Bower further elaborated on Kate's challenges, saying, "There is poor Kate, dealing with her illnesses, while they should be in Nigeria, focusing on their work. Now, the Sussexes have stepped in, causing embarrassment for the King. Buckingham Palace rightfully decided not to partake in their game on this occasion."
The biographer also claimed that Queen Camilla and Prince William influenced the King's decision not to meet with Prince Harry during his visit to the UK. Bower remarked, "She's going to play the Duchess there, she's going to play the Royal Family card. The woman who sought privacy in California and seemingly distanced herself from the royals is now invoking her royal status."
Describing Harry's behavior, Bower stated, "Treachery is a strong word, but he has acted disloyally and traitorously as a man, son, brother, and member of the British public. His conduct has been appalling."
However, Richard Montgomery, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, released a statement to clarify the situation, emphasizing that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's visit to Nigeria was of a private nature and not an official one. Montgomery expressed his appreciation for their visit, which he understood to be at the invitation of the Defence Headquarters.
