Meghan Markle 'wisely' avoids UK trip as Prince Harry faces 'setback' with King Charles
dailyrecord.co.ukPrince Harry and Meghan Markle's trip to Nigeria is being viewed as a 'cover' for a perceived 'setback', following the King's apparent 'snub' of his son during his UK visit, according to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams.Harry touched down in the UK this week to celebrate the ten year anniversary of the Invictus Games.Despite rumours that he might meet with his father to mend their strained relationship, it has been revealed that no such meeting will take place due to the King's packed schedule.Fitzwilliams told The Mirror that this could be seen as a 'snub', but suggested that Harry and Meghan have already devised a plan to 'cover' for this 'setback'.The royal expert said: "Meghan has wisely decided that a hostile press and public would prefer her to stay away from the Service at St Paul's to commemorate a decade of Invictus.
Their visit to Nigeria is a cover for what is a setback."While the former Suits actress won't be joining Harry in the UK, she will accompany him on their upcoming trip to Nigeria.
They are expected to meet with service members and engage in various cultural activities during their visit.Fitzwilliams also noted that while Harry and Meghan may have a strategy for redemption, it doesn't lessen the impact of King Charles' 'snub'.He said: "This will be seen as a snub.
There is little doubt that this was not arranged as it should have been as King Charles has always made it clear that his door is open to Harry."
