Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s upcoming unofficial visit to Nigeria has sparked speculation among royal experts regarding the true motives behind the trip.
While ostensibly linked to Prince Harry’s involvement with the Invictus Games, some commentators suggest that there may be hidden agendas driving the couple’s decision to travel to the African country.
Editor-at-Large Charlotte Griffiths suggested on GB News that the Sussexes may be using the guise of promoting the Invictus Games to pursue other objectives, such as gathering content for their Netflix series and asserting their independence from the royal family.
Griffiths implied that the couple’s visit to Nigeria could be a strategic move to elevate their public image and expand their media presence.
Royal expert and author Tom Bower echoed Griffiths’ sentiments, proposing that the trip may be funded by the Nigerian government and criticizing the couple for leveraging their royal status for personal gain.
Bower expressed skepticism about the transparency of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s intentions, suggesting that their true motives remain obscured.

Additionally, royal author Phil Dampier raised concerns about the couple’s attempts to establish themselves as independent figures within the royal sphere.
Dampier suggested that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be seeking to create their own “royal roadshow,” separate from traditional royal engagements, and criticized their apparent hypocrisy in accepting invitations based solely on their royal connections despite their previous criticisms of the monarchy and the Commonwealth.
The speculation surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Nigeria visit underscores broader questions about their role within the royal family and their approach to post-royal life.
As the couple continues to navigate their public image and pursue their philanthropic and media endeavors, scrutiny of their actions and motivations remains inevitable.
