Quote from: Lothwen on April 30, 2024, 03:43:30 PMTechnically they've been invited by the military.


And during the late Queen's jubilee, William and Kate received a lot of criticism during their visit to the Caribbean for appearing like white colonist to their brown subjects. Will Harry (white) and Meghan (let's be honest, white-passing ) receive any sort of the same criticism during their visit to Nigeria?


The Sussexes were in fact invited by the Nigerian Defence Minister, who is presumably a member of the Nigerian Govt.

Yes Harry is white, but Meghan had a DNA test and has stated that she has 43% Nigerian ancestry (through presumably her mother Doria. That is about 40%+ more than Harry has or any member of the so-called working royals, so I think the Sussex couple will be fine.

As for that Caribbean tour by the then Cambridges, it was an absolute farce (much of it arranged by their accompanying staff and aides) and several Ministers of the countries they visited pointedly remarked in front of them that their countries will be republics in the near future. Im convinced that several other realms will follow. Nigeria is already a republic so that factor will not be there.

Prince William has a go at making eco-friendly concrete blocks during a visit to Low Carbon Materials in Seaham, County Durham. As President of The Earthshot Prize, the Prince was shown how the company creates innovative, low-carbon construction material, and the work that the company has done since becoming a Earthshot Prize Finalist in 2022.

Technically they've been invited by the military.
