A recent visit by the Sussexes to Nigeria has stirred up tension within the British royal family, particularly with the Prince of Wales and the King feeling infuriated by the couple’s actions.<\/p>\n

Despite stepping back from their royal duties in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s trip to Nigeria, which included typical royal engagements like receptions, school visits, and meetings with soldiers, has raised eyebrows and sparked discontent among senior royals.<\/p>\n

Renowned royal expert Tom Quinn disclosed that the suspicions held by Harry’s family were confirmed by the couple’s journey, leading to heightened anger from the Prince of Wales and the King.<\/p>\n

Quinn highlighted that all the customary elements of an official royal visit were present, such as interactions with schools, charities, wounded soldiers, and the disabled, further fueling the King’s displeasure.<\/p>\n

The Sussexes, although not representing the UK government officially during their Nigerian tour, have been criticized for their conduct, with concerns raised about their perceived adherence to royal protocols.<\/p>\n

British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery, emphasized the couple’s non-official status and underscored that they were not on government business, despite their high-profile visit.<\/p>\n

In a departure from tradition, the Sussexes refrained from singing the British national anthem during their time in Nigeria, prompting confusion and criticism from various quarters.<\/p>\n

Royal butler Paul Burrell highlighted that the absence of the national anthem performance was unusual for a royal engagement, questioning the couple’s decision not to participate in this customary practice.<\/p>\n

Even though Prince Harry had his military titles stripped three years ago, he was observed inspecting troops at the Nigerian defence headquarters in Abuja during the visit, adding another layer of complexity to the controversy surrounding their trip.<\/p>\n

The lack of adherence to established royal norms and protocols has further fueled the dissatisfaction among senior royals, who expected the Sussexes to maintain a more subdued profile post their withdrawal from active royal duties.<\/p>\n

The discord within the royal family over the Sussexes’ Nigerian trip underscores the ongoing tensions and challenges faced by the couple as they navigate their post-royal life.<\/p>\n

The clash of expectations, perceptions, and behaviors has reignited debates about the appropriate roles and responsibilities of former senior royals, highlighting the delicate balance between personal freedom and public expectations in the context of royal engagements.<\/p>\n

As the fallout from the Sussexes’ visit continues to reverberate within royal circles, the broader implications of their actions on the monarchy’s image and reputation remain a subject of intense scrutiny and debate.<\/p>\n

The intricacies of royal protocols and traditions, juxtaposed with the evolving dynamics of modern royalty, underscore the complexities inherent in balancing personal choices with institutional expectations within the British royal family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
