Meghan Markle's latest royal trip has been slammed by Lady Colin Campbell, as the Duchess of Sussex has snubbed the UK for a visit to Nigeria.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are to set to visit the African nation after being invited by the country's Chief of Defence staff.
This also comes as Meghan recently discovered she is also "43 per cent Nigerian" and wants to "discover her roots".
Despite the planned trip, Meghan has chosen not to accompany Harry to the UK, where he celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games in London yesterday.

Speaking to GBN America, Lady C claimed that the couple should "avoid embarking upon visits of this nature".
The royal commentator compared the visit to one carried out by the Windsors in 1937, and told host Nana Akua that it "rebounded very adversely against them in Germany".
Lady C revealed: "Let us hope that Meghan and Harry's visit to Nigeria doesn't turn out to be quite as farcical as the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to Germany in 1937.
"Ex-royals who have stepped down from their official position have really no right, and should act and have a duty to actually avoid embarking upon visits of this nature."

Lady C hit out at the couple, stating: "Meghan and Harry were given a year to decide they are out - they chose to be out and they should remain out.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
"I think if this is a success, it's going to encourage them to do other visits of that nature. And then we'll have Harry and Meghan, the American royals, and then we'll have the Royal Family, the British royals."
In discussion with Nana Akua about the trip, Lady C also claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are "begging for trouble" with the trip.
Lady C highlighted: "And let us note that they have announced that it is His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex, notwithstanding the fact that he is not allowed to use the title His Royal Highness.
"So from the Nigerian end, this is going to be presented as a pseudo-royal, almost state visit."

Reacting to her decision to miss the Invictus Games service, Lady C told host Nana Akua she is "delighted" that the Duchess has had the "good sense to not show up".
She added that if Meghan were to have attended the service with Harry, it would have become "a dog and pony show, where it's all about her and Harry".
Defending those involved in the Invictus Games, Lady C claimed: "I'm glad that she's not going, so at least the focus will be on the Invictus Games."
