Prince Harry was full of “anger and bitterness” during his recent trip to Nigeria with Meghan Markle, a royal expert has claimed.

The couple’s trip was part of wider celebrations marking the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, which Prince Harry co-founded.

During their three-day stay, they visited the country’s military headquarters and met with charity organisations and politicians.

They also visited a school for a mental health event and met wounded Nigerian soldiers after being invited by the country’s highest-ranking military official, Christopher Musa.

Despite what appeared to be a successful visit, royal commentator Angela Levin claimed the Duke was on the verge of “exploding with anger and bitterness”.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visit Nigeria as part of Invictus Games Anniversary celebrations

During the trip they were forced to sit through one particularly cringeworthy moment, which Levin said would have been the root of the anger.

The couple had to sit through a ceremony in which the national anthem was played, during which they stood awkwardly while the music played, staring straight ahead, poker-faced.

Levin said it was obvious that Prince Harry and Meghan “hated” this moment, but were forced to sit through it to “show respect”, adding that saying no to the ceremony would’ve been a publicity nightmare.

She told GB News America: “They were both standing up when they played God Save the King. They didn’t move. They didn’t even blink and they didn’t actually mouth sign a word.

“They obviously had to do it because the people wanted to do that to show respect for the King’s family They couldn’t say no because that would have made a lot of publicity.

“They were quiet but they obviously hated it. I thought Harry would explode with anger and bitterness, to be honest.”

Fans were quick to draw comparisons between the couple’s Nigeria trip and a traditional royal visit, as locals welcomed them with gifts, including a portrait of a young Prince Harry with Princess Diana.

Locals heaped praise on Meghan in particular for engaging in conversations and posing for selfies during the visit, as well as co-hosting a women’s leadership event with Ngoni Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organisation.
