Overview

• Meghan Markle shared a short car video from Paris that showed landmarks near the Pont de l’Alma and a shot of her feet, prompting widespread claims the post was insensitive.
• Her camp says the clip carried no deliberate reference to Princess Diana and that she did not realize the tunnel’s proximity, calling attempts to link the video to Diana’s death a stretch.
• Friends and insiders say Prince Harry feels his mother’s memory is being used to attack his wife and that he has been left hurt and upset, though he has not commented publicly.
• Royal commentators Richard Fitzwilliams and Jennie Bond call the post a very bad mistake and caution it could complicate recent efforts to thaw relations with the royal family; there has been no official palace response.
• Meghan told People she attended Paris Fashion Week to support designer Pierpaolo Piccioli at Balenciaga, and her appearance raised her fashion profile with plaudits including a greeting from Anna Wintour and a Vogue best-dressed nod.
