Prince Harry and Meghan Markle fans spot moment they 'became threat' to Royal Family
Fans of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle think they've pinpointed the moment they became a 'threat' to the Royal Family in a throwback video. The Sussexes, who stepped back as senior royals in 2020 and now call Montecito, California their home with their two kids, have been carving out their own path with numerous documentaries and Prince Harry's revelatory memoir.
However, before their departure and public revelations, they partook in official visits, including a trip to Fiji in 2018 that was incredibly well-received by locals. In a tweet from the visit, the Fijian Government praised, "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."de 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.
