Yes, really.
Drama, drama, drama.
All Meghan Markle wanted to do was support her friend, Serena Williams, by making a surprise visit to her game at Wimbledon.
And instead, she's been called a "nightmare" for wearing jeans to the match.
Yes, really.
That friend just so happens to be tennis superstar, Serena Williams.
It stemmed from Meghan reportedly asking fans not to take her picture.
She was requesting privacy since she was there in a "private capacity."
A woman named Sally Jones spoke to the Daily Telegraph via the Express about what happened.
"I think this royal protection officer was quite embarrassed," she said about the incident.
Soon after her remarks went viral, Meghan found herself in a media storm.
Some people claim that if Meghan had simply posed for a few photos, this story wouldn't have happened, so it would've been less intrusive into her life in the long run.
In addition to this, she's being dragged on Twitter.
Piers said Meghan should "keep it simple, keep it humble, keep it sincere, keep it public in public," and added that she should "keep her moaning mouth shut" if she wanted respect.
He wrote, "Stop bleating about privacy. If you’re out in public, among the public, you’re a public person. Your ridiculous behavior at Wimbledon this week showed me you haven’t understood that being a royal is very different to being a celebrity."
"To have royal protection officers, that British taxpayers pay for, order people not to take photos as you sit watching the tennis in your free VIP seats with your friends was embarrassing and shameful - not least because neither person was taking photos of you!"
When speaking to "The Times", a British publication, several sources shared their outrage.
They had an issue with the new mom wearing jeans to an All England Club members’ area.
"They couldn’t invite her into the royal box because she was wearing jeans."
"Andy Murray was on Court 1 afterward, and it was a massive faux pas not to watch a Brit when she is signed up to the Royal Family.”
Just call these folks the Fashion Police.
It's not like she was nude or wearing a sign that said: "I hate British people."
It should also be pointed out that Meghan wasn't sitting in the royal box at Wimbledon.
It is in the royal box, though, according to the official Wimbledon website:
"Protocol - dress is smart, suits/jacket and tie, etc. Ladies are asked not to wear hats, as they tend to obscure the vision of those seated behind them."
So go ahead, Meghan, wear those jeans loud and proud.
You're doing amazing, sweetie!
Speaking to W Magazine, the official spokespeople for the club said, "Any suggestion that the duchess’s visit was anything other than a privilege for the club is categorically not the view of the club, and she is always welcome to attend the championships."
The public's opinion on Meghan has been going back and forth like — dare we say it — tennis balls.
She shook a young boy's hand and spoke to multiple people at length while she was there, which is honestly more interaction than I usually have when I leave my house.
She was there in a private capacity, after all, not representing the Royal Family on official business. Just let her support her friend in peace!
