Royal expert warns Meghan Markle, Harry about 'notorious' move

A royal expert has warned Meghan Markle and Prince Harry ahead of their ‘faux royal' tour to Australia saying it is intended to boost their brand, but will upset the palace.

Speaking to the Daily Express UK, Richard Fitzwilliams made these remarks days before Meghan and Harry’s trip to Australia next week.

He said, “The Sussexes' ‘faux royal' tour to Australia is intended to boost their brand. One thing is undeniable. their ability to get publicity is extraordinary.

“However, in contrast to their 2018 tour, when they were working members of the Royal Family, this looks very dubious.”

Richard added, “It has become notorious owing to Meghan’s main activity, her so-called all-women Wellness Weekend at the Inter InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach Hotel.

“Harry is likely to undertake engagements linked to the military as well as speaking at the Inter Edge Summit on mental health. What actually happens will be fascinating.”

The royal expert warned, “It is also likely to upset the Palace as Australia is one of the King's realms and was due a visit by the Prince and Princess of Wales, who were last there in 2014.”

“One thing is for certain, they are getting attention,” the expert said.

Meanwhile, another royal expert has issued a stark warning to the couple over using the royal titles during their upcoming trip to Australia.

The OK! quoted royal expert Robert Jobson as saying, "I’m sure [Buckingham Palace] would prefer that Harry and Meghan weren’t going, but there’s not a lot they can do about it. They have no control.

"There will undoubtedly be a sense of confusion about what Harry and Meghan are there for … this trip may stick in the gullet of the palace."
