Prince Harry and Meghan Markle blasted over Nigeria trip
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning more “quasi royal tours,” which could prove to be problematic, says one royal expert.
Harry and Meghan were recently in Nigeria for three days, meeting with government officials and visiting local organizations, which came across as carrying out royal engagements.
The Nigeria visit was a “template” and there are more visits like this to come, it's being reported.
Newsweek’s Jack Royston spoke about their future plans during the latest episode of The Royal Report, saying: "It requires a certain amount of trust on Harry and Meghan's part if they're going to keep doing this.”
According to Mr Royston, Harry and Meghan need to be mindful of who they trust when making these visits.
The Sussexes are traveling as private citizens and do not have the support of the government, which is the case when senior working royals make official visits.

According to Mr Royston, a lot goes into a royal tour, the planning starts at least a month or so in advance, the embassy works with the host nation to make sure “everything is all proper and above board” and saying "no" to anything considered inappropriate.
Also, palace staff would fly to the location to meet with people, learn about the country, before the representatives of the monarchy arrive.
"It seems like what Harry and Meghan have done is just basically throw themselves into this with trust.”

Mr Royston suggests Harry and Meghan do the preliminary work before going into these visits, advising them “to check and recheck and double check.”
He also suggests researching all of the dignitaries they plan to meet.
"I think they're just going to have to chalk it up to experience and keep going down the same path and working with, you know, host nations where they have the offers from governments to do it.
"I mean, it is dependent on them being given a formal invitation and a government being willing to roll out the red carpet for them.”
The Royal Family cannot stop Harry and Meghan from carrying out these visits, but they can step in, and speak to the host nation and ask them to refrain from extending the invitation, it's being said.
