Meghan and Harry 'can't go to key country' thanks to strict royal rule
Following the success they experienced during their recent visit to Nigeria, it has been reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are eyeing up a number of other future tours to countries such as Malta and Ghana.
Questioning whether the couple would be ready to undertake a world tour, royal reporter Louise Roberts told Sky News Australia: "In May, after Nigeria, and that was a successful faux royal tour for them, let's face it, Harry made the comment they want to do more of this."
If a large scale tour is on the cards for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stepped back from their roles as senior royals in 2020, they will have to wait to visit one key country, however, thanks to a very specific royal rule.
Louise continued: "(Harry and Meghan) are obsessed with privacy but a world tour is a direct contradiction."
Despite reports of more travelling, the Sussexes won't be able to travel to Australia anytime soon due to a potential clash with King Charles and Queen Camilla's planned tour of the country in October.
In other news, Meghan and Harry have shared behind-the-scenes glimpses of their Nigeria visit. In a touching moment, Meghan was visibly moved when she received a special gift for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
She had previously expressed how much she missed not being with them for Mother's Day, making the moment even more touching. During their high-profile visit to Africa, we can reveal that the Duchess of Sussex was left speechless by a gesture from young Grace Busari, 13.
Meghan was deeply moved when she was gifted a pair of beautiful hand-stitched teddy bears from 13 year old Grace, daughter of CNN Nigeria Bureau chief and Senior Editor who was invited to join Meghan and Harry on their visit.
The adorable toys from Grace's line @graceteddies, crafted from traditional African print material, nearly brought Meghan to tears as she embraced Stephanie, Grace's proud mum. Stephanie, who attended the Women in Business conference with Meghan, shared her thoughts on the impactful trip.
She exclaimed: "Wow! That was the weekend that was! Flying to Abuja to cover the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visit, I truly didn't know what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised. They are fun, caring, loved up, compassionate, total naturals with a crowd. To see Harry sitting on the floor to play volleyball with disabled servicemen was something and he showed such compassion too during his hospital visit to Kaduna."
"It was a private visit but looked like a royal tour in all but name! So happy that Harry and Meghan visited Nigeria to shine a spotlight on the injured servicemen and women, Invictus Games and mental health - and to dispel a few myths about Nigeria being a dangerous place! Also wonderful to see Meghan celebrated and welcomed as per Naija girl! Welcome Omowale Ada Mazi Adetokunbo Amira. (Just a few of the names she has received while here! )".
