Prince Harry pressured New York cops to speed up their investigation and make arrests after their 'high speed' chase with photographers through the streets of Manhattan. He even claimed there was a cover-up, letters and emails obtained by DailyMail.com show.

'The Duke feels intentionally misled and is suspicious of a cover-up,' one missive from his security company to the New York Police Department said. Harry also demanded that arrests be made the very next day and threatened to make an official complaint.

The demand came after John Hart, the NYPD's top intelligence officer, had sent police in London two letters, one saying there was not enough evidence to make arrests and a second – three months later – saying there was. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with the May 2023 incident.

Hart's original letter was sent in September 2023. The second arrived on December 6 that year, midway through a hearing in London when he was trying to get the British government to pay for protection for him and his family while visiting the UK. But TorchStone then sent an email saying Harry was upset at the slow pace of the NYPD's investigation and felt 'intentionally misled'.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle leaving the Ziegfeld Theatre in Manhattan on May 16, 2023. Later this night after meeting their private security company, they'd allegedly be chased down by paparazzi during a bizarre 'two hour' car chase. Markle received the Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Award and posed with journalist and social activist Gloria Steinem.
