Harry and Meghan’s Controversial Visit to Nigeria
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wrapped up their three-day trip to Nigeria on Sunday, leaving behind a trail of raised eyebrows and speculation.
The couple found themselves in the spotlight when the British national anthem played at a charity event they graced with their presence.
As the anthem filled the air, Prince Harry and Meghan stood in stoic silence, their expressions betraying a hint of amusement, their gazes fixed straight ahead, conspicuously refraining from joining in the singing.
This display was particularly striking considering Prince Harry's lineage, as the son of King Charles, to whom the anthem pays homage.
The couple's reaction, or lack thereof, did not escape the notice of Paul Burrell, Princess Diana's former butler, who shared his thoughts during an appearance on GB News alongside host Patrick Christie's.
Reflecting on a clip from the event, Burrell expressed his astonishment at the couple's behavior, questioning the appropriateness of their actions on the global stage.
“Isn't that embarrassing?
It's not only embarrassing for them, it's embarrassing for the world and certainly embarrassing for our country,” remarked Burrell, emphasizing his perplexity at the duo's attempt to portray themselves as working royals despite their altered status.
Burrell went on to suggest that Prince Harry's father, King Charles, should address the matter of his son's conduct during public appearances in Commonwealth countries.
Additionally, he criticized the playing of the national anthem, deeming it unnecessary for a non-official royal visit.
He urged the Foreign Office to intervene and provide guidance to Commonwealth nations regarding the Sussexes' status, emphasizing that their actions could create confusion and misrepresentation.
“At a royal visit, they play the national anthem.
Why was the national anthem played at their visit?
It wasn't a royal visit,” questioned Burrell, highlighting the discrepancies in protocol observed during the couple's engagements.
The fallout from Harry and Meghan's controversial behavior has not gone unnoticed by royal expert Tina Brown, who likened their actions to a circus act, branding it a “clown show.”
Brown expressed concerns about the monarchy's stability in the wake of the Sussexes' departure, highlighting Catherine, the Princess of Wales, as a beacon of hope amidst the turmoil.
She emphasized the precarious position of the monarchy, suggesting that the future hinges on Catherine's popularity and influence within the royal family.
In response to the escalating tensions, reports have emerged that King Charles is contemplating measures to restrict Harry and Meghan's involvement in Commonwealth affairs.
Royal expert Tom Quinn disclosed that the king is considering barring the couple from undertaking unofficial visits to Commonwealth nations.
While King Charles grapples with the dilemma of maintaining royal decorum without appearing vindictive, he faces mounting pressure to curtail any future engagements involving Harry and Meghan.
Quinn underscored the urgency of the situation, emphasizing the need to prevent further disruptions caused by the couple's unconventional approach.
Amidst the uncertainty surrounding the Sussexes' future engagements, concerns have been raised about Meghan's rebellious image overshadowing the traditional ethos of the royal family.
Quinn warned of the potential allure of Meghan's defiance, contrasting it with the understated demeanor of other royal members.
He highlighted the apprehension felt by King Charles and Prince William regarding Meghan's impact on the public perception of the monarchy, underscoring the delicate balance between tradition and modernity.
