Strong criticism of Meghan Markle for her "diva" attitudes during a tennis match at Wimbledon
Brits are increasingly annoyed by Meghan Markle's "Hollywood diva" attitudes. After the secrecy surrounding the baptism of her son Archie Harrison, Prince Harry's wife is once again the target of criticism for behaving more like a celebrity than a member of the British crown.
During her time at Wimbledon, the 37-year-old former American actress paid a surprise visit to Serena Williams accompanied by her friends Genevieve Hillis and Lindsay Roth, who could be among Archie's secret godmothers, and had unusual requirements.
During her participation in the tennis tournament, the former actress' security and press team tried to prevent the public who was watching the match from photographing her.
British personality Sally Jones, 64, who was sitting in the same row as the Duchess of Sussex during the game, recounted that she and the rest of the public were ordered not to take pictures as Markle was there. " privately ", although there were 12,000 people in the stadium and millions of people watching the game on television.
"Harry and Meghan portray themselves more as celebrities than royalty. These attitudes make them look silly and childish," said Jones, who was previously a sports anchor for the BBC and ITV. A royal protection officer tapped her on the shoulder and said, "You are not taking pictures of the Duchess? She is here privately."
Jones expressed his outrage on Telegraph: "I told security that it was crazy and that even if I tried to photograph the Duchess, I would have a blurry image of her right ear. There were hundreds of people with their cameras. So I told him : 'Have you thought about talking to any of those television cameras?' I found it all a bit awkward. "
Behind the Duchess of Sussex were her personal assistant and a Buckingham Palace press officer, as well as several security guards.
Markle, wearing a hat and white jacket, was seen laughing and clapping as she watched Williams secure her spot in the third round of the championship.
Jones said that Meghan's bodyguard seemed "embarrassed" when she replied that she was actually taking a photo of Serena Williams and explained that she had not been aware of the duchess's presence until he told her she was there.
A bystander tried to take a selfie but was stopped by Markle's bodyguard. The fact was recorded by one of the many cameras located in the court.
Famous presenter Piers Morgan was annoyed with Markle's attitude. On his show he told the audience: "A private visit at Wimbledon? This is so ridiculous. It is hypocritical and they are not private people, they are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex."
In contrast, Kate Middleton, who is an honorary member and patron of the prestigious club, was happy to sit in the crowd.

Second baby "Sussex" on the way?
They may have only welcomed their son Archie more than eight weeks ago, but Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may already be thinking about the second baby.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, actual author Katie Nicholl claimed that the couple might be planning to give Archie a brother as early as next year.
On whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will have another child soon, Nicholl said: "I think it's probably a little premature to talk about a second baby. That said, sources close to the couple told me that they would really love to have a great family. ".
Describing the couple as "amazing parents," the expert added: "They absolutely want siblings for Archie, so we will possibly have a pregnancy announcement for Meghan and Harry next year. But for the moment, the focus is obviously on Archie. ".
On Saturday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex celebrated their son's baptism in an intimate ceremony in Windsor. They did not allow the public to take part in the event and refused to reveal the names of the boy's godparents.
The decision not to allow access to the press caused anger and controversy in the UK due to the recent revelation that the couple's home, Frogmore Cottage, was renovated for $ 2.06 million (£ 2.4 million). ) of taxpayers' money.
