Prince Harry is said to be furious that the Royal Family are still not recognising his efforts after his and Meghan Markle’s trip to Nigeria received broad international coverage.

The couple travelled to the West African country earlier this month where they spent three days meeting locals, hosting panels and attending several Invictus Games events.

However, the Firm were said to be angered at the Sussexes apparently emulating a royal tour, despite them stepping down as working royals four years ago.

Royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror: ” Harry and Meghan see their recent trip to Nigeria as a huge success, but for Harry, every success is another kind of failure while his family refuse to acknowledge his efforts and steadfastly refuse to apologise for everything that had happened in the past.

“In Nigeria and even with Meghan at his side and regularly holding his hand, he still has a permanent look of bitterness on his face.”

Although Harry and Meghan were received warmly in Nigeria, there are fears their actions could only worsen their rift with the Royal Family.

Lynn Carratt explained in InStyle: “These faux royal tours could deepen their rift with the Royal Family, if not handled correctly. Their Nigerian tour bared all that hallmarks of a Royal Tour which was said to [have] infuriated the Palace.

“I don’t believe the Nigerian tour helped to increase their popularity in the UK and USA. But it did showcase to the African nations the work that [the] couple can do and will certainly have increased their popularity there.”
