Meghan Markle slammed for ‘insensitive’ post as she is driven near the Paris tunnel where Princess Diana died
She’s in the city of love!
But Meghan Markle appears to be getting plenty of hate over an “insensitive” post of herself riding in a limo with her feet up near the Parisian tunnel where her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, died in 1997.
Markle was returning from her visit to Paris Fashion Week where she was a guest of Balenciaga, with her whizzing past Pont Alexandre III and the Pont des Invalides bridges.

Diana, the most famous woman in the world in the 1990s, died during a nighttime chase by photographers, around central Paris.
Talking to Daily Mail UK, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams blasted the “utterly bewildering” and “beyond stupid” social media post, calling it “insensitive” beyond belief.
“I don’t understand what on earth she was thinking — well, she can’t have been thinking. No adviser would ever advise doing something so strange,” Fitzwilliams said.
Prince Harry and Prince William have spoken about their grief at the death of their mother Diana, who died when they were just adolescents.
Markle is currently in Paris for the first time in two years.
The American-born royal was seen at the Balenciaga show at the weekend, wearing a billowing all-white ensemble.
The visit to Europe comes just one month after Prince Harry had a meeting with King Charles in London, as the pair attempt to reconcile their royal rift.
The Duke of Sussex met with King Charles at a private tea during a four-day whirlwind visit on September 10, at Clarence House.
The meeting was supposed to signal a reconciliation.
However, leaked details appear to show it was a difficult and emotionally complicated meeting.
Prince Harry gave the king a framed photograph of himself, Markle and their two children, Archie, and Lilibet, whom the King hasn’t seen since the Platinum Jubilee in June 2022.
Harry claims it is not safe to fly the children back to the UK.
