“As we know, Meghan has an incredible ability to turn neutral moments into controversy. The video near the tunnel where Diana died was a terrible decision from a PR perspective.<\/p>\n
“It’s not just tone-deaf, it’s strategically reckless. She has to know how symbolic that location is, so doing a posed video there just looks self-serving.”<\/p>\n
Smith further commented that while Meghan’s actions in Paris were “baffling”, they seemed to align with her tendency to be “self-centered”. She stated: “If she genuinely wanted to visit privately, that would’ve been totally fine. But to share a stylised video that makes it about her?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“I’d love to say it’s baffling – because I guess the behaviour is – but it’s also straight out of the ‘All about ME-ghan’ textbook of behaviour.”<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Lee Cohen, a US-based columnist\/royal and foreign policy commentator, also criticized Meghan’s appearance in France, telling the Express: “This vile stunt exposes her as a desperate zero with the emotional depth of a puddle, clawing for likes while trampling on sacred memories.”<\/p>\n
A source close to the Duchess brushed off the backlash and accused Meghan’s critics of trying to find the “most tenuous” link between the two events, while her spokesman said of the night: “This evening reflects the culmination of many years of artistry and friendship, reflected in her support for his new creative chapter at Balenciaga. “.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
