Royal Concerns Rise Over Harry and Meghan’s Potential Quasi-Royal Tours

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent journey to Nigeria has stirred up worries within the royal family.

The couple's visit, resembling an official royal tour, has raised questions about future private overseas trips by the Sussexes.

While the royal family lacks the authority to halt such excursions, there are speculations that measures might be taken to discourage these quasi-royal tours.

According to royal expert Tom Sykes, speaking to the Express, palace officials could exert diplomatic pressure on friendly nations to refrain from hosting these faux-royal visits.

During their time in Nigeria, Prince Harry and Meghan were warmly received at every turn, being treated with high regard akin to royalty.

Sykes highlighted that although the royals cannot entirely restrict their travel plans, governments may consider employing diplomatic tactics to dissuade countries from accommodating these quasi-royal excursions.

Despite limitations on forcefully preventing their visits, discussions surrounding Ghana's potential reception prove to be challenging.

The prospect of Harry and Meghan embarking on another trip following their successful Nigerian visit has been circulating.

Reports suggest that the couple is contemplating a visit to Ghana subsequent to their recent high-profile tour.

Sources hint at the eagerness of Ghana's influential figures and artistic community to welcome the Sussexes in Accra, a city cherished by Harry's late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

The Mirror reports that preparations are underway to ensure a warm reception for the couple, with considerable anticipation and excitement building up in Ghana.

Notable personalities such as Ed Sheeran, Naomi Campbell, and Liam Payne from One Direction have graced Ghana with their presence in recent years, along with Idris Elba, a regular visitor due to his Ghanaian heritage.

The enthusiastic anticipation for Harry and Meghan's arrival in Ghana reflects the desire to showcase the country's rich culture and hospitality.

The vibrant Afrobeat scene is set to roll out the red carpet for the couple, promising a memorable experience filled with local performers and warm welcomes.

Following their stay in Nigeria, the Sussexes have garnered attention through various photographs capturing their moments.

Observers have noted a predominant focus on Meghan during the trip, leading to perceptions of it being the “Meghan Show.”

Royal commentator Rupert Bell, appearing on Kinsey Schofield's To Die For Daily show, pointed out the dynamics where Harry seemed to play a supporting role as Meghan took center stage, exploring her Nigerian heritage.

Schofield further highlighted Harry's positioning as the follower despite his previous grievances about being sidelined within the royal family.

Criticism arose regarding Meghan's alleged tardiness to an event in Nigeria, with claims of her arriving an hour and a half late, deemed disrespectful to their hosts.

The dynamics between Harry and Meghan, especially in the context of public appearances and their roles within the royal family, continue to attract scrutiny and commentary.

As discussions swirl around their potential future ventures, the spotlight remains on how the couple navigates their public engagements and the reception they receive in various settings.
