Prince Harry and Meghan, off the back of their hugely successful trip to Nigeria, have dropped a major hint about what they have planned for the future, but a royal expert has claimed that this might make Prince William ‘furious’

Harry dropped a major hint about the Sussexes’ future plans 

After Prince Harry recently visited the UK, he and his wife Meghan travelled to Nigeria together, where they spent several days on what some commentators have dubbed a “quasi-royal tour”. The couple have given a major hint about what some of their future plans may include, as Prince Harry discussed how the trip went in his view.

However, one royal expert has claimed to the Mirror that what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex potentially have lined may only make Prince William – with whom Harry has had a strained relationship for some years – further displeased. The expert also alleged the Prince of Wales is “furious” about his younger brother’s visit to Nigeria, which bore many of the hallmarks of an official royal visit, noting “Everything you might expect from an official royal visit was there.”

Speaking to People Magazine, Prince Harry dropped a major hint that there may well be more overseas trips planned in the future for him and his wife and that they fully intend to keep up their in-person visits. “It is hugely important for us to meet directly with people, supporting our causes and listening, in order to bring about solutions, support and positive change.

“There’s only so much one can do from home and over Zoom, so we look forward to travelling more because the work matters. Whether it’s the Archewell Foundation, Invictus, or any of our other causes, there will always be reasons to meet the people at the heart of our work.”

Harry’s comments come only weeks after sources close to William and Kate told the Daily Beast that William intends to adopt a more “hybrid” approach to his own work, incorporating virtual events into his schedule. “I’m sure that will mean doing more stuff online. He can ‘WFH’ and do hybrid working a bit. Frankly, it has more impact because it reaches many more people,” the anonymous friend was reported as saying.

A royal expert – author Tom Quinn – explained to the Mirror that Prince William was “furious” about Harry and Meghan’s recent visit to Nigeria. “William is absolutely furious and determined to find a way to stop this happening in future. Charles is said to be angrier than anyone has ever seen him,” the author claimed.

Quinn 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. Meghan and Harry’s speeches and their whole attitude has been designed to give the impression that they are still fully paid-up royals and William and his father King Charles don’t like it one bit.

“For Charles and William, it’s as if Meghan and Harry are saying, ‘We don’t need your permission to be working royals – we will do it on our own terms whenever and wherever we like’.”
