Eugenie Bouchard baffled Prince Harry and Meghan Markle couldn't fly on Air Force One after Queen's Funeral

Eugenie Bouchard expressed her disbelief that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not allowed to board Air Force One.

The 29-year-old tennis player used her social media to comment on the news about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who live in California and were returning from Queen Elizabeth's funeral.

According to a report by Page Six, they had requested to join President Joe Biden on Air Force One for their return to the United States, but the White House denied their request. Eugenie Bouchard shared a screenshot of the news on her Instagram stories and shared her opinion on the matter.

Eugenie Bouchard recently played in the Wimbledon qualifying rounds but was eliminated in the first round by the 13th seed Greet Minnen, bringing an end to her grass court season. The Canadian caused a surprise in 2014 and reached the final at the All England Club, but she was defeated by the Czech Petra Kvitova with an overwhelming score of 6-3, 6-0.

The former world No. 5 also participated in the Grass Court Championships Berlin qualifying, where she secured a victory in the first round against the 5th seed Kimberly Birrel with a score of 7-5, 3-6, 6-4. However, she was eliminated in the second round by Vera Zvonarieva, which prevented her from entering the main draw.

Despite this, the Canadian player currently holds her best WTA ranking since October 2021. Bouchard is now ranked 214th in the standings, and the last time she was ranked higher (as world No. 173) was at the beginning of October.

Her next challenge will be at the Canadian Open. There was a possibility that Bouchard could receive a wild card to play in the main draw of the tournament, but the organization opted for local players Leylah Fernandez, Bianca Andreescu, and Rebecca Marino, in addition to Venus Williams and the return of Caroline Wozniacki.
