Meghan Markle is facing sharp backlash from royal fans after sharing an Instagram video showing her relaxing in a limousine near the Pont d’Alma tunnel in Paris — the location tied to Princess Diana’s fatal 1997 crash.

 

 

 

In the clip, Meghan films scenic bridges along the drive, then turns the camera on herself putting her feet up in the back of the car as the vehicle passes close to the crash site. 

 

Many viewers labelled the post “insensitive,” accusing her of poor judgement given the emotional weight attached to Diana’s death. One commenter asked, “Why would she film the place his mother died?” while others questioned the timing and intent of the video. 

 

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams didn’t hold back. He called the move “utterly bewildering,” “beyond stupid,” and “insensitive beyond belief,” claiming no adviser would endorse such a gesture. 

 

This controversy comes amid Meghan’s appearance in Paris for her first Paris Fashion Week. Although the video stirred outrage, Meghan’s team has not officially responded. 

 

The reaction encapsulates the tightrope Meghan continues walking: public support on some fronts, yet fierce scrutiny over symbolic missteps. It’s a reminder that even casual social media moments can ignite strong emotional responses when they brush against royal history and public sentiment.

I thought the Trump haters were deranged.  They got nothing on the Markle haters.

 

Being driven in a limo 'near Pont d’Alma' a bridge in Paris, where she needs to be for an event, is offensive  

She better not drive by Auschwitz & One World TC, as would be offensive to Jews & Americans ...  Flying over the 'Gulf of America' would really be offensive to Mexicans ...
