Meghan Markle's latest royal trip has been faced with criticism by Lady Colin Campbell, as the Duchess has snubbed the UK for a visit to a different country.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are to set to visit Nigeria, after being invited by the country's chief of defence staff. This comes as Meghan recently discovered she is also "43 per cent" Nigerian.

Despite the planned trip to Nigeria, Meghan has chosen not to accompany the Duke to the UK, where he will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games in London this week.

Speaking to GBN America, Lady C claimed that the couple are entering "dangerous territory" with their Nigeria trip.

Reacting to her decision to miss the Invictus Games service, Lady C told host Nana Akua she is "delighted" that the Duchess had the "good sense to not show up".

She added that if Meghan were to have gone with Harry, it would have become "a dog and pony show, where it's all about her and Harry".

Defending those involved in the Invictus Games, Lady C claimed: "I'm glad that she's not going, so at least the focus will be on the Invictus Games and the cause, which of course, is the worthwhile cause of the injured veterans."

Sharing her thoughts on the Nigeria visit, Lady C warned that the couple are facing "dangerous territory" and a "quasi-pseudo state royal visit".

The royal commentator told GBNA: "As for Nigeria, I think we are heading into very dangerous territory and I think that there is actually a comparable between the quasi-pseudo state royal visit that Harry and Meghan will be embarking upon."

Lady C highlighted: "And let us note that they have announced that it is His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex, notwithstanding the fact that he is not allowed to use the title His Royal Highness.

"So from the Nigerian end, this is going to be presented as a pseudo-royal, almost state visit."

Comparing the visit to one carried out by the Windsors in 1937, she told host Nana Akua that it "rebounded very adversely against them in Germany".

She added: "Let us hope that Meghan and Harry's visit to Nigeria doesn't turn out to be quite as farcical as the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to Germany in 1937, because ex-royals who have stepped down from their official position have really no right, and should act and have a duty to actually avoid embarking upon visits of this nature."

The royal commentator also claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are "begging for trouble" with the trip, and should "stay out" of royal visits in future.

Lady C fumed: "Meghan and Harry were given a year to decide they are out - they chose to be out and they should remain out.

"I think if this is a success, it's going to encourage them to do other visits of that nature. And then we'll have Harry and Meghan, the American royals, and then we'll have the Royal Family, the British royals."
