A casual moment in a Parisian limousine, feet up, the city lights flashing by. For most, it would be an innocent glimpse into a glamorous trip. But when Meghan Markle posted just such a video, its proximity to a site of immense royal tragedy—the Pont de l'Alma tunnel—ignited a firestorm of criticism over the weekend, as first reported by the New York Post. In the clip, Markle is seen relaxing as her car passes landmarks like the Pont Alexandre III, drawing attention to its closeness to the site of Princess Diana's fatal accident.
Royal commentators and the public alike decried the post as tone-deaf. Richard Fitzwilliams called the act 'utterly bewildering' and 'insensitive beyond belief', questioning how such a moment was allowed to be filmed and shared. Some viewers speculated the video could carry symbolic weight or be a pointed message to Prince William.
