The Duke and Duchess of Sussex may be planning more tours in the future, but they need to be careful about one key thing, warns a PR expert. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been warned that their “bogus royal tours” abroad could “deepen” an ongoing rift with the royal family. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex embarked on what many described as a "successful" three-day trip to Nigeria earlier this month to promote soldiers' mental health and empower young people.
They also hinted that there could be more tours on the horizon after Harry told PEOPLE that "it's extremely important for us to meet directly with people, support our issues and listen, in order to find solutions, support and positive change." But now a PR expert has claimed trips of this kind could have an impact on the Montecito couple's already strained relationship with the royal family.
“These fake royal tours could deepen the rift with the royal family, if not handled properly,” Lynn Karat, a PR specialist from Press Box PR, told The Mirror. It was said that she angered the palace.” The expert added that if these tours were linked to the work and individual projects of the couple, it would enhance their brand image.
She explained: "I do not think that the Nigerian tour helped increase their popularity in the United Kingdom and the United States of America, but it showed African countries the work that the couple can do, and it will certainly increase their popularity there." Meanwhile, sources claimed last week that Harry and Meghan may be eyeing Ghana on their next tour. However, Ms Karat warned that the couple may need a reason for their trip to make sense. “Since Ghana is not participating in the Invictus Games and Meghan does not have Ghanaian heritage, for their visit to Ghana to be successful, they will need a specific project, such as the Archewell project or partnership that they want to showcase,” she said. in the country and encourage people to participate in it.
