Meghan Markle calls paparazzi before public outing for a publicity stunt?

Meghan Markle was recently spotted in a cosy outing as she shopped at a local farmer’s market in which she seemed relaxed and at one point even acknowledged the camera.

Following the outing, body language expert Judi James claimed that the Duchess of Sussex “shops as though she’s still taking part in a Netflix series.”

She also noted that she “acknowledge the camera with a smile, rather than ducking out of sight” unlike Prince Harry who always seems to conceal his identity.

However, a photographer, Jill Ishkanian, who was present during Meghan’s Friday outing told Newsweek that she has never been contacted by the former Suits actress for coverage.

“She absolutely does not,” Ishkanian told the outlet. “No one calls me, trust me. I have absolutely no support, I do everything by myself. It's a total pain in the butt when you get their picture to be totally honest.”

Ishkanian’s images of Meghan were recently published in the Daily Mail. The photographer revealed that she was actually taking a picture of singer Katy Perry’s father.

She came face to face with the bodyguard who was actually Meghan’s. “This was Meghan’s bodyguard that I was talking to. I come up and I see Katy Perry’s dad and I look and there’s a woman who looks like Meghan Markle standing next to him,” she recalled.

“I start taking pictures and here comes the blue shirt guy, big guy, and I realise that’s her bodyguard and absolutely that’s her.”

Previously the outlet reported that Harry and Meghan do not cooperate with photographers on specific pictures.
