She further incorporated stylish shots of an apparel rack, a line of footwear, multiple pizza slices, and a cookie shaped like a yellow New York taxi cab.
“Until we meet again, NYC – thank you for the wonderful moments!” Meghan, aged 44, wrote in the Reel's caption. “(You truly possess a captivating allure).”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Seldom-Seen Public Appearance in NYC
On Monday, prior to this, Us Weekly disclosed that Harry, 41, was feeling disturbed by the backlash Meghan encountered during her visit to Paris at the start of the month.
Us gathered that Harry's priority remains safeguarding Meghan and their offspring from inaccurate or malicious narratives he perceives as driven by a specific purpose.
The Daily Mail stated that Harry felt “hurt and distressed” following allegations that Meghan deliberately traveled through Paris close to the Pont de l’Alma tunnel — the location of Princess Diana’s passing in 1997 — with her feet raised.
“Diana’s demise was leveraged as a tool to criticize his spouse,” an insider revealed to the publication in an article released Monday. “[Meghan] wasn't even near the tunnel. The entire situation is farcical, yet not amusing for Harry.”
The insider mentioned that Harry “felt wounded, but the disheartening aspect is his lack of surprise. He experienced more despair than astonishment.”

Meghan had previously visited the City of Lights for Paris Fashion Week, where she was present at Pierpaolo Piccioli’s inaugural runway presentation as Balenciaga’s creative director.
Beyond her endorsement of prominent luxury fashion houses, the Duchess of Sussex has also been a vocal advocate for independent and emerging brands.
“During occasions where I am aware of intense global scrutiny, and that every aspect of my attire will be meticulously observed, I choose to support designers with whom I maintain strong personal connections,” Meghan shared with The New York Times last year, adding that she believes it's crucial to don labels “that have not yet received the recognition they deserve.”
