There are a lot of different views about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent trip to Nigeria, but one voice stands out and gives important advice that could be understood by both fans and critics.
How to Stay on the Fine Line
Their “quasi-royal” tour got a lot of different responses, ranging from praise for how polite they were to doubts about how closely their private and royal lives were linked.
Rachel Burchfield, the wise voice behind Podcast Royal, stresses how important it is to be clear in these kinds of situations. “If a member of the public can’t discern between a Harry and Meghan trip and an official royal tour, incidents like this can tarnish the reputation of the royals,” she says.
A Run-in with the Law
The important event took place when the Sussexes met Dr. Allen Onyema, CEO of Air Peace, whose past problems with US law enforcement made people nervous. Even though Harry and Meghan are private, their trip with Dr. Onyema has caused people to look twice and ask questions.
There are a lot of unknowns in this case, and Burchfield gives a fair view of it. “We don’t know for sure if Harry and Meghan knew about his alleged crimes.” “However, it makes them more aware of how important it is to be careful in their activities, especially when they are in foreign countries,” she says.
A Look Ahead
As Harry and Meghan think about their plans, like their trip to Nigeria, Burchfield gives them wise advice. “Their team must conduct thorough research before scheduling any interactions, particularly in regions plagued by corruption,” she tells us.
The hiring of PR experts not long ago is a positive step in the right direction. Historian Gareth Russell praises this strategy move, seeing it as an important part of how they are seen by the people.
Betty Note’s
There are a lot of different views about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s diplomacy efforts, but Rachel Burchfield’s advice is a bright spot. As they try to find the right mix between being private citizens and being former royals, her advice helps them remember how important it is to be discreet and do their research in everything they do.
