Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been accused of a "direct contradiction" of their previous obsession with their privacy, a royal commentator has said.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex may find themselves unable to visit Australia during their global tour, it is claimed, despite the resounding "success" of their recent trip to Nigeria.
Royal correspondent Louise Roberts suggests that the couple, who stepped down as senior royals in 2020, are ready for a " world tour'" following their successful Nigerian sojourn, but she has criticised them for their previous demands for "privacy"
Speaking to Sky News Australia, she said: "In May, after Nigeria, and that was a successful faux royal tour for them, let's face it, Harry made the comment they want to do more of this." On the channel's Royal Report, Louise added: "(Harry and Meghan) are obsessed with privacy but a world tour is a direct contradiction."

She stated: "They can't go where Charles and Camilla will go - they can't go to Australia."
Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry have offered fans a sneak peek into what transpired behind-the-scenes during their Nigeria visit. In a touching moment, Meghan was visibly moved when she received a particularly special gift for Archie and Lilibet.

The couple were well received (Getty Images for The Archewell F)The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan, was visibly moved during her high-profile visit to the African continent when young Grace Busari presented her with a pair of stunning hand-stitched teddy bears. Grace, daughter of CNN Nigeria Bureau Chief is just 13 and caught Meghan by surprise with her heartfelt gift.
Made from traditional African print material, Grace's bears, which are part of her range @graceteddies, reduced Meghan nearly to tears as she enveloped Grace's mum Stephanie in an emotional and appreciative hug. Meghan's reaction was even more touching given her previous comment about missing not being with her loved ones for Mother's Day. Grace's mother Stephanie, who attended the same Women in Business conference as Meghan, recounted their interaction on this historic visit.
Stephanie spoke highly of the Royal couple saying: "Wow! That was the weekend that was! Flying to Abuja to cover the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visit, I truly didn't know what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised. They are fun, caring, loved up, compassionate, total naturals with a crowd. To see Harry sitting on the floor to play volleyball with disabled servicemen was something and he showed such compassion too during his hospital visit to Kaduna."
"It was a private visit but looked like a royal tour in all but name! So happy that Harry and Meghan visited Nigeria to shine a spotlight on the injured servicemen and women, Invictus Games and mental health - and to dispel a few myths about Nigeria being a dangerous place! Also wonderful to see Meghan celebrated and welcomed as per Naija girl! Welcome Omowale Ada Mazi Adetokunbo Amira. (Just a few of the names she has received while here!)"
