as a couple of blocks without getting stuck in traffic or held up by lights? 

I’ve caught cabs in Manhattan many times. It’s an infuriating experience. You stop constantly, sometimes on every block, to let armies of pedestrians cross the street. Very often it makes more sense to get out and walk – you’ll get to your destination quicker. It is almost impossible to have a car chase in the thronged, clogged wonderful streets of New York City. 

And yet according to H&M, that’s what happened.
