Meghan Markle was dubbed "unhinged" following the car chase involving paparazzi

Meghan Markle has been labeled "a little unhinged" as she was accused of being fame hungry. 

Royal contributor Jim Geraghty, as per National Review, claimed that the former Suits actress used her recent car chase experience with paparazzi to attempt to fish for attention.

He said, "There’s always been something a little unhinged about Markle’s relentless pursuit of fame."

"She and her husband can’t be all that bright if they thought they could make up a story like this and no one would notice the lack of corroborating evidence," Gergahty added.

"Or maybe they’ve become so solipsistic that they no longer perceive the events around them clearly, and the routine headaches of dealing with paparazzi in the middle of New York City become," and "in their minds, a life-and-death pursuit with disturbing echoes of the events leading up to the death of Harry’s mother."

The Duchess of Sussex as well as Prince Harry claimed that the entire ordeal was "near catastrophic" and that it caused them a great deal of distress. 

As per their spokesperson, the couple was involved in a chase that endangered the lives of the general public. 

"Last night, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Ms. Ragland were involved in a near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi," the spokesperson said in a statement.

"This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers," the spokesperson added.

However, it was later confirmed by police that there were no injuries or fatalities in the alleged "two-hour" car chase. 

Furthermore, the couple's taxi driver too revealed that the situation was nowhere near as dramatic as it was painted out to be.
