Prince Harry and Meghan Markle propelled into 'A-list bracket' after 'impressive' move
A recent high-profile move made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been praised by a Royal Family expert.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been “propelled” in the "A-lister bracket" after their successful visit to Nigeria, according to a Royal Family expert.
Although Meghan did not attend an event in London to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games earlier this month, she flew to Heathrow Airport to meet her husband, and together they traveled to Nigeria for a three-day tour of the Commonwealth country.
The tour was widely regarded as successful, with the Sussexes receiving praise for championing mental health awareness during multiple engagements in Nigeria.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News that the tour propelled the couple into an "A-lister bracket".
He said: "I think they will be very satisfied with it because it was a private visit that had all the trappings of a royal visit.

"So in reality, people conflated the two, and it had enormous press coverage.
"They had huge international coverage. So what this gives them is an opportunity to build the value of their brand internationally by doing this again.
"Now that they have beefed up their communication team, I would expect them to do this again.
"This puts them much more into the A-lister bracket. What they had done before was not that much or that impressive."
Prince Harry gave a reading at St. Paul's Cathedral to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, which he founded in 2014 while he was still a working member of the Royal Family.

Fitzwilliams believes Meghan's absence from the event was due to her low approval ratings in the UK and the ongoing rift between the Sussexes and the Royal Family.
He said: "It was not a question of supporting him [Harry], she [Meghan] was not coming here because her ratings in the polls are terrible.
"The Royal Family has this huge rift, so there are all sorts of reasons why she chose to stay away. She assumed which turned out to be the case that she would get positive publicity in Nigeria.
"It made total sense not to accompany Harry to St Paul's Cathedral. It would have been unthinkable a few years ago that this would happen but it has."
