‘Sonny’ Singh was driving his yellow taxi through Manhattan on Tuesday night when he picked up an extraordinary fare.
He tells BBC News that a security guard hailed him and “next thing Prince Harry and his wife were hopping into my cab”.
He says that as they travelled a block, they “got blocked by a garbage truck and all of a sudden paparazzi came and starting taking pictures”.
He said the group, which also included Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland, were just about to tell him the location they wanted to be taken to, but then told him to go back to the police station… where he dropped them off.
“They looked nervous, I think they were being chased the whole day or something - but the security guard he was on it,” Singh said.
Asked about the description of a “near catastrophic chase” he said “I don’t think that’s true, I think that’s all exaggerated”.
He said he didn’t feel in danger and that the police weren’t following - “they only helped when we were blocked by the trash truck they honked and then they went their way we went our way”.
