That's true. The hyped up "Royal Tour" articles that ignore the fact that the "tour" is not on behalf of the UK Govt. and the Sussexes having not been working Royals for several years...as the media knows fully well.
There could be public backlash at the media for promoting the "royal tour" as it may bring up questions about the possible use of taxpayer funds.
The trip could backlash on the Sussexes in light of the global situation. Flying to Australia on what is essentially a holiday with perks during a global economic crisis could really turn on them.

An aside: It's being reported that the King's State Visit to the US in April may be in doubt due to the events at this time.
