The trip, intended to drum up support for Prince Harry's cherished Invictus Games, was reportedly overshadowed by the former Suits actress and her actions.
Headlines focused on the Duchess of Sussex's revelation that she is 43 percent Nigerian, diverting attention from the primary purpose of the visit.
In an analysis with TalkTV, royal commentator Rupert Bell remarked, "The visit was meant to focus on Invictus, but the aftermath centers around Meghan. Harry's efforts to promote Invictus seem to have taken a backseat."
Adding to the narrative, writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue told Sky News Australia, "It’s evident that Meghan plays a significant role in their decision-making. In many of their engagements, Meghan is at the forefront while Harry fades into the background."
As these dynamics play out publicly, concerns grow about the impact on Prince Harry's causes.
