Apparently, there is a growing tide of resentment against Harry and Meghan due to what royalists are calling their “secretive, high maintenance attitude”.

Let’s break it down before moving on to what happened at Wimbledon.

Meghan and Harry have been keeping their infant son, Archie, away from the press and public. His birth happened in secret, and they’ve also kept his godparents’ identity a secret.

These are examples of how the Duke and Duchess are attempting to maintain their privacy and protect their spawn.

Moving on to The Telegraph for more on what happened at Wimbledon. Here’s self-described “committed monarchist” Sally Jones:

Watching Serena Williams in action on Court 1 at Wimbledon, I was happily snapping shots of the superstar American powering down huge serves when I felt a tap on my shoulder.

“Would you not take photographs of the Duchess,” a voice ordered politely. “She’s here in a private capacity.” The man, evidently a royal protection officer with his suspiciously bulgy blazer and highly-polished shoes, jerked his head to my right.

I looked round. Scores of spectators had turned away from the court and were busy photographing a group of young women further along my row on their smartphones. Beneath a broad sunhat, I spotted a watchful, giggling face – Meghan Markle.

No wonder the smartphones were out in their droves, just as they had been two days earlier when the Duchess of Cambridge arrived in the same section of the court with her entourage.

That time too, despite snapping shots of the players, I had not photographed the Duchess, but there had been no tap on the shoulder. Kate had calmly watched the tennis, ignoring the thousands thrilled to take her picture to post on Facebook and show their friends, no doubt well used to the attention after years in the spotlight.

According to Jones, this is evidence of why people are so upset with Meghan.

No wonder there is a growing tide of resentment against the Sussexes for their secretive, high maintenance attitude and diva-ish demands for privacy when it suits them – despite the eye-wateringly expensive, taxpayer-funded refit of Frogmore Cottage.

Okay, sure, the public funds a certain standard of living for the royals. Maybe the public should have been more proactive with that revolution between 1642 and 1660.

It’s not too late, guys.

Jones finished off as follows:

It is time Harry and Meghan’s advisers held a long-overdue, honest conversation with them on humility, duty and the deep divide between royalty and celebrity before they forfeit all the goodwill built up throughout their fairytale wedding – and the love and respect of archetypal Middle England monarchists like me.

The British public act as if they own the royal family – and to some degree, I suppose they do. That said, let’s do a thought experiment.

Imagine if the people you employed at your company started showing up at your house demanding the right to know everything about you or take pictures of you and your children.

It would be a bit weird.

Then again, the obsession with the royal family is already a bit weird, so I guess this weird possessiveness is normal?
