“Nothing happened,” the cop said in an interview with The Wrap. “Don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers.”
The pair’s 37-year-old taxi driver, Sonny Singh, also seemed to confirm the incident was not as dramatic as previously reported. Singh told the New York Post that the NYPD flagged him down for the runaway royals, who had ducked into a police station for help after allegedly being relentlessly followed by a crowd of paparazzi.
“They seemed like nice people but they didn’t really say anything,” Singh explained to the outlet of the bizarre situation. “They didn’t seem that scared but they looked nervous.”
Singh said six photographers then rushed the car “out of nowhere” and took pictures while they were stuck behind a trash truck on the busy street. He noted there were “flashes from every side of the car” causing him to lower the car’s visor “because the flashes were so bright,” but clarified that it “wasn’t scary.”
