Royal expert predicts Prince Harry ‘horrified and extremely angry’ over recent Meghan move
A royal expert has predicted that Prince Harry “will be horrified and extremely angry” over a recent move by Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.
Last week, Meghan was subject to a barrage of backlash after a video she posted from her time at Paris Fashion Week was branded “insensitive”.
The video in question had been taken from inside her car, featuring her feet up on the car seat as she showed off nearby Parisian sites.

It appeared she was passing the Pont Alexandre III and the Pont des Invalides bridges and was heading towards the Pont d’Alma bridge, which is next to the Pont d’Alma tunnel where Princess Diana, Dodi Fayed and their driver Henri Paul died in car crash in August 1997.
Royal fans and social media users branded the clip “bewilderingly tasteless” and questioned how she could be so thoughtless to post a video so close to the site of her late mother-in-law’s death.
One commenter even called it “insensitive beyond belief”.

Despite believing it was a genuine mistake, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told OK that he doubts the incident would have gone down well with Prince Harry.
“I suspect Harry will be horrified and extremely angry, because the video links to the most traumatic period of his life,” the royal expert predicted.
“He would be aghast, because even though it wasn’t intentional, it was a very bad mistake.
“Meghan simply cannot afford to behave like that, because of who she is and the fact she had made herself into a brand.
“Her airily filming part of Paris, while it wasn’t intended to offend anybody and was clearly a mistake, was grossly insensitive and these mistakes hold weight.”

Both Harry and Meghan have not publicly commented on the backlash to Meghan’s controversial Paris post.
However, a source close to the duchess has spoken out branding the comments about Meghan a complete stretch.
“They have chosen, at a complete stretch might I add, to draw the most tenuous, tenuous link between an Instagram post and the death of Harry’s mother,” they told Newsweek.
“That for me is the insensitive bit.”
Meghan’s surprise trip to Paris for the French capital’s famous fashion week also caused a stir as it marked her first trip to mainland Europe in three years.
Prince Harry, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, were nowhere to be seen and appeared to stay at their home in California during her trip.
