Meghan Markle Expected More Praise From Royals After Her ‘Incredible Job’ on Australia Tour But Little ‘Recognition’ Caused Wider Rift

It seems like so long ago now when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were smiling and shaking hands with fans as they did world tours on behalf of the Crown.

Since stepping down as working royals, the Sussexes have done two visits that mirrored those tours they used to do, once in Nigeria and once in Colombia. But when we think about the duke and duchess’s official royal tours one that comes to mind is their highly-publicized 16-day trip to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Tonga.

Now, some royal experts are revealing that Meghan and Harry were very upset that their tour was deemed so successful but they didn’t get a ton of “praise and recognition” for how good of a job they did from the prince’s relatives. And Meghan, in particular, had a real problem with that.

ccording to Harry, “It really changed after the Australia tour, after our South Pacific tour. It was the first time that the family got to see how incredible she is at the job. And that brought back memories. To see how effortless it was for Meghan to come into the family so quickly in Australia and across New Zealand, Fiji, and Tonga, and just be able to connect with people.”

The duke compared Meghan to how people also came out in droves to see his mother, Princess Diana, when she toured Australia with his father back in 1983.
