Allegedly, a substantial altercation occurred between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during their visit to Nigeria, as reported by a tabloid.
The dispute purportedly revolved around their children, Archie and Lilibet. Their visit, originally intended to be a diplomatic engagement, took on a presidential aura as they were escorted through Abuja and Lagos in a 14-car convoy, flanked by soldiers donning balaclavas and carrying machine guns. Initially slated to lodge at the Transcorp Hilton, they later shifted to the Fraser Suite due to security and logistical concerns, coinciding with a significant gathering of African leaders.
According to the Daily Mail, the Sussexes, accompanied by their security detail, various Invictus Games directors, and AIDS activists, occupied the entire top floor of the Fraser Suites in central Abuja as their operational hub.
The Fraser Suites, renowned for its top-tier amenities, provided the Sussexes with a haven amidst their packed schedule. Their accommodations, a lavish executive penthouse priced at $3,000 per night, boasted four bedrooms, a spacious living and dining area, and panoramic views of the Nigerian capital. Throughout their stay, the couple utilized the suite for wardrobe changes, maintaining a discreet presence away from public areas of the hotel, as staff members were instructed not to disclose their presence. Departing in the early hours of Monday morning, they were escorted back to the airport by military personnel.
While Harry and Meghan briefly displayed a facade of contentment for the cameras during a public appearance at the State Governor's House in Lagos on Mother's Day, sources claim their private moments were marked by discontent. Megan, acknowledging the significance of the day with a smile, expressed gratitude for being in the "motherland," albeit with a palpable yearning for their children.
Despite her outward composure, the strain on their relationship persisted, exacerbated by Meghan's ostentatious wardrobe choices during the trip, tallying nearly £120,000 in expenses. This expenditure, once covered by Prince Charles as part of their royal duties, now raises questions about the source of funding for Meghan's attire in their newfound pursuit of financial independence.
The juxtaposition of celebrating Mother's Day without their children underscored the complexities of their situation, with tensions simmering beneath the surface. Meghan's choice of attire, notably a yellow Carolina Herrera gown with sentimental ties to her children, further emphasized the stark contrast between their public image and private struggles. As they navigate their evolving roles outside the confines of royal obligations, the financial implications of their lifestyle choices remain uncertain, raising speculation about who now shoulders the cost of Meghan's wardrobe and whether discounts from designers still factor into the equation.
