Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are attempting to “take advantage” while Prince William and King Charles are unable to conduct overseas royal tours, according to royal author Angela Levin.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex embarked on a short trip to Nigeria earlier this month, visiting a secondary school and a polo club during a busy few days.
Speaking to GB News, Levin criticised the couple, suggesting they are capitalising on William and Charles’s inability to travel abroad.
The Prince of Wales is currently managing his duties alongside caring for his family, following the news that Princess Kate has been diagnosed with cancer.

King Charles is also battling cancer, making lengthy overseas trips unlikely as he focuses on recovery.

Levin said: “The royals who go abroad have extensive discussions and weeks of preparation.
“They [Harry and Meghan] had so many royal engagements; it wasn’t just a visit.
“Harry and Meghan are trying to seize the opportunity since King Charles and William can’t travel. They aim to show they’re modern and fun.”
The First Lady of Nigeria recently appeared to criticize Meghan’s fashion choices subtly.
In a veiled remark, she told an audience: “The message here is we have to protect our children. Look at how they dress.
“They forget that Nigeria is beautiful. We are fashionable, but this isn’t the Met Gala.
“The nakedness is everywhere, while men are well-clothed. We must do something. We don’t accept nakedness in our culture. It is not beautiful.”
Levin also expressed her disapproval on GB News, particularly about Meghan’s attire.
She said: “She visited a very religious school in a backless dress.
“That’s provocative and inappropriate, especially if she was representing the Royal Family. I found her clothing choice appalling.”
Meanwhile, Prince Harry told People magazine: “Meeting people directly is crucial for supporting our causes and bringing about positive change.
“There’s only so much one can do from home and over Zoom, so we look forward to traveling more because the work matters.
“Whether it’s the Archewell Foundation, Invictus, or our other causes, there will always be reasons to meet the people central to our work.”
