Meghan Markle provokes negative reactions after an alleged request for confidentiality at Wimbledon

Meghan Markle is in shock after making a surprise appearance at Wimbledon last week to support her friend, tennis pro Serena Williams.

Media consultant Sally Jones, sitting in the same row as Markle, told the Daily Telegraph and the UK's Daily Mail on Tuesday that the Duchess of Sussex's team had asked her not to take a photo of the former American actress. The 64-year-old allegedly claimed that a Royal Protection Officer told her that Markle is "here in a private capacity". Jones also claimed that she was simply trying to photograph Williams and not the Duchess.

"There were about 200 photographers reprimanding him, but security was sent to warn an old call for tenders like me," Jones said. "It makes them ridiculous. It's childish and takes us for fools. "

"I felt that patting on my shoulder and I was asked not to take a photo of the Duchess – but I did not know she was there until then," Jones said. to the Daily Mail. "I was totally amazed … I told him it was crazy and that even if I had tried to take the duchess in pictures, I would have had a blurred image of her right ear. I told him, "Did you think about talking to one of those TV cameras?" He looked a little uncomfortable. "

"There is now a clear sense that [Prince] Harry, Meghan and their team see themselves more as prominent celebrities than as members of royalty in the performance of their duties, "Jones continued. "Their desire to control things contrasts sharply with the Cambridges, which make a lot more sense. Kate [Middleton] was in Wimbledon two days earlier and acted completely differently. I am a royalist, but everyone is tired of approaching Harry and Meghan. "

Kensington Palace did not immediately respond to Fox News's request for comment. However, a royal source told Fox News: "It is not unusual for people accompanying members of the Royal Family during private or public engagements to ask members of the public not to take photos. This will allow members of the royal family to engage properly with people and events. "

MEGHAN MARKLE HAS THE HONOR OF BABY ARCHIE

Nevertheless, that did not stop Piers Morgan, who has already criticized Markle as a new member of the British royal family, from intervening in "Good Morning Britain".

"Private capacity, in Wimbledon? It's so ridiculous, "said the 54-year-old. "It's frankly hypocritical, and they're not private people, it's the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. If you want to stay private, go back to America and live privately.

Many viewers quickly went on Twitter and accused Morgan of targeting Markle because of his race.

"Go to America" ​​Piers begins to show his true racist colors, "tweeted a user." Finally, I check that Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex have the right to keep their privacy, as well as their son. how you and the media treated the late Diana allows us all to understand why they want things to remain confidential. "

"It's more than that," says another. "Piers, stalker Morgan, is angry because a woman pays no attention to him. He behaves like a despised lover.

"For the sake of God, give yourself some rest," added a user. "I'm fed up with the constant beating! Did you perhaps consider that it was Harry's choice! Or in heaven, plan a common choice. Given the family history of intrusion, I am not surprised that they want to limit their exposure. "

Markle's and her husband's quest for privacy has become a controversial topic in recent months, following the birth of their son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, in May of this year.

The proud parents held a private baptism on Saturday for their only child and did not reveal who the two-month godparents are. However, they published two photos of the intimate ceremony.

MEGHAN MARKLE HAS NOT SUBLIED SNUB TRUMP, SAID ROYAL SOURCE

"I think the level of protection will be insufficient," the royal filmmaker told Fox News. "If you look at how William and Kate were so protective of their children, the British press in particular kept a reasonable distance between George, Charlotte and Louis. I think Harry will be even more protective. I think the bottom line is that these people did not land on the steps of the hospital. From the first day, he made a statement saying, "This baby belongs to us, it is private and this baby will be shown to you on our terms."

According to Bullen, one can expect Harry, who has a cautious relationship with the British press after the death of his mother in 1997 at the age of 36, to become even more protective of his mother and child.

"Harry is going to take care of Meghan, protect her," Bullen explained. "If she wants things, if she needs them, he'll get there. Partly because he feels that this has not been the case with Diana. But also, he is unsurprisingly madly in love with this woman. He wants to make sure that everything she wants will have.
