This wouldn't be the first time royal commentators viewed the Sussexes' work overseas as an opportunity for the Duchess of Sussex to repair her image. OK! previously reported Tom Quinn discussed how traveling abroad to Africa might have been a good way to get back into the spotlight.

"Does Meghan mean she wants to be a role model who shows people how to become rich and famous?"

Despite the criticism, the director general of the World Trade Organization Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala praised the mom-of-two during her time in Lagos.

“She’s a role model for young women. She’s a woman who is not in an easy position, and people are looking to see how is she managing and navigating this," Okonjo-Iweala told an outlet. "That’s one of the things she brings: inspiration. You can see in spite of that, she’s a cheerful, warm personality, and everybody in the room took to her."
