Prince William ‘Fears’ Harry & Meghan Could Become ‘Public Face Of Royal Family’ Amid Health Crisis
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent visit to Nigeria has reportedly raised concerns among royal experts about the couple overshadowing senior royals, particularly Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The Sussexes were warmly received by the African nation and engaged in some activities typically seen during official royal tours. Now, according to a report, the special treatment Harry and Meghan received in Nigeria has deeply “upset” the royal family.
Senior Royals Fear Harry And Meghan Would Be Seen As ‘The Public Face Of The Royal Family’
According to royal expert Tom Quinn, “The senior royals, especially William and Kate, are terrified of one thing above all others: that Harry and Meghan will continue to organize trips across the world until they are seen as the public face of the royal family.”
In a chat with The Mirror, Quinn noted: “The fear is made worse because William knows that with his wife stricken with cancer, he cannot compete, and he can’t stop the Meghan and Harry rollercoaster.”
He continued: “William is absolutely furious and determined to prevent this from happening again in the future. Charles is said to be angrier than anyone has ever seen him.”
The Royal Family Is ‘Upset’ At The Way Nigerians Treated Harry And Meghan
While speaking with the news outlet, Quinn further noted that the royal family is especially “upset” with how Nigerians treated the Sussexes.
He said, “What’s really upset the applecart is the fact 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.”
“Everything you might expect from an official royal visit was there — the receptions, the visits to schools and charities, to wounded soldiers and the disabled,” the royal expert continued.
“Meghan and Harry’s speeches and their whole attitude have been designed to give the impression that they are still fully paid-up royals and William and his father King Charles don’t like it one bit,” Quinn concluded.
