Revealed: How tennis fans were ordered not to take pictures of Meghan at Wimbledon [tr]

Meghan Markle was branded 'childish' and a 'control freak' today after it emerged her security team warned tennis fans against taking pictures of her at Wimbledon - including one mystified VIP who had no idea the royal was in the crowd.

The former Suits star, 37, made a surprise visit to Court 1 on Thursday to watch Serena Williams accompanied by her old friends Genevieve Hillis and Lindsay Roth, who could be among Archie's secret godparents.

Sally Jones, 64, was seated in the same row as the Duchess of Sussex and during the match was ordered not to take photographs in her direction because the royal was there 'in a private capacity' - even though there were 12,000 people in Court 1 and millions watching on TV.

The shocked PR consultant from Warwickshire, who worked as a sports broadcaster for the BBC and ITV for decades, said Meghan's bodyguard looked 'embarrassed' when she told him she was actually taking a picture of Serena and revealed she hadn't spotted Meghan until he pointed her out.

As I stated many times, that is what you get for bringing in a D list actress divorcee into a royal family.

Low IQ liberals (but I repeat myself) are all the same.

Well said. Like Trump said, the only thing impressive about the British is their Queen.

Royalty is insane, childish for a nation, and deserves zero respect.

Meghan done pretty good in hers, too. Now, it’s Kamala’s shot at the title.

Hopefully we still have freedom of the press in the US.

I’m against harassment by paparazzi and intrusive spy type photos, but I think if you’re out in public, you’re fair game.

Or maybe this is one of those cases where someone protests because they are not getting enough attention?

She may just be a B-list Royal, but she thinks she is the Queen.

“but at least the latter is excellent in her field.”

Just so you know, Queen Excellent Serena was just fined $10,000.00 for unsportsmanlike conduct by damaging a Wimbledon Court with her racket, during a PRACTICE session. Interestingly, she did this once before at Wimbledon in 2016 during a second round match, destroyed a court and was fined the same amount.

I thought MeAgain was pretty hot in the series “Suits”.

That train of thought has long since derailed.

I was talking about her tennis record. Yes she is a prima donna but she has a record to fall back on. I don’t support her professional conduct but the achievement record is the record. The other is a low level actress, lefty and SJW.

Ignore this royal entertainment spectacle. Her 15 minutes are over and done.

Is Wimbledon private?

If so, I would think they can restrict photography and way they see fit.

Optics are lousy, though. But then the royals don’t breed them for brains.
