Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been warned about the implications of their planned trip to Ghana, following their recent visit to Nigeria. The advice comes amid consideration of more international travel, which some call “quasi-real travel.”
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams expressed concern about mirror about the possibility that such tours would lead to ridicule, given the current non-royal status of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The couple’s successful tour of Nigeria earlier this month has fueled their enthusiasm for further travel.
Richard explained: “Surely they would need an excuse, their security in Nigeria was provided by the Government and the visit was linked to the Invictus Games, which Nigeria is participating in and is reportedly keen to host, but Ghana is not. “Nor does Meghan have Ghanaian ancestry.” He fountain shared: “There is already a lot of talk and excitement in Ghana, everyone is eager for Harry and Meghan to come and experience the great culture and warmth.”
The upcoming trip to Ghana, reportedly scheduled for the next few months, is said to be influenced by both her affiliation with the Invictus Games and Meghan’s personal interest in connecting with her heritage. However, Fitzwilliams warns that another tour similar to those undertaken by members of the royal family may not be well received, suggesting the Sussexes could become a target of ridicule.
He stressed the importance of carefully considering the nature and purpose of your visits to avoid potential negative perceptions. The proposed tour to Ghana reportedly came about following an invitation from Ghanaian officials, indicating significant interest on the part of the host country in fostering ties with the couple.
This visit could potentially highlight important cultural and development issues, but poses a delicate balance for Harry and Meghan as they play their roles outside the traditional confines of the British Royal Family.
