I find it odd that 6th in line the throne is basically doing a huge commonwealth tour around the same time as Charles commonwealth tour of Africa. But the future king after Charles, hasn’t, and hasn’t even visited Fiji yet. Wtf is going on with William and Kate. They still don’t want to take on the roles of future king and queen, Meghan and Harry basically have done all the work, they have visited four countries in 16 days: why don’t they give that work to wills and Kate?!

Harry and Meghan (Commonwealth Youth Ambassador)TOTAL COUNTRIES VISITED: 22Number of visits to Commonwealth nations: 18Number of Commonwealth nations visited: 15Number of nations outside the Commonwealth visited: 8Number of nations visited with different monarchy: 1

What does this all mean?

Charles, as the next (and arguably imminent) King, has his own set of requirements set forth by The Royal Family that are different than those delegated to the Cambridges or Sussexes. He is not really relevant in this conversation.

Her Majesty’s government has a strategy. That strategy is to promote William and Catherine as the future King and Queen of the United Kingdom. Part of that is developing a working relationship with people outside of your realm. It is for this reason that William and Catherine have been embarking on more tours of places with different monarchies (Sweden, Norway, Bhutan, Jordan) and more visits to places with charged political landscapes (China, Japan, Israel, Vietnam, the Occupied Palestinian Territories). It will be their responsibility as King and Queen to maintain and develop these relationships in the coming years. Note that the frequency and intensity of these visits was amplified significantly after William’s departure from EAAA, Philip’s retirement, and the Cambridges’ permanent relocation to Kensington Palace. The Queen’s interest with respect to the royal calendar for the Cambridges is to prepare them to be King and Queen. It is for this reason they do not tour Commonwealth nations as often as, say, Harry does. They do not have to nurture that relationship - that is what Harry and Meghan are for, as of Harry’s appointment as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador. They don’t give as many Commonwealth tours to William and Catherine because that’s not what their primary focus is or should be.

Harry was appointed the Commonwealth Youth Ambassador - his most significant appointment to date - in April of 2018. In this role, he needs to continue to reinforce and nurture the existing relationships between the UK and the rest of the Commonwealth. Meghan joined that role upon her marriage in 2018. He doesn’t have to venture outside of the Commonwealth because his role within the Commonwealth is both important and well-defined.

The Royal Family has split the Cambridge and Sussex international duties to focus beyond the realm of the Commonwealth and explicitly within the realm of the Commonwealth, respectively. Based on this empirical data, it seems that William and Catherine have absolutely taken seriously their role as future King and Queen - evidenced by their visiting more countries overall, more countries with different monarchies, more countries with politically charged climates, and fewer Commonwealth nations. Harry and Meghan have done outstanding work within the Commonwealth, which is exactly in line with their duties as The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and for Harry’s duty as the Commonwealth Youth Ambassador.

In conclusion, you’re wrong. William and Catherine have done plenty of work to prepare themselves as the future King and Queen of the United Kingdom on an international scale. Harry and Meghan will devote a large majority of their international work for the rest of their lives supporting the Commonwealth, while hardly ever venturing outside, I would imagine. Each couple is actively working towards the end goals set for them by the well-oiled machine that is the monarchy. To have each couple overlap their goals is inefficient - why bother? They each have their different areas of expertise under control, as evidenced by the data I have compiled above.

Next time you want to argue facts, then please bring facts to the table. Your objective rhetoric pales in comparison to empirical data collection. Check your facts, sweetheart. You’re wrong.
