Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have revealed they are planning more trips like their recent tour of Nigeria, with some royal experts worried about what’s to come
King Charles has been warned about the “dangers” of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle taking part in more “quasi-royal tours”, with one royal expert urging him to put a stop to the trips.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have just wrapped up their visit to Nigeria, where they took part in fundraising activities and met with key figures. The couple now have other trips planned and are hoping to share details with fans in the coming weeks.
Harry also said they “look forward to traveling more”. However, royal expert Richard Eden has suggested the King should be worried about the plans and urged him to step in.

Speaking on Palace Confidential, Richard said: “Harry made a comment about this being the first of many and I’ve been hearing mutterings in diplomatic circles here that there is great concern about this because it is very dangerous. You’ve got Harry and Meghan potentially visiting countries without that control that we have.”
As he urged the King to step in, Richard added: “Any trips by royals are organised by the foreign office, it’s all monitored, you make sure they’re not being used, but in this case, Harry and Meghan are open to being manipulated by foreign governments who may not have the interests at heart of Britain or America and I think it is dangerous.”
His comments come after a source close to Harry and Meghan previously told The Mirror: “The Duke and Duchess have other trips planned for the remainder of the year. They are hoping to be able to share more details in the coming weeks. It is definitely possible they could return to Africa for more tours after that.”

Harry also opened up on his plans to continue with tours of different countries as he expressed the importance of such work. Speaking to People magazine, he said: “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.”
Harry added: “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.”
