When is someone (ideally it should be her husband) finally going to stand up to this woman and say “No!”? https:/

That Piers Morgan thinks he can advise (lecture more like!) anyone on how to be popular is an irony that is bottomless.
But of course, his piece is not aimed at her - and she is highly unlikely to waste time reading it - it's for the benefit of the public who don't like the perception of the Duchess (which I maintain, is probably very different from the reality) and like to feel their negative views are justified.
What Mr Morgan fails to point out, is that virtually every aspect of the behaviour he criticises is absolutely beyond the control of the Duchess, or her husband.
Every second of their public life is controlled organised and directed by others, and they have virtually no say in how and where they are transported, or what will happen when they arrive.
In the same way that a nonsensical furore was built up about 'Megan refusing to have her picture taken at Wimbledon' - it ignored the fact that she did not ask anyone not to take her photograph, her protection officer did, probably under instructions.
If we are going to attack the Duchess, continually baited and directed as we are by the media, then we should have a realistic look at exactly how much of what she is doing is actually being done with her consent and agreement.
That should take about ninety-five per cent of the flack away!

ag - // //then we should have a realistic look at exactly how much of what she is doing is actually being done with her consent and agreement. //
I see that quite a few mothers out there were aghast at how she was carrying Archie at one point.
She could easily have dropped him you know! //
The difference between The Duchess and every other inexperienced young mother is that they don't have cameras pointed at them every second waiting for just that one shot that makes her look like she can't hold her baby properly.
The press do this all the time - count how many times the Williams sisters are frozen in time just as they strike a tennis ball. The contraction of their biceps at the moment of strike makes them look like they have muscles that Arnold Schwarzenegger would die for - and there is often a snide comment about their 'lack of femininity' to go with it.
The Duchess's baby may have wriggled, she may have lost her grip for a moment, but how many young mums do that? It doesn't mean they drop their baby, or even come close - but with the right judicial moment frozen on film, you can make them look like that.
So she is a little awkward with her new baby, perhaps having little of no experience of holding babies before - who isn't? But we all learn and grow in confidence - without the world waiting to pass judgement on us thanks to any intrusive media - yet again.

The camera doesn't lie - but the caption put with it very often does.
Yes the Duchess experienced an awkward moment with her baby - show me any first-time mum that early on who doesn't - but 'close to dropping him'? I seriously doubt it!
For the record, my youngest daughter was the first baby I ever dealt with for more than a few seconds, and when she was a few days old, and I was looking after her, I did drop her. I caught her before she hit the ground, but for about a second, she was free-falling. I recall the horror I felt easily now, thirty years later, and I am grateful that no cameraman was there to capture the moment!

AH is correct. It was her protection officer who asked the person not to take Meghan 's photo. He must have thought that the man who was seated in the row directly in front of Meghan was standing up and pointing his camera directly at her. In fact the man was taking a selfie of himself and the court behind him to send to his wife. The pic.on his phone clearly showed this to be the case. I don't think the man even knew who Meghan was.

In contrast to the whipped-up media nonsense of 'diva behaviour' - I doubt the Duchess would have minded for a moment if the gentleman was taking her picture - let's not forget, prior to marrying Harry, she was in seven series of one of the most popular dramas on American TV, I hardly think it's the first time a stranger has taken her picture when she is out with friends!
