A royal expert believes he has exposed the real reason behind Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s tour of Australia – and it’s not to improve their public image. Meghan and Harry are currently Down Under, visiting Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney – and Meghan even made an appearance as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia
Over on TalkTV, however, host Kevin O’Sullivan was left with a sour taste as he spoke to former royal editor Charlie Rae live on the programme. O’Sullivan said: “Two private citizens are pretending to stage a royal tour. Alison Pearson in the Telegraph this morning in her column said, ‘To Harry and Meghan – stop pretending to be royal, it’s embarrassing’. It is, isn’t it?”
Rae responded: “It is embarrassing and I wish people would stop referring to it as a royal tour. It’s not a royal tour – it’s a tour by hinge and bracket by people who are just there to make money.
“I’ve said to you before, I’ve got no problem with them making money, none whatsoever. Make as much as you want. But stop using your royal links and your royal titles to get that money.
“We saw that clip from MasterChef Australia, where that presenter seemed to be floating on air and going doolally, ‘Oh, it’s Meghan, Duchess of Sussex!’ And you just think, ‘Oh, give us a break’.”

Rae added the jibe: “I don’t know what week this is on MasterChef Australia – is it jam week?”
As O’Sullivan quipped: “It’s dry sprinkled flower week, so they got Meghan in.”
It comes after royal commentator Kinsey Schofield suggested there is a “sinister” reason behind the tour on Kevin’s programme, fuming: “These two are not working royals and yet they pursued an appearance at a venue that has history with Queen Elizabeth II. That was intentional, that royal hospital.
“I think there is something very sinister about using dying children and the homeless as props to try to salvage what’s left of your brand.”
