- UK. Prince William spotted taking a gin shot during rare t appearance with Duchess Sophie
- UK. Kate Middleton's habit that King Charles and Camilla mocked and that she had to learn to correct
In a social media blunder that has ignited royal gossip circles, India Hicks - goddaughter of King Charles and former bridesmaid to Princess Diana - has found herself at the center of controversy after deleting a video of Hollywood actress Brooke Shields criticizing Meghan Markle.
The footage, posted on Hicks' Instagram , was quickly taken down after it began to gain traction, leaving followers and media observers questioning the motivations behind the sudden deletion.
The clip in question featured Shields giving a candid interview in which she suggested Meghan Markle has leaned too heavily on her royal title and publicized victimhood.
While Shields didn't mention Meghan by name, her comments were unmistakably directed at the Duchess of Sussex, drawing attention to what she perceived as a pattern of self-promotion and complaints since Meghan stepped back from royal duties with Prince Harry in 2020.
India Hicks, known for her aristocratic heritage and close ties to the British royal family, originally ed the video to her Instagram stories, tagging the interview and seemingly endorsing its contents.
However, within hours, the post had vanished - sparking speculation of behind-the-scenes pressure or second thoughts.
Online reaction raises eyebrows
The removal has only served to heighten curiosity, with many social media s questioning why Hicks would share such a post in the first place if she didn't stand by it. Critics have accused her of either courting controversy or backpedaling to avoid royal embarrassment.
Some commenters also highlighted the awkward position Hicks is in: straddling a world of inherited royal ties and a public platform that demands transparency.
Brooke Shields has not commented further on the matter, and Hicks has made no public explanation for deleting the video.
Nevertheless, the incident adds fuel to the ongoing narrative of tension surrounding Meghan Markle, whose public image continues to divide opinion both inside and outside royal circles.
