Sussexes’ Nigeria tour a sad effort to recapture magic that was once theirs

Like a couple of retired rock stars, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have been on tour in a doomed effort to recapture the magic that once was theirs.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have been on tour – but the self-loving pair can’t disguise the fact that they have permanently alienated those who should mean the most to them – their family, says Nigel Jones.

Like a couple of retired rock stars, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have been on tour in a doomed effort to recapture the magic that once was theirs.

But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s travels only served to emphasise the deep disgrace that they have plunged themselves into – entirely by their own efforts.

First up was Harry, who, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games Charity he co-founded for disabled ex-servicemen and women, paid his first visit since February to Britain – the land of his birth that he has publicly spurned.
