Prince William is said to be furious after Meghan Markle shared what many have called an “insensitive” video filmed near the site where Princess Diana died.
The Duchess of Sussex, who made a surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week over the weekend, attended Balenciaga’s Spring 2026 show directed by Pierpaolo Piccioli. She later posted a short reel of her trip, capturing glimpses of her limousine ride through Paris.
Meghan’s Video Sparks Backlash
In the video, Meghan can be seen resting her feet on the car seat as the camera pans to iconic Parisian landmarks, including the Pont Alexandre III and Pont des Invalides bridges along the Seine. However, the footage appears to show her heading toward the Pont de l’Alma bridge—the location of the tunnel where Princess Diana, Dodi Fayed, and their driver Henri Paul were killed in August 1997.
The clip quickly triggered widespread criticism online for its supposed lack of sensitivity. According to The Daily Mail, none were more offended than Prince William himself.
“That Tunnel Is Sacred Ground”
A palace insider told royal reporter Rob Shuter that the Prince of Wales “saw the clip and went white with anger,” describing him as “livid beyond words.”
“To him, it wasn’t just bad taste—it was personal desecration,” the source said. “That tunnel is sacred ground. For Meghan to treat it like a selfie moment was the ultimate insult.”
