When a woman sat behind Camilla Tominey at Wimbledon 2025 and posted about it on X, it sparked immediate backlash. Judy in da Richmond, a Sussex supporter, identified herself in the post and added that she had been blocked by Tominey for previously calling her out. Tominey responded with a tweet and podcast episode, accusing the woman of being a “vile troll,” shouting drunkenly, and disrupting others in the crowd. She framed the incident as harassment, claiming the photo was taken to “whip up support among fellow Sussex Squadders.”

Coverage like that from The Daily T Podcast described the episode as a case of real-world trolling by Meghan and Harry’s fans. But that framing avoids a critical truth: this was not random harassment. It was a visible, peaceful moment of accountability aimed at a journalist with a long and damaging history of racialized smears and misinformation about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The Long Trail of Racist and Misleading Coverage
Camilla Tominey has spent years fueling harmful narratives around Meghan Sussex. One of her most inflammatory pieces was a 2018 Telegraph article that linked the Hubb Community Kitchen, supported by Meghan after the Grenfell fire, to terrorism. The headline framed the mosque where the women cooked as connected to “19 terror suspects,” with no evidence linking the women themselves to any extremism. That article was later cited by white supremacist David Vance to claim Meghan was associating with terrorists.
In 2019, Tominey published a column criticizing Meghan’s Vogue cover celebrating 15 “Forces for Change.” Meghan chose a majority of women of color. Tominey accused her of excluding white women and wrote, “If I was pale, male and stale, I’d be feeling pretty discriminated against right now.” This quote is one of the clearest examples of her using the language of “reverse racism” to undermine Meghan’s editorial intent.
Tominey has also been central to misinformation campaigns that damaged the couple’s reputation. She wrote the now-debunked “Meghan made Kate cry” story. In Spare, Prince Harry confirms that the opposite happened, and that William may have leaked the false version after dinner with Charles and Camilla. He writes that palace officials refused to correct the lie because it would embarrass Kate, the future queen.
Her Most Famous Story Was Fed by the Palace — and Proven False
Despite mounting evidence, Tominey defended her reporting. She claimed Kensington Palace never denied the story, so she “believed it to be true.” That logic, reporting rumor as fact until proven otherwise, is not journalism. It’s propaganda. Her words were weaponized by tabloids across the world, and when the truth emerged, she did not issue a retraction or an apology. Instead, she continued framing Meghan as calculating and divisive.
The public record shows this was not an isolated case. Her bylines appear on headlines like “How using ‘Lilibet’ became Harry and Meghan’s final insult to Queen Elizabeth” published in The Telegraph, and she was part of a broader effort to cast Meghan’s every move as an affront.
Receipts Resistance and the Real Meaning of Calling Out
The woman who posted the Wimbledon photo did not yell, threaten, or approach Camilla Tominey. She sat several rows behind her, snapped a single photo, and posted it on X with a note: she was a Meghan and Harry fan, and Tominey had previously blocked her. That was the extent of the interaction.
Tominey’s reaction tells a different story. She accused the woman of being drunk, disruptive, and vile. But there was no corroboration from others at the match. Instead, the photo’s virality came from the receipts that accompanied it, years of headlines, quotes, and clips documenting Tominey’s campaign against the Sussexes.
Supporters of Meghan and Harry have long used hashtags like #CamillaTomineyIsALiar to organize those receipts. They collect her contradictory reporting, racist dog whistles, and soft support for far-right commentary.
Why Accountability Makes Power Uncomfortable
Tominey has positioned herself as a journalist under siege. She tells podcast hosts that she’s being persecuted for doing her job. But critics aren’t just calling her names. They are showing her work.
She has inserted herself into the royal narrative, appearing on the Telegraph Magazine cover alongside Meghan and Harry with the headline: “Harry, Meghan, and Me.” She has built a brand out of proximity, then cried foul when critics recognize the pattern.
This isn’t a clash of opinions, it’s a record of behavior. Meghan and Harry’s supporters track patterns, archive headlines, and expose contradictions. Camilla Tominey’s name appears repeatedly because her reporting helped build the playbook.
A Photo Isn’t Harassment, Misinformation Is
Camilla Tominey has made a career out of misrepresenting Meghan Sussex. She has accused her of reverse racism, terrorism by association, narcissism, and social manipulation. When someone quietly sits behind her and takes a photo, that is not harassment. That is a receipt.
Public figures cannot demand privacy in public spaces while publicly defaming others for profit. If a journalist publishes dozens of articles attacking a Black woman, she should expect to be held accountable, especially when the record speaks louder than the photo.
No evidence has emerged that anyone shouted at Camilla Tominey at Wimbledon. But plenty of people are still shouting back with the truth.

She’s lucky it wasn’t me sitting near hear her, I’d have more colourful words to say.
Camilla the liar can’t take accountability for what she has done and said, again a mediocre white woman like her could never know or understand a black person or people of color. Because she’s too busy sitting in her racist white privilege that she doesn’t care.
So much has been written but there is a simple truth, – the joyful royal public performance of Harry and Meghan in particular, at the start of their marriage, was so bright as to prompi Queen Elizabeth to describe Meghan as ‘a breath of fresh air’. However they totally eclipsed weak and envious future King William and sweet but feckless Kate, especially when Meghan was front-paged as ‘the new People’s Princess’ after Diana. This threatened the stability and the succession by undermining the marriage of William, and Kate in particular, who was in danger of fulfilling Queen Camilla’s warning to William not to marry Kate since she was not up to the job due to her working-class background and lack of a culture which cannot be learned. Disastrously for the obscenely wealthy monarchy it was decided talented Meghan’s star had to be dimmed and then eliminated, no matter the cost, and they allegedly created a type of troll farm activity, patronized by the aligned Murdoch royal rota tabloids, to destroy her, much as Hitler did against the Jews and it has continued relentlessly ever since. Even James Murdoch described such Murdoch-inspired evil press commentary as, at its worst, metastasizing into something nasty and scary and manipulative and said he had underestimated the ability of a profit motive to make people do terrible things, to make companies do terrible things. Contrbutors then, such as Tominey must harbor a hate that transcends normality and is the mark of someone whose work shines no light without it.
Beautifully put. Thank you.
Very kind. Thank you.
Get over yourself you ego inflated twit.
The reporter woman is poison. The Sussexes are fools. Their star power has dimmed and only have themselves to blame for their downfall.
Rudeness is a weak person trying to look and sound strong and that describes this reply. Knowledge is a powerful tool against hate. Try to learn about different cultures and viewpoints. and your views might become more relevant to others.
