Meghan Markle is offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse at her trip to New York City with Prince Harry.
On Monday, October 13, Meghan shared private footage via an Instagram Reel set to the upbeat tune of Dinah Shore’s “If I Were a Bell.” In the video, she and Harry are seen sharing a laugh as they prepared to speak at the World Mental Health Day Festival on Friday, October 10. Harry is also shown barefoot and smiling in his sweatpants as his wife films him.
There are also vignettes of Meghan applying lipstick in front of a mirror; Meghan hugging Gloria Steinem in the legendary activist’s Manhattan apartment; Meghan and Harry posing together at the World Mental Health Day Gala, where both wore black and accepted the Humanitarians of the Year award; the couple laughing with Ed Sheeran during an outing to Soho House; not to mention glamour shots of a rack of clothes, a row of shoes, several slices of pizza and a cookie shaped like a yellow New York taxi.
“Until the next time, NYC – thanks for the memories!” Meghan, 44, captioned the Reel. “(You really know how to charm a gal).”
Earlier Monday, Us Weekly reported that Harry, 41, is upset by criticism that Meghan received during her trip to Paris earlier this month.
Us understands that Harry will always be focused on protecting Meghan and their children against erroneous or ill-intentioned stories that he views as having an agenda.
According to The Daily Mail, Harry was “left hurt and upset” after Meghan was accused of intentionally riding through Paris near the Pont de l’Alma tunnel — the scene of Princess Diana’s 1997 death — with her feet up.
“Diana’s death was used as a stick to beat his wife with,” a source told the outlet in a story published Monday. “[Meghan] did not even pass close to the tunnel. The whole thing is a joke, but not a very funny one for Harry.”
The source noted that Harry “was left feeling hurt, but the depressing thing is he wasn’t even that surprised. He was more despondent than shocked.”
Meghan had been in the City of Lights for Paris Fashion Week, where she attended Pierpaolo Piccioli’s first runway show as creative director of Balenciaga.
Besides supporting big-name luxury designers, the Duchess of Sussex has also championed smaller labels.
“Times where I know there is a global spotlight, and attention will be given to each detail of what I may or may not be wearing, then I support designers that I have really great friendships with,” Meghan told The New York Times last year, also noting that she feels it’s important to wear brands “that haven’t gotten the attention that they should be getting.”
