Meghan Markle once made headlines for closing her own car door, but now she's been banned from doing so.
Royal watchers praised the "down-to-earth" gesture when the Duchess closed her own door at her visit to London's Royal Academy of Arts in September.
But the next month when she visited Auckland, the door remained open - for good reason.
According to The Sun, royal protection police have warned Markle to stop closing car doors in light of extremist attack threats.
Vehicles used by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on official duties have self-locking doors and officials fear she would not be able to get back inside to safety should something happen.
