Members at the super posh Hurlingham Club in Fulham, London, have complained about two-year-old Princess Charlotte being given use of their facilities. Dating back to the club is billed as


being among “England’s greatest private members’ clubs.” And Princess Charlotte's parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are not believed to be members. For ordinary people access


would then be denied, unless they are being vouched for by a member, but reports claim an exception is being made for the tennis-loving tot. A source told The Sun a right royal racket is


being made about the club allowing the little princess to play.  The source said: “Unfortunately some patrons feel Charlotte shouldn’t be allowed to play there. Club rules are usually very


rigid, and they don’t see why exceptions should be made, even if they happen to be royal.” However, those who have seen Princes Charlotte at the club have insisted she could be a star in the


making. A source told The Sun: “Kate and William decided the Hurlingham was the perfect place for Charlotte to start. “She might not be three until May but they were convinced she’d love it


and so far she has.She seems a bit of a natural.” Princess Charlotte appears to be following in her mother's footsteps with Kate known to be a huge tennis fan.  Kate, her sister Pippa


and mother Carole Middleton are regularly spotted at Wimbledon during the Championships.  The Fulham-based club is set in 42 acres and has more than 40 tennis courts, ten croquet lawns and


areas for cricket and bowls. The Princess’s lessons has also meant an increase in security at the club.  The Royals have been in under the media spotlight this week after Meghan Markle and


Prince Harry’s engagement was announced. Their first Royal visit as a couple saw people in Nottingham gushing over the US actress.
