Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Australian Tour: A Recipe for Chaos?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to embark on a highly anticipated tour of Australia, but sources close to the royal family are warning that the trip may be poised to spark chaos and annoy Buckingham Palace.
According to royal writer Robert Jobson, Buckingham Palace would prefer that the couple weren’t going on the tour, but there’s not a lot they can do about it. Jobson told Page Six, ‘I’m sure [Buckingham Palace] would prefer that Harry and Meghan weren’t going, but there’s not a lot they can do about it.’
The Palace’s Concerns
The palace’s concerns are likely centered around the fact that the tour is being touted as a ‘faux-royal’ tour, with many of the trappings of an official royal visit, but without the official backing of the palace. This could lead to confusion among the public and the media, and may undermine the authority of the royal family.
Furthermore, the tour is likely to attract a huge amount of media attention, which could lead to unwanted scrutiny of the royal family and their activities. The palace may be worried that the couple’s actions and behavior on the tour could reflect poorly on the monarchy as a whole.
What to Expect from the Tour
Despite the palace’s concerns, the tour is still set to go ahead, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are likely to attract huge crowds and media attention wherever they go. The couple will likely visit a number of high-profile locations, including Sydney and Melbourne, and will undertake a range of engagements and activities.
However, the couple’s unconventional approach to royal duties may lead to some unexpected moments and surprises along the way. With their willingness to break with tradition and forge their own path, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are sure to keep the media and the public on their toes.
