Meghan Markle Faces Backlash Over Paris Fashion Week Appearance, Social Media Posts

Meghan Markle recently attended Paris Fashion Week, marking her first appearance at fashion shows in over a decade, which sparked mixed reactions and criticism. She was mocked for her dramatic 'Zoolander'-style walk and accused of making the event all about herself, with some commentators disputing the claim that it was her first time at such shows, noting her previous lower-profile appearances. During the event, Meghan was seen networking with industry figures and sat in the front row, though her behavior, including laughing when a model tripped, was described as awkward and out of place by some observers. Additionally, Meghan faced backlash for posting a video on Instagram showing her feet up in a limo near the Paris tunnel linked to Princess Diana's tragic death, which critics labeled as insensitive and bewildering. While some defended the post as a human moment, royal experts and social media users harshly criticized it, with some suggesting it was a deliberate message to the royal family. Meghan's attendance at the Balenciaga show was also controversial given the brand's recent cancellation, though her representatives stated she was there to support a friend in the fashion industry.
