Just as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seemed to have resolved their charity issues, they find themselves at the center of another controversy.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were invited to Nigeria by a man wanted by U.S. authorities, receiving "top-tier treatment" from their host.
As the scandal unfolds, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield noted that if Harry and Meghan were still part of the royal family, the situation could have been managed more effectively.
Schofield explained that Dr. Allen Onyema is accused of moving over $20 million from Nigeria through the U.S. The airline executive allegedly used the laundered money to purchase designer goods, luxury watches, and cars. He has since been deported.
Despite Onyema's denial of the allegations, Schofield pointed out that Harry and Meghan's association with him may be seen as an endorsement.
Speaking to GB News, Schofield stated that this is the type of issue the Palace could have "helped navigate" or even "avoid" if Harry and Meghan were still within the royal fold.
Onyema, the CEO of Nigerian airline Air Peace, who faces money laundering charges, provided "complimentary flights" and catered to "their every need" because "they are royals," according to an airline representative.
Onyema was among those present to welcome Harry and Meghan upon their arrival in Nigeria.
