The Sussex spectacle is back, with yet another attempt at mimicking royal grandeur—this time, allegedly setting their sights on Ghana.
Following their self-proclaimed triumph in Nigeria, where actual government officials tactfully kept their distance, Harry and Meghan now appear eager for another African adventure. However, there’s just one small issue—Ghana doesn’t seem to recall inviting them. According to the Daily Mail, Ghana is supposedly thrilled to welcome the pair with open arms, red carpets, lavish accommodations, and top-tier security. Because, of course, no country facing real challenges could possibly have more pressing concerns than funding luxury stays for two former royals turned influencers.
Yet, curiously, those with actual authority in Ghana have remained notably silent. This situation feels oddly familiar—last year, Ghana’s president outright denied ever extending an invitation, despite the Sussex PR machine working overtime to suggest otherwise.
The grand vision, it seems, is for Harry and Meghan to establish themselves as global icons in Africa. Because nothing says relevance quite like jetting into developing nations, basking in admiration, and then retreating to Montecito to count streaming deals. The problem? They’re about as in demand there as they are in the UK or the US. Their recent visit to Nigeria was framed as a roaring success, but in reality, what did they actually accomplish? A drum kit? Was that Nigeria or somewhere else? Hard to keep track amid their whirlwind of self-promotion. Regardless, few are buying into their self-styled "global statesman" act—aside from their own PR team, perhaps.
If the rumors of their Ghana visit are true—and at this point, they rarely are—the country should brace itself for the full Sussex experience. Five-star hotels, private jets, designer wardrobes worth more than the national budget, meticulously staged photo ops with local children (captured, of course, by a Meghan-approved photographer), and at least three strategically placed microphones. Then comes the inevitable Sussex speech, where Meghan will undoubtedly deliver an impassioned monologue about empowerment, rediscovering her roots, or whatever the PR buzzword of the month happens to be. And let’s not overlook the colonial savior optics—because nothing quite screams breaking free from oppression like two ex-royals arriving to soak up admiration from the masses.
Predictably, Ghanaian officials will likely have to step forward and clarify that no, they did not invite the Sussexes, nor do they intend to bankroll their glorified vacation. It’s the same exhausting routine—Sussex PR leaks an “exclusive” about an upcoming tour, the media runs with it, and, weeks later, the supposed host country awkwardly denies any involvement. Meghan and Harry then move on as if the entire charade never happened. Rinse and repeat.
If Ghana does end up rolling out the red carpet, it won’t be due to any profound admiration for the couple. More likely, it will be the work of a minor official looking for media attention—much like what happened in Nigeria. But in reality, Harry and Meghan are simply two private citizens desperate for a platform to remind the world they still exist. The real question now is, who will be next on their imaginary tour list? Madagascar? Fiji? Outer space? One thing is certain—this traveling circus shows no sign of slowing down.
