The moment Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘became a threat’ to the Royal Family has been revealed in a resurfaced clip.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the Firm back in 2020, swapping out royal life to fly solo in Montecito, California. They now live in the States with their two children and have put out a series of documentaries as well as a tell-all memoir.
Prior to this the couple, much like their royal relatives, took part in official state visits and in 2018 paid a visit to Fiji – which went down well with citizens. Taking to X at the time, the official Fiji Government wrote: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the night for thousands of Fijians as they waved from the balcony of the historic Grand Pacific Hotel in Suva City.”

Now a clip of the occasion has resurfaced, with staunch supporters of the Sussexes insisting no other members of the Royal Family have experienced such an exuberant reception since. One supporter declared: “And it was at this precise moment that Meghan Markle (and Prince Harry) became a threat to Prince William & Kate Middleton.
“The Royal rota can try to rewrite history, as much as they please, but they will never rewrite this. Nobody from the Royal family has gotten this since.”
Meanwhile Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams remarked that the overseas venture was a sweeping success, particularly when contrasted with similar state visits carried out by King Charles over his tenure as a Royal. Speaking to AberdeenLive he commented: “This tour was a triumph.
“Meghan and Harry were feted and it began dramatically with Meghan announcing her pregnancy. This was their first official tour after they married and it was regarded as proof the couple were an amazing draw and would be a huge hit in the Commonwealth.
“Theories that they were some form of threat are probably influenced by the hostility between Charles and Diana on their 1983 Antipodean tour where he resented the scale of attention she received.
“It was always thought the Sussexes would be a hit on tour, he was extremely popular, she was thought to be experienced in public and their partnership appeared an ideal one for representing the crown abroad. There was no intimation then of what was to come.”
King Charles and Queen Camilla have recently been met with a lukewarm reception during their state visit to Australia, with a scheduled reception in Canberra receiving cold shoulders from state premiers who declined invites due to prior commitments. Buckingham Palace has confirmed the monarch will speak to community and political leaders at the event amidst Australian media calling the premiers’ absences an “insult” to the Royal couple.
