A videographer who worked with Meghan Markle on a photoshoot before she became a royal has revealed the duchess was obsessed with keeping her feet hidden.
But when you have as many photographers on you as the Duchess of Sussex does, that's not always possible.
In particular, a photo takenduring Markle's time on her Royal Tour of New Zealand put the duchess' feet in the spotlight and had eagle-eyed fans questioning if the Hollywood-actress-turned-royal had undergone a bunion removal operation.

According to a videographer, who spoke to the Daily Mail on condition of anonymity, it quickly became apparent during a photoshoot for a now defunct fashion and beauty site that Markle "hates her feet".
While he says Markle's entourage imposed many rules, there was one in particular that raised eyebrows among the videographer's team: no one was to shoot her feet.
"He told me that at a certain point he started to shoot her feet, just taking some b-roll [supplemental footage] and I don't remember if they had told me in advance or not, but I understand she hates her feet.
"When he did that, they all looked at him like 'what the hell are you doing?' and said, 'you're done for today'."
The videographer says he told the photographer not to worry and that it was probably "the last time we will see her". But when he later learned she had started dating Prince Harry he was surprised.
