Prince Harry is said to be “extremely angry” and “horrified” over what his wife, Meghan Markle, has done. The Duchess was recently visiting Paris; however, an innocent Instagram video of her riding in a car at night took a harrowing turn. She didn’t ride past just any other bridge – but filmed the Pont de l’Alma Bridge, which leads to the tunnel where Princess Diana died.
Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, had to go through the unimaginable tragedy of losing their mother. Princess Diana died in August 1997 when the car she and her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, crashed in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel, killing both the driver and the couple.
The Pont de I’Alma tunnel, morbidly, became a tourist attraction and a place for fans to mourn and remember her. In 2007, Harry decided to visit the tunnel and drive the route his mother had taken that night in 1997.
The Duke had been invited to Paris to attend the Ruby World Cup semi-final, and on his first night in the French capital, he asked the driver to take him to the tunnel.
Harry asked to drive 65 miles per hour, “the exact speed Mummy’s car had supposedly been driving, according to police, at the time of the crash.”
“Off we went, weaving through traffic, cruising past the Ritz, where Mummy had her last meal, with her boyfriend, that August night. Then we came to the mouth of the tunnel. We zipped ahead, went over the lip at the tunnel’s entrance, the bump that supposedly sent Mummy’s Mercedes veering off course,” Harry recalled in his book.

“But the lip was nothing. We barely felt it. As the car entered the tunnel I leaned forward, watched the light change to a kind of water orange, watched the concrete pillars flicker past. I counted them, counted my heartbeats, and in a few seconds we emerged from the other side.”
