Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's security team 'caused absolute chaos by driving on wrong side of road'

The couple attend the Ms Foundation for Women's award ceremony in New York on Tuesday evening.

A photographer at the incident has said that Meghan and Harry's security team caused "chaos" as they attempted to evade paparazzi.

The witness said: "They were heading east on 57th Street and came to a stop at a red light at 8th Avenue.

"It’s two lanes of traffic in each direction and they pulled out onto the opposite side of the road into oncoming traffic. But they got stuck in the middle of the road.

"It caused absolute chaos."

Another photographer told ITV: "Their driver was making it a catastrophic experience."

It comes as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's "near catastrophic" car chase claim was dismissed by their taxi driver on the evening.

Sukhcharn Singh picked up Meghan and Harry from the New York City Police Department’s 19th precinct, where they had gone to get away from paparazzi, on Tuesday evening.

Singh has called the couple's statement on the car chase "exaggerated" after speaking out on the incident.

He told NBC: "I think that’s all you know, exaggerated and stuff like that. So don’t read too much into that, you know.

"New York City is the safest place to be."

In a separate interview, Singh told the Washington Post: "I don’t think I would call it a chase."

"I never felt like I was in danger. It wasn’t like a car chase in a movie."
