The reason why people are ‘peeved’ Meghan Markle is once again snubbing the United Kingdom has seemingly been unveiled by royal experts ahead of Prince Harry’s visit next week
Next week Prince Harry will return to the United Kingdom, with his wife Meghan Markle remaining in the United States and snubbing her former country of residence.
The Duke of Sussex stepped back from the Royal Family alongside his wife in 2020, with him now set to return to the UK so that he can attend an Invictus Games Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral, on Wednesday, May 8.
The event that the Duke is attending is taking place to mark the 10th anniversary of the games that the Duke founded in 2014, with Harry due to make a speech at the gathering. During the week, it was confirmed that Meghan would be giving the event a miss.

But despite Meghan deciding to miss a visit to England, she will be flying from the US to Nigeria for a tour of sorts with her husband shortly after. And this has seemingly left the public annoyed over her snub of her former country of residence.
Appearing on GB News, commentator Tessa Dunlop and former editor of The Sun, Kelvin MacKenzie, discussed Meghan’s upcoming Nigeria trip. Kelvin even said that the Duchess’s snub of the UK for Nigeria is like “giving a V sign to the British people”.
Speaking on the show he fumed: “Instead of coming to the UK, perhaps to rally round the Royal Family in difficult times, both with the King and his and Kate, what does she do? She nips over to Nigeria.
“She likes the title but she doesn’t like the country. Why doesn’t she just say so?”
Dunlop then weighed in with: “I agree she does have certain issues with Britain, and with people like you spouting off. Can you blame her?”

MacKenzie later argued: “How do you know that Meghan going to Nigeria is going to give them a huge amount of pleasure? You’re guessing at it, aren’t you?
“Everywhere else she’s gone, she gets a huge raspberry. She comes over here, the most loved person that I can ever remember joining the Royal Family, and within half an hour, she said I’m not hanging around being told what to do by you lot, and she heads out to LA in the mansion. Honestly, she’s not worth defending.”
Dunlop continued to defend Meghan, as she explained: “The King gave pleasure at the cancer centre. Sophie would have given pleasure in Ukraine, desperately needed, and likewise Meghan, with her super stardust.
“Which is why people like you are so peeved because she turned her back on Britain!”
