Prince Harry slammed for inspecting troops despite being stripped of military titles

It comes after the Sussexes were also criticised for using their ‘Duke’ and ‘Duchess’ titles during the trip.

Prince Harry has been slammed by a royal commentator for inspecting troops during his trip to Nigeria with Meghan Markle.

The couple are currently in Nigeria for three days to promote their work with the Invictus Games.

But Harry was seen inspecting troops at the Nigerian Defence Headquarters in the country’s capital of Abuja.

Video footage showed Harry being personally greeted by a ceremonial performance before carrying out the inspection.

Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield described the moment as “odd” adding it was “something he would have done 10 years ago” before he was stripped of his military titles.

She told GB News: “Despite being stripped of his military titles by the late Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Harry in Nigeria was seen inspecting the troops. This is odd.

“He’s not a working member of the Royal Family. That’s something he would have done 10 years ago.

“And I think that that is exactly what we see with Harry and Meghan. And the objective, again, is to monetise off of those connections.”

Harry and Meghan tried to move away from their titles in 2020, after stepping down as senior working royals and relocating to the US to carve out careers away from the monarchy.

And Kinsey was not alone in her claims that Harry and Meghan are now “cashing in” on their links to the Royal Family.

During a reception at the same event, the couple’s chairs were labeled with “Duke” and “Duchess” as opposed to their first names.

Royal expert Robert Jobson told the Daily Express: “They seem to be clinging on to the very same thing they have been trashing. Why can’t they just be themselves?

“This is about currency and not credibility.

“It should be Meghan and Harry, not Duke and Duchess – which smacks of colonial days as well.

“It’s a shame that Harry cannot be himself. After all, his mother was always simply Diana.

“It was good enough for her, why isn’t it for him?”
