What was Meghan Markle thinking with her tone-deaf Paris video?

Meghan Markle has come under heavy criticism after posting a short video to Instagram that appeared to show her relaxing in a limousine as it passed close to the Paris tunnel where Princess Diana’s fatal crash occurred in 1997.

The Duchess filmed nighttime views of the city as her car drove by the Pont Alexandre III and Pont des Invalides bridges before turning the camera on herself, stretching her legs out across the back seat. Viewers soon pointed out that the route was just steps away from the Pont de l’Alma tunnel, where Diana, Princess of Wales, was fatally injured while being pursued by paparazzi.
