Meghan Markle, without her husband Prince Harry, caused quite a stir when she was recently seen at a farmer’s market in California.

The Duchess of Sussex, accompanied by her security team, decided to bring along one of her beloved pet beagles.

While Meghan often tries to portray herself as caring and compassionate through staged photos with her dogs, her actions at the market have raised concerns about her lack of empathy for others.

The issue at hand is that Meghan’s decision to bring her dog to the market goes against its explicit policy, which strictly prohibits dogs, except for recognized service animals.

Despite a sign clearly stating “no dogs allowed” at the Montecito market, Meghan Markle was photographed with her pet, suggesting that she disregarded the rule.

Curiosity about the market’s dog-friendly policy led someone to inquire on its Yelp page.

The response clarified that only service animals were permitted, as indicated by signs at every entrance.

It seems that Meghan either missed or chose to ignore these signs during her visit.

During her time at the market, Meghan was spotted exploring the flower section while sporting a collared shirt and a maxi dress.

In an exclusive photo published by a particular media outlet, she appeared to notice the paparazzi and decided to purchase a bunch of pink flowers.

However, locals have grown tired of her constant attention-seeking behavior.

Bringing a dog to a market where they are prohibited raises concerns for vendors who need to protect their goods from potential damage and theft caused by dogs.

Witnesses even reported that Meghan’s dog urinated on a plant at a flower stall, despite the shop owner suggesting she should purchase it.

Shockingly, Meghan declined the offer and left without compensating for any damages caused.

As she walked away from the scene, a video captured a large dump truck passing by while tumbleweeds drifted into the distance, adding a touch of irony to the situation.

Market management has been alerted and is expected to address the incident promptly.

It’s important to note that dogs are prohibited from farmers’ markets due to health codes, making Meghan’s actions not just a breach of rules, but also a violation of the law.

California Health and Safety Code 11425 9.5 clearly states this regulation, with the only exception being service dogs.

Misrepresenting a pet as a service dog is considered a misdemeanor under California Penal Code 3657.

As a service dog handler, I find Meghan’s actions infuriating.

People with disabilities already face challenges when it comes to accessibility, and individuals who disregard rules and laws only make matters worse.

This incident not only highlights Meghan’s disregard for rules but also her disrespect towards people with disabilities who rely on service animals for assistance.

It is unfortunate that Meghan’s poor dog has to be associated with her in public, especially since she did not adhere to the market’s no dogs allowed policy.

However, it cannot be denied that the beagle is undeniably adorable, which may somewhat lessen the annoyance caused by Meghan’s presence.

Nevertheless, it raises the question of why only one of her three dogs was taken for a walk, as all dogs require exercise.
