“Meghan Markle Sparks Outrage with ‘Insensitive’ Clip: Seen Relaxing in Limo as She Passes Diana Crash Tunnel”
Meghan Markle has drawn sharp backlash over a newly posted video showing her with her feet up in a limousine while being driven past the tunnel in Paris where Princess Diana tragically died. Critics across social media and tabloid commentary called the clip “tone deaf,” “disrespectful,” and “insensitive to Diana’s memory.”
In the brief footage, Markle appears at ease, reclining with a casual posture, while the car approaches the tunnel known for its association with the fatal 1997 crash. Many observers argue the optics feel particularly ill-judged given the longstanding public sentiment surrounding Diana’s tragic legacy.
Reactions online have ranged from shock to outright condemnation, with some accusing the Duchess of Sussex of failing to show respect for the gravity of the site she was passing. Others urged for a response or clarification from her representatives. Meanwhile, royal watchers note how any reference—intentional or not—to the Diana tragedy is charged with emotional weight and deep history in British public life.
The backlash underscores how even minor gestures or visuals can become magnified when tied to the British royal family and their storied pasts. Whether this incident will develop into a broader controversy remains to be seen—but for now, it’s reignited discussion about sensitivity, royal optics, and the burdens of legacy.
