Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have received fresh backlash for allegedly “promoting themselves” during their three-day visit to Nigeria
Royal Commentator Lee Cohen said the “quasi royal tour” was an opportunity for them to be “celebrities” and “only promote themselves”, not the royal family or their respective native countries.Cohen, speaking to GBN America, claimed “I believe that the Sussexes are casting about for any relevance, and they keep changing their branding and changing so many things, and selling jam.
“Are any of these things really working?”
He added: “Now they’ve taken this opportunity to go on a quasi-royal tour in representation not of any nation, but in representation of their favourite subject, themselves.”
Host Nana Akua was in agreement with Cohen as she explained: “Whilst all the pictures and the coverage look great, I kind of felt a sense of nostalgia, I thought this would be wonderful if you looked at it and didn’t know the back story, you’d think how amazing this is.
“But unfortunately you can’t wipe the back story.”
