Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently returned from a four-day trip to Australia after attending some private business engagements, philanthropic events, and speaking appearances. While their “faux royal” tour received mixed reactions from the public, a source says the visit is being “watched so carefully” behind palace doors as an unofficial “trial run” before their UK return.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry making royals ‘uneasy’ over their latest Australia trip, per source
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently returned from their Australia trip. It was their first tour to Down Under since their 2018 official royal visit, and before giving up their royal duties. However, insiders claim that their “faux royal tour” is being viewed behind palace doors as an unofficial “trial run” for the Sussexes‘ UK return.
“Behind the scenes, the Australia visit is now being viewed as far more than just another overseas work trip for Harry and Meghan,” an insider told RadarOnline.com.They added that the visit “serves as a very deliberate test case for the kind of role” the couple set for themselves “internationally moving forward – something that still carries the polish, glamour and public impact of a royal tour, but entirely on their own terms and outside the control of Buckingham Palace.”
However, the source further clarified that their trip made “people inside the institution uneasy” due to the growing perception that the Sussexes are “effectively trying to build their own independent version of a royal court abroad.”
This did not sit well with many, as from the “palace’s perspective,” their trip blurred “the lines between official royal business and the Sussexes’ private commercial brand.” Thus, there is growing concern that the people could start seeing the Sussexes as a “sort of rival or parallel branch of the monarchy operating independently from Buckingham Palace.”
“That’s why trips like Australia are being watched so carefully,” revealed the source, who further stated that even though the Sussexes “are popular,” it’s about whether the couple can “successfully position themselves as quasi-royal global figures outside the institution, and whether that eventually creates tension for the Royal Family itself.”
