Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been accused of acting like “rogue, quasi-royal agents” over their recent tour of Nigeria by a royal expert.
The Duke and Duchess spent three days in the country earlier this month, and are now considering a potential African return among their future jaunts.
Despite escaping the UK to spend their lives quietly among the private community of rich people in Montecito, California, they were said to be “elated” with how their trip went down. However, long-time royal commentator Daniela Elser has slammed the pair for their actions.

Writing for news.com.au, she said: “In 72 hours, they came, they saw and they hugged. There were schoolchildren, veterans, charity meetings, posing with a variety of government bigwigs and enough outfit changes to sate the cottage industry built around chronicling Meghan’s incredible style.
“If you squinted you could almost imagine it was 2019, a time when hand sanitiser was only for they hypochondriacally-inclined and the duke and duchess still swore fealty to Crown Inc and Duchy Organic biscuits.
“Except of course, it’s not and the Sussexes are two people who currently have all the official status of Lifestyle Channel presenters and whose HRHs are currently being stored in the cavernous Clarence House attics.”

And she later raged: “With Crown Inc on the back foot after both the King and Kate, the Princess of Wales, were both diagnosed with cancer this year, this development – Harry and Meghan operating as rogue, quasi-royal agents roaming the world unchecked – is the real royal icing on the cake.”
It comes after a former Buckingham Palace staffer claimed to The Beast that the pair going on “rival” foreign tours could “muddy the waters” for the palace in the future.
Further tour plans have not yet been revealed, but you can rest assured in knowing that the Daily Star will be first with the news – and views of those who aren’t that keen on them.
