Overview

• The short clip, filmed from a car after the Oct. 4 Balenciaga show, showed landmarks by the Pont de l’Alma bridge and ended with a shot of Meghan’s feet on the seat.
• Royal commentators say the post upset Princes Harry and William and could set back fragile reconciliation efforts, though these accounts rely on unnamed sources and expert opinion.
• Meghan issued a statement to People saying she went to Paris to support Pierpaolo Piccioli, and a Sussex source told Newsweek she did not know the underpass was nearby.
• Supporters call the link to Princess Diana’s death tenuous, while critics label the video insensitive given the route’s proximity to the 1997 crash site.
• Her Paris appearance drew strong fashion-world attention, including a greeting from Anna Wintour and best‑dressed mentions, which commentators say signals a pivot toward fashion-focused projects.
