Prince William 'absolutely furious' with Harry over his 'unofficial royal tour' with Meghan Markle
Prince William is said to be 'absolutely furious' with his estranged brother Prince Harry and Meghan Markle amid their Nigerian tour, which is being dubbed an 'unofficial royal tour'. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the African country to promote the Invictus Games but they've come under fire.
According to a royal expert, both Prince William and King Charles aren't happy with the couple amid the 'unofficial' tour and believe the trip is a "bold statement" that show the pair, who controversially decided to step back from their royal duties in 2020, "refuse to accept they're no longer working royals."
Royal expert Tom Quinn told The Mirror: "William is absolutely furious and determined to find a way to stop this happening in future. Charles is said to be angrier than anyone has ever seen him.
"What’s really upset the applecart is the fact that that the Nigerians treated Meghan and Harry as if they too thought this was an official tour – all the signs were there as the couple were greeted with dances, receptions, visits to schools and charities." The expert added that the Nigeria trip "has confirmed Prince William and King Charles' worst fears."
He added to the publication: "It’s as if Harry and Meghan have gone rogue – their Nigeria trip is a bold statement that they refuse to accept they are no longer working royals." The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's three-day trip to Nigeria began on Thursday, May 9 and saw them meet military officials, speak about mental health and promote the Invictus Games.
While the visit largely focused on the Invictus Games as it celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, Harry also took the time to speak about the importance of protecting our mental health.
While at a school Harry, 39, said: "In some places around the world, more than you would believe, there is a stigma against mental health. Too many people don't want to talk about it because it's invisible, it's in your mind and we can't see it.
"But guess what, every single person in this room, the youngest, the oldest, every single person has mental health. So therefore, you have to look after yourself in order to be able to help other people, other people have to look after themselves in order to be able to look after you. That's the way it works."
Proving that the memory of Diana, Princess of Wales and her guiding influence is clearly never far from his thoughts, Harry also gave a heartfelt speech where he spoke about "acknowledging bad days, grief and sadness".
