Prince Harry and Meghan Markle found themselves in a centre of another controversy just when they had seemingly settled their charity row.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were invited to Nigeria by a “wanted man” by US as the couple was given “top-tier treatment” by the host.
As the new controversy unfolds, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield shared that had Harry and Meghan still were with the royal family, the matter would have easily been resolved.
Schofield detailed that Dr Allen Onyema is accused moving more than $20 million from Nigeria through the US. The airline boss reportedly used the laundered money to but designer good, expensive watches and cars. Moreover, he had been deported since after that.
The royal commentator noted that while Onyema “denies” those allegations, it appears that Harry and Meghan “are endorsing him by associating with him.”
Schofield told GB News that this is kind of thing that the Palace could have “helped navigate” or even “avoid,” had they still been with the royal family.
Onyema, the CEO of Nigerian airline Air Peace, who is accused of money laundering, gave “complimentary flights” and “everything they wanted” because “they are royals,” per a rep of the airlines.
Moreover, Onyema was one of the few people waiting to welcome Harry and Meghan when they arrived in Nigeria.
