Buckingham Palace has issued its initial significant statement subsequent to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s contentious visit to Nigeria. Here’s the essential information you should know.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s recent trip to Nigeria has stirred discomfort within the Royal Family. Their journey, conducted in a manner reminiscent of royal protocol, has sparked displeasure as it suggests a continuation of their royal roles despite their resignation from official duties in 2020. This move is perceived as a challenge to the traditional role of the Royal Family, provoking tension within the institution.
Buckingham Palace’s latest announcement concerning King Charles
Despite the Royal Family’s discontent over Prince Harry and Meghan’s recent visit to Nigeria, they are facing their own challenges. King Charles, who has returned to his duties following a cancer diagnosis, is preparing for an overseas tour commemorating the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
Scheduled for June 6, King Charles will visit the British Normandy Memorial in northern France, accompanied by Queen Camilla and Prince William.
While this tour was planned in advance, it is also perceived as a response to Prince Harry and Meghan’s Nigeria trip, which reportedly upset the Royal Family, particularly King Charles and Prince William.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s private journey to Nigeria included receptions, visits to schools and charities, and a meeting with wounded soldiers—typical elements of a royal tour. This approach seemed disrespectful to the Royal Family, suggesting a deliberate emulation of royal protocol despite their resignation from senior royal duties.
The Nigeria trip is viewed as a form of rebellion by Prince Harry and Meghan, implying that they do not need official titles to maintain their royal status in the public eye. Additionally, the couple’s public criticisms of the Royal Family, along with Prince Harry’s forthcoming autobiography, “Spare,” which promises controversial revelations, have become ongoing concerns for the Royal Family.
