During a past trip to Southern Africa in 2019, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, accompanied by their son Archie, visited various countries, including South Africa, Angola, and Malawi. This journey marked a pivotal moment for the couple as they contemplated their future within the royal family.
Sky News Royal Editor Rhiannon Mills, who had previously interviewed Prince Harry during his solo trip to New Zealand, found herself at the receiving end of his ire during their time in Malawi. After attempting to ask him a question about the significance of his visit, Prince Harry dismissed her with a curt response, leaving Mills feeling embarrassed and regretful.
Following this incident, the couple made headlines by announcing legal actions against a UK newspaper upon their return to Johannesburg. Subsequently, a documentary aired on ITV where Prince Harry opened up about his strained relationship with Prince William, and Meghan shared her feelings of neglect during that period.
After a series of significant events, including a decision to step back as senior royals and relocate to the United States, it was revealed that Mills would transition from her on-camera role to becoming a senior media advisor at Buckingham Palace. Renowned for her extensive coverage of the royal family over the years, Mills is praised for her astuteness, quick wit, and profound understanding of royal affairs.
As Mills embarks on this new chapter in her career, she brings a wealth of experience in broadcasting and digital storytelling to her role, promising to offer valuable insights and expertise in her position at the palace.
