Harry and Meghan ‘royal’ tour of Nigeria.

How do you know what the press will report? Do you have a crystal ball?

I didn’t know that they were in/going to. Nigeria. I thought Harry was coming here next week to celebrate the ten year anniversary of the Invictus Games.
I would also prefer their titles to be removed. They are trading on them.

I thought the visit was to do with the Invictus Games being held in Nigeria at some future time and Meghan visiting privately to explore her heritage.

Of course it's not a Royal visit as they are not working Royals.

He is coming here to attend a service re Invictus then going to to Nigeria , she will join him in Nigeria.

I am reporting this thread.

I thought the general consensus was to leave the Princess of Wales to continue her treatment with intrusion.

Sorry, to continue her treatment in privacy and without unpleasant intrusion.

It's unpleasant.

Callistemon they will be in the papers and on rolling news

Callistemon why on earth are you reporting this thread? I only mentioned Catherine in passing. I made no mention of her condition, treatment or prognosis, just that she was ailing or in other words ill, which is true. I made no speculation otherwise.

Apparently, Meghan has recently discovered she is 43% Nigerian, which is sending its first delegation to the Invictus Games.
If they are planning a tour it seems more likely to be a desperate attempt to revive their flagging newsworthiness, that is, their 'marketability.'

Oh for pity’s sake - moaning on about H and M as though there’s nothing more important in life.

Apparently Meghan discovered she is 43% Nigerian two years ago and wants to explore her heritage.

I find it puzzling that Doria must be almost 100% Nigerian but Meghan didn’t know or wasn’t curious?

It’s a lucky coincidence that a free trip to Nigeria is coming up because Netflix must be running out of projects to film.

They have been invited, I believe because of the Invictus connection. Nigeria can invite who they choose. H and M did not organise it but to have turned it down would not have set a good impression either.

Moaning ? No discussing their latest attempt to grab headlines
you are moaning Iam because the thread doesn’t please you,
?that’s moaning

Harry and Meghan are not working royals so this can't be a royal tour surely. Why would comparisons be made between the King and Catherine and Harry and Meghan? Can't understand that way of thinking. Catherine has asked to be left in peace to get well.

I don’t understand the point of the thread. They are not working royals. They are going to Nigeria. Is that really newsworthy?

I didn’t know they were going either, so it’s not in any news media I’ve read recently.

Trouble is, the government seems to be using them?
So, very unfortunartely, they will be back and centre again, at least in the media.

I’m not moaning and I have no intentions of discussing any other members of the RF but I find the heritage connection somewhat odd.

There are many, many more important and serious things in life than H & M. Not sure how the government is using them, though.
Ridiculing them is light relief.
Surprised you stooped so low to even read this thread, Ian64.

I can't for the life of me see how mentioning Catherine on a thread like this could be considered 'intrusion'. I'm fairly sure she's not sitting trawling through Gransnet!

They have accepted an invitation to Nigeria where they will meet servicemen/women and be hosted at an array of cultural activities. Nigeria would like to host the Games in later years.

It won't be a royal trip because they are not working royals, but will satisfy her Markleship with plenty of flashing lightbulbs and Harry as arm-candy.

I don’t understand the point of the thread.

Me neither.

They are not "working royals" as you say - so why would the media be reporting on the visit as an official royal tour?

Of course it will get some press coverage as H&M always do - so what?

I am fed up of reading about these two. They wanted to be out of the limelight so they left the country but have been in the limelight ever since. I just wish newspapers would stop reporting on so called celebrities and Harry and Meghan and get down to what is happening in the world. Also I am sick to death of Katie Price always being in the papers, bankrupt and yet being allowed to pay for cosmetic surgery, buy new cars and have never ending holidays. It is a slap in the face for people who watch every penny and do not owe anyone anything. Why are the judges letting her of so lightly, it would not happen to we normal people, we would have to sell everything to pay off our creditors if we were in that position. Same with Kates parents, the Middletons, they are bankrupt and still owe creditors money but they live in a massive mansion, how can this be allowed, surely they should be told to sell up and pay what they owe. It is a complete farce.
