Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s globe-trotting endeavors have once again caught the public eye, but not for the reasons they may have hoped.
Following controversial trips to Nigeria and Colombia, their attempts to secure a high-profile visit to India have reportedly been met with an unexpected setback.
According to Royal commentator Lady C, the Sussexes were hoping for an invitation from India but were turned down, leaving many speculating about the reasons behind the snub.
India, a nation rich in culture, history, and growing global influence, appears uninterested in hosting the former royals. Reports suggest that Harry and Meghan were keen on visiting the iconic Taj Mahal, potentially recreating the famous photo of Princess Diana.

However, India’s decision to decline raises questions about the Sussexes’ reputation and whether their visits are seen as beneficial or more of a PR liability.
This latest development adds to a pattern of criticism surrounding the couple’s recent travels. Both their trips to Nigeria and Colombia were intended to highlight charitable causes, yet they ended up drawing significant backlash.
In Colombia, for instance, citizens criticized the couple for freeloading off taxpayer money and flaunting wealth in a country struggling with poverty.
India’s decision may signal a growing global sentiment toward the Sussexes. While private organizations might still welcome them, the idea of Meghan Markle attempting to replicate Diana’s iconic moment at the Taj Mahal is likely to be met with skepticism.
The world, it seems, is becoming increasingly wary of Harry and Meghan’s motives, and their quest for relevance on the global stage may prove more difficult than they anticipated.
