Others accused Meghan of being inconsiderate toward her husband’s feelings. “She really doesn’t care about Harry’s anxiety. Why post this if you know it triggers him?” one critic asked. Another simply called it “No respect.”

Still, not everyone agreed with the outrage. Some fans defended her, arguing the backlash was overblown. “Omg seriously, this is a stretch,” one user replied under the video.

The controversy unfolded just as Meghan was earning praise for her polished appearance at the Balenciaga show. Her minimalist white ensemble, paired with black pointed heels and a sleek bun, drew admiration from supporters who described her as “radiant,” “peaceful,” and “utterly chic.” Yet detractors mocked the look as “shapeless” or “like a toilet paper roll,” turning her Paris debut into a battleground of opinions.

According to a spokesperson for the Duchess, Meghan’s attendance at the Balenciaga show wasn’t a casual visit but a gesture of support for the brand’s new creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli. “The Duchess has worn a number of designs by Pierpaolo over the years,” the spokesperson explained. “They’ve collaborated on pieces for key public moments, and her attendance reflects a shared appreciation for his artistic vision.”

Despite her intention to celebrate fashion, Meghan’s Paris trip ended up reigniting familiar controversy — a reminder that, for the Duchess of Sussex, even a simple video post can stir global debate.
