Wimbledon fan brands Meghan Markle ‘bonkers’ as she’s ‘told not to take photographs of the duchess’

Meghan Markle delighted fans last week when she made an unannounced trip to Wimbledon to watch her friend Serena Williams play.

The Duchess of Sussex was spotted in the stands with two friends as she cheered her pal to victory on the fourth day of the championships.

Wearing jeans, a black top and a white blazer, smiling Meghan looked picture perfect as she sat alongside pals Genevieve Hillis and Lindsay Roth.

However, it has now emerged that the royal’s fellow spectators were instructed not to take pictures of the new mum – who was sporting a cute ‘A’ necklace in tribute to son Archie.

PR consultant Sally Jones was seated in the same row as Meghan but claims she didn’t even know Meghan was there when she took a picture of Serena in action on court.

Until, that is, one of the duchess’s royal protection officers asked her to stop taking photos of the mum of one.

Sally told the Telegraph the bodyguard said: “Would you not take photographs of the duchess. She’s here in a private capacity.”

This comes in spite of the fact the match – and Meghan – could be seen live on the BBC.

Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan also waded into the row with his one-time friend Meghan.

He told viewers: “A private capacity, at Wimbledon, as the Duchess of Sussex. This is so ridiculous, this obsession that her and Harry have about privacy.”

Piers added: “It’s rankly hypocritical and they’re not private people, they’re the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. We get to pay for their mansion, we get to do all of this.”

This morning, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was christened in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle at an intimate service officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are so happy to share the joy of this day with members of the public who have been incredibly supportive since the birth of their son. They thank you for your kindness in welcoming their first born and celebrating this special moment. Their Royal Highnesses feel fortunate to have enjoyed this day with family and the godparents of Archie. Their son, Archie, was baptised wearing the handmade replica of the royal christening gown which has been worn by royal infants for the last 11 years. The original Royal Christening Robe, made of fine Honiton lace lined with white satin, was commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1841 and first worn by her eldest daughter. It was subsequently worn for generations of Royal christenings, including The Queen, her children and her grandchildren until 2004, when The Queen commissioned this handmade replica, in order for the fragile historic outfit to be preserved, and for the tradition to continue.

Piers also tweeted his followers calling the duchess’s actions “absurd”.

It’s absurd for Ms Markle to demand privacy as she sits in the royal box on a publicly-funded jolly with her mates… https://t.co/vcaymV3dyt

Sally added: “I told him it was bonkers and that even if I had been trying to snap the duchess, I’d have got a blurry picture of her right ear.”

She continued: “Apart from anything else, there were hundreds of people clicking away. I said to him: ‘Have you thought about having a word with any of those television cameras?’ He looked a little uncomfortable.”

The latest privacy request comes after Meghan and Prince Harry decided to keep their son Archie’s christening private last weekend.
