Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s upcoming trip to Nigeria this month could backfire as the British public “sees through” their plans, claims a royal author.
Speaking to Sky News Australia, royal author, Phil Dampier thinks Harry and Meghan are doing more harm than good with their visit to Africa by confusing the public.
He explains: “It’s ironic that the late Queen wanted Harry and Meghan to very much be her ambassadors throughout the Commonwealth and spread goodwill among its fifty or so nations, but they didn’t want to do it as royals.”
The royal expert added: “They are in effect trying to set up a rival court, their own royal roadshow, and I think people can see through it.”
The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has revealed that the Sussexes will be heading to Nigeria in May. During their visit, they will meet with Service members and participate in a range of cultural activities.
