Meghan Markle stepped out alongside two of her friends to watch pal Serena Williams play at the Wimbledon tennis tournament last week an outing that caused a bit of bad publicity for the royal.

During the match, the security detail for the Duchess of Sussex caused a tiff by asking other spectators not to take photos of her, or even photos in her direction.

Sally Jones, a former BBC reporter who was at the match, was among those approached with the request. In an article Jones wrote for The Telegraph, she said a member of Markles security team tapped her on the shoulder and said, Would you not take photographs of the duchess? Shes here in a private capacity.

Jones was especially upset because, she said, she was actually snapping a photo of Williams not the duchess. The incident caused Jones to criticize both Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry .
