Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to have come under fire over their most recent private tour of Australia, led by Prince William and Kate Middleton, which was partially funded by the Australian government over security concerns.
According to a palace insider, the move by the Sussexes, who were refused part-time royal status by the late Queen, has managed to do exactly that as per the image and it is rumored that Wales remains keen to do more.
The entire discussion about this took place during a conversation with the source. Ni idea And according to their findings, behind the palace walls, the parents of George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 8, are eager to get back to their public roles.
The insider with Palace ties was also quoted as saying, “Now that their health has improved, Kate and William know that an official visit to an important Commonwealth country like Australia – as a family – is overdue, especially since King Charles and Queen Camilla, who are in their late 70s, had planned to visit in 2024.”
But that’s not the only reason, because “they are also well aware that their official visit will have no impact on Prince Harry and Meghan’s recent, controversial visit,” and this is partly the fuel.
For those unaware of the couple’s tour and engagement. They extended to Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney. While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle both paid privately, one as a keynote speaker and one as host of a women-only ‘Girls Weekend’ retreat organized by Her Best Life Podcast. They also had other outings, like Meghan’s secret appearance on MasterChef Australia, her visit to the Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club, and an Invictus Australia sailing event in Sydney Harbour, among others.
As for what the palace thinks about this faux-royal tour, they say, “This was exactly what Queen Elizabeth rejected as an option when Harry and Meghan decided to leave full-time royal duties in 2020 before moving to California.”
So now, “William and Kate both know they need to give Australia a real ‘bells and whistles’ royal tour as soon as their schedules allow. William and Kate know the Australian public deserves better. It’s their job to make that happen.”
