Reports have surfaced suggesting that the possibility of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle being invited to Ghana is on the horizon following their well-received visit to Nigeria.
However, the leadership in Ghana has seemingly cast doubt on any such plans to extend an invitation to the renowned couple from Montecito.
Highlighting the eagerness of Ghana’s officials and prominent figures for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to grace their country after their commendable tour of Nigeria, a spokesperson for the Sussexes disclosed the growing interest from the West African nation.
Sources with insider knowledge shared with the Mirror that influential figures and cultural icons in Ghana are enthusiastic about welcoming the Sussexes to Accra, the capital city that held a special place in the heart of Harry’s late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The anticipation in Ghana is palpable, with discussions already buzzing about the prospect of Harry and Meghan immersing themselves in the rich culture and hospitality that the country has to offer.
Notably, Ghana has seen visits from various high-profile personalities in recent times, including Ed Sheeran, Noel Cowell, Liam Payne of One Direction, and the likes of Idris Elba, who shares Ghanaian heritage and has a strong connection to the country.
The source further elaborated on the warm reception that Harry is likely to receive, emphasizing the grand welcome that awaits him and his family, complete with top Afrobeat performers ready to entertain them.
The allure of experiencing Ghana’s famed Jollof Rice adds to the excitement surrounding a potential visit by the royal couple.
Meghan’s PR team also hinted at the continuation of their philanthropic efforts, mentioning their successful engagement with Nigeria’s Giants of Africa program and their plans to expand initiatives by introducing adaptive sports facilities in Abuja.
However, the enthusiasm from Ghana’s side seems to be met with skepticism as President Nana Adudana Akufo-Addo dismissed any claims of extending an invitation to Meghan and Harry.
Citing the Commonwealth status of Ghana, the President subtly suggested that the couple might not find the same reception in Ghana as they did in Nigeria.
The tone took a critical turn as the President implied a cautionary stance, hinting at concerns over potential controversies that could arise from hosting the couple, alluding to the need for them to reflect on past experiences and make informed choices moving forward.
The narrative around Meghan and Harry’s prospective visit to Ghana takes a sharp twist as criticisms surface regarding the couple’s intentions and alleged controversies.
The comparison drawn between Ghana and Nigeria in terms of corruption levels raises doubts about the couple’s reception in Ghana, with insinuations that only corrupt officials would entertain the idea of hosting them.
The skepticism surrounding Meghan’s PR tactics and the underlying motives behind the proposed visit paint a picture of uncertainty and skepticism within the Ghanaian context.
