At the time, Harry told People magazine: “It is hugely important for us to meet directly with people, supporting our causes and listening, in order to bring about solutions, support and positive change.”
He added: “There’s only so much one can do from home and over Zoom, so we look forward to travelling more because the work matters.
“Whether it’s the Archewell Foundation, Invictus or any of our other causes, there will always be reasons to meet the people at the heart of our work.”

But now a royal commentator based in Australia has blasted the couple’s plans and called them out for “contradicting themselves”, because they highlighted their need for privacy on several occasions.
Sky News Australia contributor Louise Roberts said more tours around the world would put them in the spotlight, contrary to the “more peaceful life” they sought to have.
The couple were known to have stepped back from senior royals for a life of privacy in the US. So far, details of which country they will visit next, or when they may embark on such a trip, is unknown.
Ms Roberts said: “In May, after their successful ‘faux royal tour’, Harry made the comment that they want to do more of this, so there’s the people who were obsessed with their privacy, but a world tour of course is a direct contradiction to that.”
She added: “We have no details of where they’ll go, they can’t go where Charles and Camilla will go, obviously they can’t come to Australia. What would the upshot be? Will it just be another branding exercise? Another Netflix exercise? Who knows. Is it just material, or is it actually getting to meet the people of the Commonwealth?”
Back in 2021 and during the couple’s infamous Oprah Winfrey interview, Meghan said all she and Harry wanted after they quit the Royal Family and moved to America in 2020 was a “basic right to privacy”.
