Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's recent trip to Nigeria has reportedly left King Charles "angrier than anyone has ever seen him," a Royal expert has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were in the African nation to promote the Invictus Games, but their trip has been met with criticism, with some labelling it an unofficial Royal tour.
Royal author and commentator Tom Quinn exclusively told The Mirror: "William is absolutely furious and determined to find a way to stop this happening in future. Charles is said to be angrier than anyone has ever seen him.
"What's really upset the applecart is the fact that the Nigerians treated Meghan and Harry as if they too thought this was an official tour - all the signs were there as the couple were greeted with dances, receptions, visits to schools and charities."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex famously stepped down as working royals in 2020, with Harry losing several Royal roles, reports the Mirror. The Royal author suggested that there had been concerns within the Royal Family that Meghan and Harry "would try to pull a fast one" and feels the Nigeria trip "has confirmed their worst fears".
He added: "It's as if Harry and Meghan have gone rogue - their Nigeria trip is a bold statement that they refuse to accept they are no longer working royals. William and Charles are scratching their heads and thinking, 'How are we going to control this nightmare situation?'"
Reflecting on Meghan and Harry's trip, Mr Quinn suggested that it's "easy to see why the senior royals are worried". He explained that the Nigeria trip could be seen as an attempt by the couple to portray themselves as still being working royals.
He further commented: "Everything you might expect from an official Royal visit was there - the receptions, the visits to schools and charities, to wounded soldiers and the disabled. Meghan and Harry's speeches and their whole attitude has been designed to give the impression that they are still fully paid-up royals and William and his father King Charles don't like it one bit
"For Charles and William, it's as if Meghan and Harry are saying, 'We don't need your permission to be working royals we will do it on our own terms whenever and wherever we like'." OK! contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.
