Meghan faced criticism for the footage from numerous outlets and Royal observers, while sources close to her fought back, claiming the connection between the two events was “tenuous”.<\/p>\n
Yet an expert has condemned the Duchess for her action, describing it as “utterly tone-deaf and self-absorbed,” and stating she should have considered the “gravity of the location” before sharing the video.<\/p>\n
Lee Cohen, a US-based columnist\/royal and foreign policy commentator, told the Express: “What an utterly tone-deaf and self-absorbed move. Filming herself lounging in a limo with her feet propped up, casually cruising past the very spot where Princess Diana met her tragic end-it’s beyond idiotic; it’s downright disrespectful and insensitive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“It reeks of someone so wrapped up in their own ‘glamorous’ narrative that they can’t even pause to consider the gravity of the location.<\/p>\n
“She’s not honoring anything or anyone; she’s just flaunting her privilege in the most crass way possible, turning a site of profound sorrow into a backdrop for her vapid content.”<\/p>\n
Mr. Cohen characterized the Duchess’s video as a “thoughtless stunt that exposes her complete lack of empathy and class”. He elaborated: “No wonder she’s been universally panned for it-it’s the kind of thoughtless stunt that exposes her complete lack of empathy and class.<\/p>\n
“If she thought this would come across as relatable or chic, she miscalculated spectacularly; instead, it just amplifies how out of touch she truly is with real human decency.”<\/p>\n
A representative for the Duchess commented at the time of her appearance: “This evening reflects the culmination of many years of artistry and friendship, reflected in her support for his [Pierpaolo Piccioli’s] new creative chapter at Balenciaga.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
