Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, were involved in a "near catastrophic car chase" with paparazzi photographers on Tuesday night, a spokesperson for the royal couple told NBC News yesterday. The alleged incident happened after Harry and Meghan attended the Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Awards at Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City. "This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers," their spokesperson said. The NYPD said officers assisted the royal couple's private security in transporting them, and there were no reported crashes, injuries or arrests. An NYPD spokesman acknowledged that "there were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging." Read more here. |

In between recaps about the swim team and basketball season, the yearbook at one Missouri high school features pages dedicated to blunt talk about drugs, underage drinking and hook-up culture. The award-winning staff at Kirkwood High School has found itself in the midst of controversy with pages filled with pictures of vape pods and beer as well as student opinions about casual sex relationships. School officials do not conduct prior review of the yearbook, a district spokesperson said. "I think it's important to give students voices and we shouldn't be afraid to talk about these types of topics or any topics for that matter," the yearbook's student editor-in-chief told TODAY.com. "Covering topics that matter help spur discussion and help to educate people." See the divided reactions of the school's parents here. |

An Iowa woman initially was told by her doctor not to worry when she complained of an intense itching sensation between her toes. While scratching her foot, she found a tiny spot the size of a pinhead with rings around it. Just to be safe, Amy Jardon's doctor wanted her to return for a biopsy. It led to a diagnosis of acral melanoma, a rare type of skin cancer that can develop on the hands, feet, fingernails or toenails. "I was shocked," Jardon told TODAY.com. She had the lesion removed, and it took her a few months to be able to stand for long periods without it hurting. Here are the 5 signs to watch for when it comes to skin cancer. |

The delicate process involves injecting hyaluronic acid filler into your under-eye area to give it a fuller, more awake look. But is it safe? We spoke with a dermatologist and plastic surgeon about whether it's the right procedure for you, while breaking down the mild to serious complications that can occur. There's also the cost. "We charge by syringe and it's typically around $1,000 per syringe," one cosmetic surgeon told us. "Typically, a patient will need one to two syringes for that region."

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
A teen umpire and a young catcher had a whirlwind day behind the plate this week. Aidan Wiles, 17, was working a youth tournament in Jacksonville, Florida, when a dust devil formed at home plate. Catcher Bauer Zoya, 7, stood up and was quickly engulfed by what looked like a mini tornado. Aidan grabbed Bauer and pulled him away from a wind phenomenon that can contain gusts up to 60 miles per hour. Bauer's father was grateful for Aidan's reaction. "Clearly that young man was raised right ... he was selfless and did what was right," he told us. See the video of the moment here. |
