Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s tour of Nigeria, the suggestion that they will do more such foreign tours,

and Harry’s statement claiming his father King Charles III had refused to meet him have combined to reactivate the simmering feud between the two families.

Relations are “as bad as they have ever been” according to one friend of the Windsors.

The Sussex tour of Nigeria, while being hailed as a tremendous success by their camp and garnering positive global headlines,

has aroused suspicions and stoked fears of a “rival” royal operation disrupting careful overseas messaging by the family.

One former royal staffer told The Daily Beast: “Overseas visits might look like jollies, but they are actually a matter of foreign policy.

They are about promoting the U.K. and building diplomatic and trade alliances on behalf of the government.

“Harry and Meghan have different priorities because they are no longer working royals. But of course the vast majority of the world is ignorant of such distinctions and regard Harry and Meghan as every bit as representative of the royal family as William and Charles, so if these rival foreign tours become a regular thing, it could muddy the waters. The reason they went to Nigeria was to promote Invictus (the Paralympic-style event Harry set up)—and themselves. That’s not what royal tours are about.”

Of particular alarm in some quarters is the clear suggestion by the couple that the trip to Nigeria was not an isolated event and that more such sorties are being planned.

Prince Harry, for example, told People magazine: “It is hugely important for us to meet directly with people, supporting our causes and listening, in order to bring about solutions, support, and positive change. There’s only so much one can do from home and over Zoom, so we look forward to traveling more because the work matters. Whether it’s the Archewell Foundation, Invictus, or any of our other causes, there will always be reasons to meet the people at the heart of our work.”

Britain’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office was contacted for comment but did not reply to The Daily Beast.
