Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may be unable to visit a key location on a tour later this year, as a Royal commentator accuses then of a ‘direct contradiction’
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been accused of a “direct contradiction” of their previous obsession with their privacy, a Royal commentator has said.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex may find themselves unable to visit Australia during their global tour, it is claimed, despite the resounding “success” of their recent trip to Nigeria.
Royal correspondent Louise Roberts suggests that the couple, who stepped down as senior royals in 2020, are ready for a “world tour'” following their successful Nigerian sojourn, but she has criticised them for their previous demands for “privacy”.
Speaking to Sky News Australia, she said: “In May, after Nigeria, and that was a successful faux royal tour for them, let’s face it, Harry made the comment they want to do more of this.”
On the channel’s Royal Report, Louise added: “(Harry and Meghan) are obsessed with privacy but a world tour is a direct contradiction,” reports the Mirror.
The reporter also revealed that the Sussexes are ‘unable to travel to Australia’ in the near future due to a potential clash with King Charles and Queen Camilla’s forthcoming tour of the country in October. She stated: “They can’t go where Charles and Camilla will go – they can’t go to Australia.”
Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry have offered fans a sneak peek into what transpired behind-the-scenes during their Nigeria visit. In a touching moment, Meghan was visibly moved when she received a particularly special gift for Archie and Lilibet.
During her poignant trip to Africa, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan, was deeply touched by a gesture from young Grace Busari who presented her with exquisite hand-crafted teddy bears. The 13 year old daughter of CNN Nigeria Bureau Chief managed to unexpectedly warm Meghan’s heart with the teddies from @graceteddies made out of traditional African fabric.

Struck with emotion, Meghan embraced Grace’s mother Stephanie after receiving the gift. This display of affection from the Duchess resonated strongly, especially following her candid words on spending Mother’s Day away from her family.
Stephanie, present at the same Women in Business event as Meghan, shared her experiences of the Duke and Duchess during their landmark visit.
Enthusiastically praising Harry and Meghan, Stephanie recounted: “Wow! That was the weekend that was! Flying to Abuja to cover the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visit, I truly didn’t know what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised. They are fun, caring, loved up, compassionate, total naturals with a crowd. To see Harry sitting on the floor to play volleyball with disabled servicemen was something and he showed such compassion too during his hospital visit to Kaduna.
“It was a private visit but looked like a royal tour in all but name! So happy that Harry and Meghan visited Nigeria to shine a spotlight on the injured servicemen and women, Invictus Games and mental health – and to dispel a few myths about Nigeria being a dangerous place! Also wonderful to see Meghan celebrated and welcomed as per Naija girl! Welcome Omowale Ada Mazi Adetokunbo Amira. (Just a few of the names she has received while here!)”.
