It's quite something that the Scotland Yard ushered Meghan in the arena, stayed near her at all times and ushered her out.
To be fair, no-one saw her enter. An AP journo happened to bring binoculars and spotted her at 8:15, but she'd been there for at least 8 minutes, since the first tweeted picture that included her was at 8:07.
The first photo that includes a protection officer was at 8:22, and the Royal Central journo claims that he was only there once it got out on Twitter.
So it's unclear that they escorted her in or that they were there from the moment she entered.
OTOH, with only 7 minutes from the first twitter spotting to the first photographic evidence of a protection officer, I'm not sure that the RC reporter is correct.
The AP journo who first spotted her mentioned that the RPO stepped in to prevent at least one fan from taking her picture. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...c70b6f98089_story.html?utm_term=.079005394657)
