**Meghan Markle Faces Backlash Over Paris Fashion Week Video Featuring Princess Diana’s Tragic Site**

*Published Oct. 16, 2025, 6:04 p.m. ET*

Meghan Markle has come under intense criticism for sharing a clip of the site where her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, died. The clip was part of a montage video from Meghan’s trip to Paris Fashion Week. According to sources, even Prince Harry is reportedly “upset” over what has been described as a “triggering” post, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Princess Diana tragically died from injuries sustained in a car crash when the vehicle she was riding in collided with the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris on August 31, 1997. Critics were quick to slam Meghan for including footage showing her feet resting in a chauffeur-driven limousine as it passed the infamous tunnel on the way to the Balenciaga fashion show.

One critic harshly commented on the mother-of-two’s solo trip to Paris, stating Meghan showed “no class, no sensitivity, no integrity,” and called the inclusion of the clip “a disgusting display of disrespect for the late Diana.” Another added, “Calculated, unkind and triggering for her husband… makes me wonder about the real state of the marriage.”

### Harry ‘Haunted’ by His Mother’s Death

Insiders close to Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, say the post has reopened old wounds. A source shared:
*”For Harry, any link to Paris is emotional. He’s protective of Meghan, but also haunted by the way his mother’s life ended there. Although Meghan didn’t deliberately intend for the video to draw such a shocking comparison, it did, and now they are navigating their way through it together.”*

The insider revealed Meghan’s unintentional jab has caused stress in their marriage. This comes amid rumors suggesting their relationship is strained as Harry tries to reconcile with his estranged father, King Charles, and older brother, Prince William.
*”It’s been emotional and tense, but they will get through it,”* the source assured.

### Further Royal Tensions Over Meghan’s Paris Trip

The Duchess of Sussex’s “distasteful” video wasn’t the only royal incident causing upset. Additional sources indicate that Meghan’s decision to travel to Paris — her first return to Europe since 2023 — surprised the Royal Firm.
*”It caught them off guard. After everything that’s happened, nobody expected her to plant herself in the middle of Paris Fashion Week,”* insiders said.

Allegedly, Sister-in-law Kate Middleton’s camp was also “livid” that Meghan managed to secure a front-row seat at the prestigious event. Kate, 43, takes her ambassadorial role for the British Fashion Council seriously and may have viewed Meghan’s new direction as a form of calculated competition.

An insider explained:
*”Kate sees herself as the face of British fashion – dignified, understated, and loyal to homegrown designers. Seeing Meghan with Anna [Wintour] felt like a challenge.”*

While Meghan’s position at the fashion show might be perceived as an attempt to one-up Kate, the Duchess also faced online backlash for her behavior during the event.

### Front Row Debacle: Meghan’s Controversial Reaction

RadarOnline.com previously reported on a viral video clip showing Meghan laughing after a model stumbled on the runway. Social media users were quick to condemn Meghan, branding her “a cruel person.” Many recalled past public moments where the 44-year-old seemed to laugh at others’ embarrassment or pain.

Several commenters referenced when Meghan giggled as her young niece, Princess Charlotte, stumbled while on the palace balcony with the royal family, raising further questions about Meghan’s public reactions in sensitive moments.
