Meghan Markle criticised by Kirstie Allsopp over Wimbledon privacy row

Meghan Markle has been criticised by Kirstie Allsopp after spectators were allegedly banned from taking pictures at Wimbledon.

The Location, Location, Location star offered her thoughts on social media saying: "If you earn money by entertaining, in sport or media, or by being a member of the royal family, photos are part of the deal.

"Not at infomal times with kids, but otherwise it’s 'yes of course', because you’re bloody lucky to have the privileges that come with the jobs & the wages."

One follower suggested there's a "big difference between press photos and an entire crowd at Wimbledon" taking pictures, reports Wales Online.

Kirstie replied: "They can watch it on the TV or come with one friend and sit in more discreet seats. Many, many famous people find a way to do things discreetly, it’s not as hard as all that," she added.

"I’m an enormous royalist, but I do feel that everyone who leads a blessed life partly as a result of the benefits accruing from public profile needs to have a thick skin re photos."

Piers Morgan previously told the Duchess of Sussex to "go back to America" in a rant about the Royal Family's desire for privacy.

The Good Morning Britain host made the comment about Meghan Markle during a debate about the christening of new royal Archie.

On whether the Royals should lead some of their lives in privacy, Piers said Meghan should "go back to America" if she wants to lead a private life.
