Amidst the ongoing tensions between the royal family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a fresh warning has been issued regarding their rumored upcoming royal tour following their controversial visit to Nigeria.
Public relations expert Lynne Carat expressed concerns that these so-called faux-royal tours could widen the existing divide within the royal household if not handled carefully.
The palace reportedly was displeased with the Nigerian trip, as it bore all the hallmarks of an official royal tour.
Carat remarked in an interview with the Mirror that while the visit may not have boosted Harry and Meghan’s popularity in the UK and USA, it did shed light on the charitable work they support, potentially increasing their appeal in African nations.
Buoyed by the success of their Nigerian venture, the Sussexes are now eyeing Ghana for their next potential destination.
A source disclosed that there is significant buzz and anticipation in Ghana for the royal couple’s visit, with locals eager to share their culture and hospitality with Harry and Meghan.
Carat emphasized the importance of the Sussexes approaching a Ghanaian tour with a clear purpose, such as launching an archwell initiative or fostering partnerships to engage and inspire the local community.
Given their lack of Ghanaian ancestry and the absence of Ghana from the Invictus Games, a meaningful project would be essential to avoid the tour being perceived as unauthorized or lacking substance.
In light of these developments, the prospect of Harry and Meghan embarking on another international tour has reignited discussions about their role within the royal family and the impact of their independent ventures.
The delicate balance between their personal endeavors and their royal duties continues to be a point of contention.
