Warning Issued to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Against Another Unofficial ‘Royal Tour’
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have been issued a stark warning against going on another unofficial ‘royal tour’ following their recent trip to Nigeria. The couple’s whirlwind 72-hour visit to Nigeria, which came after Harry flew back from the States for the Invictus Games anniversary, has raised concerns about their future travel plans.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams has cautioned against another unofficial tour, stating that it could make the Sussexes “objects of mockery.” While their Nigeria trip was deemed a success, with talks of a potential visit to Ghana in the works, Fitzwilliams emphasized the importance of having a purpose for their travels.
The expert highlighted that the couple’s security in Nigeria was provided by the government and linked to the Invictus Games, which Nigeria participates in. However, Ghana does not have the same ties, and Meghan does not have Ghanaian ancestry, raising questions about the rationale behind another tour.
Fitzwilliams noted that the Sussexes’ decision to step back as senior working royals has changed the dynamics of their public engagements, and embarking on tours without a clear purpose could be seen as meaningless. As the couple continues to work on new projects, including two Netflix shows and Meghan’s brand American Riviera Orchard, the focus remains on the direction of their future endeavors.
As speculation mounts about their next travel destination, the warning against another unofficial tour serves as a reminder of the challenges the Duke and Duchess of Sussex face in navigating their post-royal life. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
