Photographers at the scene of an alleged "near catastrophic" car chase involving Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, have disputed the royal couple's account of the incident.

Celebrity photo agency Backgrid USA Inc. released a statement Wednesday defending its freelance photographers who witnessed the alleged chase and denied that the pursuit caused multiple near-collisions on the streets of New York City.
