Harry and Meghan are at it once more, planning a foreign tour that has everyone buzzing.
This time, they’re eyeing Botswana or Lesotho for their next royal escapade.
After two unsuccessful attempts to maintain their relevance earlier this year—one in Nigeria and another in Colombia—the Sussexes are gearing up for a third trip before the year wraps up.
It seems like they can’t resist the allure of the spotlight, even if it means repeating past mistakes.
As we’ve come to expect from the couple, no trip would be complete without their signature PR spectacle.
They’ve become experts at turning even the most mundane charity events into grand media moments.
So, brace yourselves for more awkward photo ops, forced smiles, and bewildered locals wondering why these two are still trying so hard to stay in the limelight.
It’s almost as if they’re struggling to find meaningful ways to fill their time.
Despite a string of failed ventures—including lackluster podcasts, a Netflix deal that’s more of a joke than a success, and a lifestyle brand that nobody asked for—they seem convinced that extravagant tours are the secret to staying relevant.
This marks their third attempt in just one year, which certainly highlights their desperation for attention.
It’s almost comical how they admit to improvising their travel plans.
These globetrotting jaunts don’t come cheap.
Hosting Harry and Meghan involves significant costs for the countries they visit, with private jets, luxury accommodations, and entourages that resemble small armies.
This charitable duo knows how to travel in style, seemingly oblivious to the pressing issues facing the nations they choose to visit.
Their determination to bask in the spotlight often comes at a hefty price for their hosts.
Currently, Botswana and Lesotho are on the radar for this latest tour, but how long will they remain untouched?
Botswana recently struck gold—or rather, diamonds—with the discovery of a massive gem, and it’s hard not to wonder if Meghan has her sights set on this glittering prize.
After all, what could be more romantic than a getaway in a resource-rich country?
Harry’s personal connections to the region only add to the intrigue.
One can almost picture Meghan crafting a grand narrative about their love story, complete with staged candid photos of them appearing blissfully in love.
However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that they might be running out of options when it comes to countries willing to roll out the red carpet for them.
In fact, during their last visit to Nigeria, the first lady, Aisha Buhari, wasn’t particularly keen on welcoming them with open arms.
Reports suggest that Botswana isn’t exactly excited about hosting them either.
Meghan had a tough time adapting during their previous trip, and it’s hard to see her roughing it in the African wilderness.
Perhaps she’ll try her luck in Lesotho, but even that seems uncertain at this point.
The pressing question remains: why do these countries continue to indulge this ongoing charade?
Are they genuinely eager for a fleeting brush with royalty, even if it’s a skewed version?
If you hold a government position in Botswana or Lesotho, it might be time to set some firm boundaries and simply say no.
There’s no obligation for your country to finance what essentially amounts to a vacation disguised as a goodwill tour.
Standing up to the Sussexes could actually boost your popularity.
After all, the public often appreciates when leaders take a stand against freeloaders.
