Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have “overshadowed” Prince William’s visit to the Scilly Isles, according to GB News Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker.
He spoke on Good Afternoon Britain about the Sussexes’ trip to Nigeria, which he says “could raise some royal eyebrows”.
The couple arrived in Nigeria after flying from to Abuja from London.
“If you had been in a coma for the last four years and you see the coverage for Harry and Meghan’s trip to Nigeria, you’d be forgiven for thinking the two were still working members of the Royal Family”, Walker said.

“On the surface, it is playing out like a royal tour. They visited a school this morning for a mental health summit, they also went to a kindergarten class, Meghan revealed their daughter’s favourite class is dancing and singing.
“It all sounds like a royal tour. The whole point of the trip, Nigeria was part of the Invictus Games for the first time last year.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
“Nigeria is keen to host the games in a future year. Meghan revealed in her Archetypes podcast last year that she is 43 per cent Nigerian.
“This could raise some royal eyebrows, the reason being is that Harry and Meghan are no longer working members of the Royal Family.
“This does play out like a royal tour and King Charles is head of the Commonwealth and has not had a chance to visit the Commonwealth yet.
“It has overshadowed Prince William’s visit to the Scilly Isles, his first time as the Duke of Cornwall.

“Yes, Harry and Meghan are totally within their rights to do this, it appears to be going quite successfully so far but it does raise some royal eyebrows.”
The Duke of Sussex landed in London on Tuesday ahead of his reading at St Paul’s Cathedral to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
He was joined in London on Thursday by Meghan, who landed at Heathrow Airport after flying in from Los Angeles.
The couple then boarded an overnight British Airways flight to Abuja.
According to the Mail, the couple were kept apart from other passengers by a curtain as they enjoyed the first-class section of the plane.
Speaking on her Nigerian heritage in 2022, Meghan said: She said on her Archetypes podcast: “I’m going to start to dig deeper into all this because anybody that I’ve told, especially Nigerian women, are like ‘What!'”
