Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle announced earlier this month they are planning a trip to the UK in September, but an expert claims senior royals are "likely not thrilled” about their planned visit.
Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, have said they will visit the UK next month to attend charity events. The Duchess of Sussex is a counsellor for the organisation, alongside Justin Trudeau, Sir Richard Branson, andJamie Oliver, among others.
They will then head to Germany for the Invictus Games Dusseldorf 2023 One Year to Go event, before returning to the UK for the WellChild Awards on September 8.
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield has claimed the trip may not help the strained royal relations.
Host of the To Di For podcast, Kinsey told the Daily Star: “Senior royals are likely not thrilled with today’s announcement."
She continued: "When the Sussexes vaguely accused a member of the royal family with being racist, started suing British media, sued the Government, and moved out of the country – monarchists were left feeling betrayed."
In Harry and Meghan's tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, Meghan claimed that there were conversations regarding the colour of her son Archie's skin.
The Duchess of Sussex told the chat show host that there were "concerns" over the colour of her son's skin within the Royal Family, but she refused to name the person who allegedly said it.
Harry and Meghan reunited with the Royal Family at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations earlier this year, which Kinsey believes was handled well by the pair.
She said: “I thought their behaviour during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee was superb. They were respectful and stayed under the radar.”
The royal expert believes the couple have many “opportunities in America”.
She went on: “There is so much opportunity for them in America.
“Why are they not capitalizing on the fact that Americans haven't been hit with Tom Bower or Valentine Low's allegations yet?

"I think their reputation has really taken a hit in the UK thanks to Bower's book – Revenge: Meghan Harry and the war between the Windsors – and the Sussexes have been suspiciously silent.
“They seem to poll well with the younger demo so maybe they are attempting to stay plugged in there."
OK! has contacted representatives for Harry and Meghan for comment.
Their September visit to the UK will be the first time they have been back in the country since the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in early June.
A spokesperson for the couple said: “Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are delighted to visit with several charities close to their hearts in early September.”
