It was apparent several members of the public were displeased with this act with many of them taking to social media to show their displeasure.

Among them was American actress, Tatum O’Neal. While speaking to Good Morning Britain Tuesday, she said:

“If you think of Princess Diana, and how absolutely inclusive she was, and she would never turn anyone away. I had so much hope for Meghan - I wanted her to be the next Princess Diana.”

Tatum disclosed that she was disappointed in Meghan and called for her to live like a royal and not like an actress.

"To have a bodyguard to muscle somebody out, I just think it's so tacky."

Tatum, 55, also compared Meghan to her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. According to her, Kate understands what it means to be a royal, unlike new mom, Meghan.

"If you want to be private, go back to America and live privately, it’s pretty straight forward.”
