Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's trip to Nigeria has sent a “bold” message to King Charles and Prince William
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent trip to Nigeria has reportedly sent signals to King Charles that the duo “refuse to accept” that they are no longer working royals.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently took a three-day trip to Nigeria after being invited by the country's Chief of Defense. They visited schools, hospitals and promoted the Invictus Games.
Now, royal author Tom Quinn says the visit was apparently “a bold statement that they refuse to accept that they are no longer working royals.”
“When you look at what Harry and Meghan did on their visit to Nigeria, it's easy to see why the royals are concerned. Everything you would expect from an official royal visit was there: the receptions, the visits to schools and organizations charities, wounded soldiers and the disabled,” he explained to Mirror.
He said King Charles and Prince William were left “scratching their heads” trying to figure out how to “get this nightmarish situation under control.”
“Meghan and Harry's speeches and their entire attitude have been designed to give the impression that they are still fully paid-up royals and William and his father, King Charles, don't like it at all. For Charles and William, it's like “if Meghan and Harry are saying, 'We don't need your permission to work as royals; we'll do it on our own terms whenever and wherever we want,'” he said.
