Meghan Markle’s latest Instagram video sparked a wave of criticism across social‑media platforms.
The 41‑year‑old Duchess posted a short clip of herself in a limo with her feet up, driving past the Pont d’Alma tunnel in Paris – the same spot where Princess Diana lost her life in 1997.
Royal experts and fans alike slammed the post. Richard Fitzwilliams, a well‑known writer on the monarchy, called it “utterly bewildering” and “beyond stupid.” He said no adviser would ever suggest such a move. Several Twitter users labeled the Duchess “American Psycho” or even “evil” for being near the tragic site. One fan quietly defended her, noting that many people lift their feet in rides and that there may have been no malicious intent.
The backlash came amid Meghan’s return to Paris for Fashion Week. She has been front‑and‑center in the public eye ever since joining the royal family and stepping back from official duties. Tonight, she attended the Balenciaga show, wearing a white tunic, cape, slacks and black heels. The designer outfit head, Pierpaolo Piccioli, is a close friend of the Duchess, and she reportedly supported him at the show, even as Balenciaga faced criticism for controversial ads.
A spokesperson for Meghan did not respond quickly to requests for comment. The social‑media storm highlighted how sensitive the public remains toward any association with Princess Diana’s memory. The Duchess’s choice to share the footage has left many wondering what came out of the Royal Household’s usual PR guidelines.
As the conversation continues online, the key phrases that keep emerging are “Meghan Markle,” “Princess Diana,” “Paris,” “Pont d’Alma,” and “Instagram backlash.” The moment underscores how a single post can ignite worldwide debate in the age of instant sharing.
