Meghan Markle Sparks Backlash Over Video Near Princess Diana Crash Site

Meghan Markle has faced intense backlash after posting a short video on Instagram showing her feet resting inside a limousine as she drove through central Paris.

The clip, filmed near the Pont de l’Alma tunnel, the location of Princess Diana’s fatal 1997 car crash, quickly went viral, sparking widespread criticism from royal watchers and social media users alike.

Many viewers described the post as insensitive, given its proximity to a site still associated with deep trauma for Prince Harry, who has spoken publicly about the long-lasting pain of losing his mother.

The footage appeared to have been taken as Meghan traveled between events during Paris Fashion Week, where she attended the Balenciaga show in a monochrome outfit.

While supporters argued the video was simply a glimpse into her trip, detractors viewed it as another example of the Duchess’s missteps in public perception.
