Following the success they experienced during their recent visit to Nigeria, it has been reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are eyeing up a number of other future tours to countries such as Malta and Ghana. Questioning whether the couple would be ready to undertake a world tour, royal reporter Louise Roberts told Sky News Australia: "In May, after Nigeria, and that was a successful faux royal tour for them, let's face it, Harry made the comment they want to do more of this." If a large scale tour is on the cards for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stepped back from their roles as senior royals in 2020, they will have to wait to visit one key country, however, thanks to a very specific royal rule.
Louise continued: "(Harry and Meghan) are obsessed with privacy but a world tour is a direct contradiction." Despite reports of more travelling, the Sussexes won't be able to travel to Australia anytime soon due to a potential clash with King Charles and Queen Camilla's planned tour of the country in October.
