Sharing his perspective. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s taxi driver Sukhcharn Singh opened up about his experience behind the wheel amid the couple’s car chase.
“I was on 67th Street and then the security guard hailed me. Next thing you know, Prince Harry and his wife were hopping into my cab,” the cab driver told BBC on Thursday, May 18.
Singh recalled getting blocked by a garbage truck which allowed photographers to catch up to them to photograph the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Their security guard ultimately made the decision to return to a police precinct due to their concerns.
“They looked nervous, I think they were being chased the whole day or something. They were pretty nervous, but the security guard, he was on it,” Singh said before questioning claims that the situation was dangerous. “I don’t think that’s true, I think that’s all exaggerated and stuff like that. Don’t read too much into that.”
