Kate Middleton and Prince William ‘absolutely furious’ over Meghan and Harry’s Nigeria trip: royal author
Prince Harry, 39, and Meghan Markle, 42, recently took a royal-style trip to Nigeria — even though they stepped back from being working royals in 2020.
Author and royal expert Tom Quinn told the Mirror that the couple’s trip “confirmed the worst fears” of Harry’s family, and made Prince William and Kate Middleton “absolutely furious.”
He added, “Everything you might expect from an official royal visit was there — the receptions, the visits to schools and charities, to wounded soldiers and the disabled.”

Sources within the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office told The Daily Mail that Harry and Meghan were “visiting Nigeria in a private capacity” and that the UK Government was not involved in “arranging or facilitating” their activities.
Nevertheless, it had all the markings of a traditional royal tour.
During their visit to the nation that Markle referred to as “my country,” the Duchess of Sussex co-hosted a Women in Leadership event with Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director general of the World Trade Organization.
The mom of two said that it was “eye-opening” and “humbling” to learn more about her heritage during her and Harry’s three-day trip.

The couple, who were gifted a traditional wooden beaded necklace, also visited children at the Lights Academy in Abuja, where they were greeted by cheering crowds.
Additionally, Harry met with injured service members at a military hospital.
The royal launched the Invictus Games in 2014 as a multisport, Paralympics-style event for injured service members and veterans.
Harry and Meghan also went to a training session for the organization “Nigeria: Unconquered.” They then attended a reception hosted by the Chief of Defense Staff, honoring military families.

“Meghan and Harry’s speeches and their whole attitude has been designed to give the impression that they are still fully paid-up royals,” said Quinn, adding that William and King Charles “don’t like that one bit.”
Their Nigeria trip is a sign that they have “gone rogue,” Quinn claimed, alleging that the Firm was concerned that the couple would “try to pull a fast one.”
