As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are all set to embark on an unofficial world tour, reports claimed that they have been warned against travelling to Australia. The reason is they can’t go where King Charles and Camilla will go and they have plans to visit Australia in October.
In May this year, Harry and Meghan went to Nigeria and that trip did not go down well with the Royal Family.King Charles and Prince William were furious because the Nigeria trip looked like an official royal tour though the couple stepped down from their royal duties in 2020.
Royal reporter Louise Roberts told Sky News Australia Harry and Meghan would not be able to travel to Australia in the near future as it would clash with King and Queen’s official tour.
The couple’s Nigeria trip rattled King Charles as he saw it “as an attempt to undermine the monarchy in the Commonwealth”. The royal family was concerned that the couple had gone rogue. “For Charles and William, it’s as if Meghan and Harry are saying, ‘We don’t need your permission to be working royals — we will do it on our own terms whenever and wherever we like,’” Royal expert Tom Quinn earlier said. He added that the couple’s speeches and overall conduct in Nigeria appeared to convey that they are still active royals, a perception that William and Charles “don’t like one bit.”
In January, the couple visited Jamaica which still considers King Charles as head of state.
“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.” Speaking on the channel’s Royal Report, Louise added: “(Harry and Meghan) are obsessed with privacy but a world tour is a direct contradiction.”
