Journalist wrongly agrees on Meghan Markle's "confidential privacy claims"

Meghan Markle went alongside two of her friends to watch girlfriend Serena Williams play at the Wimbledon tennis tournament last week – an outing that caused some bad publicity at the royal.

During the match, members of the Duchess of Sussex's security team provoked a tiff by asking other spectators not to take a picture of her, or even to walk towards her.

Sally Jones, a former BBC journalist who was at the match, was among the people to whom the request was made. In an article Jones wrote for The Telegraph, she stated that a member of Markle's security team had struck her on the shoulder and had said, "Would not you take you no picture of the duchess? She is here privately. "

Jones was particularly upset because, she said, she was taking a picture of Williams – not the Duchess. The incident led Jones to criticize Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry.

"Nothing surprising that there is a growing wave of resentment towards the Sussex for their secretive attitude demanding a lot of maintenance and their divine demands for privacy when it suits them, "despite Frogmore Cottage's tax-funded and extremely expensive redevelopment of the cottage," wrote referring to the couple's new home.

She added that it was "irrational" to try to enforce a non-photo request "when they appear in a very public arena, amid a major press kit." and thousands of spectators ".

The "no-photos" petition also moved Piers Morgan, who said on Tuesday on his TV show "Good Morning Britain" that the royal family was "an audience".

"If you want to stay private, go back to America and live privately. It's pretty simple, "he said, calling the incident" an absolute joke. "

"If you go to Wimbledon with your free tickets to the Royal Box – the best seats in the house for nothing, and you take your two [besties] … at that time, you are public people, "he said.

Royal family members do not usually take photos with supporters during public engagements, and they are generally afraid to be selfies that would appeal to worshipers. Royal photographers also rely on some photographers to capture private moments – such as the engagement of Meghan and Harry and the recent baptism of their baby, Archie – with snapshots that are then made public.

So, unlike a "diva-like behavior," Meghan and her team at Wimbledon were probably trying to maintain the royal family's tradition, as well as guard against a crowd scene that would divert from the tennis match.
