Others were far harsher, with one person posting, “The woman is a horrible creature.”

Harry’s Painful Connection to the Location

The controversy comes just months after Prince Harry opened up about the grief of losing his mother. In a 2024 interview with Nikki Scott, founder of Scotty’s Little Soldiers, the Duke reflected on how he coped with her death.

“You convince yourself that the person that you’ve lost wants you or needs you to be sad for as long as possible to prove to them that they’re missed,” he said. “But then there’s this realization of, no, they must want me to be happy.”

Meghan’s Return to Europe

This marked Meghan’s first visit to Europe since 2023, when she and Harry attended his Invictus Games foundation event.

For her Paris Fashion Week debut, the Duchess stepped out in a stylish monochrome outfit at the Balenciaga Women’s Wear Spring/Summer show. She accessorized with a black suede Balenciaga handbag, matching £745 (AUD $1,518) Balenciaga Knife pumps, oval diamond earrings, and wore her hair neatly in a low bun.

Before joining the royal family, Meghan was no stranger to the fashion world, often attending New York and Toronto Fashion Weeks during her acting days on Suits.

Despite her polished appearance in Paris, the timing and setting of her recent post have reignited criticism toward the Duchess — and reopened old wounds tied to one of the royal family’s most painful chapters.
