Fiji media kept away from royal visit

Fiji media kept away from royal visit

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, arrive for a two-day visit on Tuesday.

Islands Business said only international media and staff from the government's Department of Information will be part of the press pool granted access to public engagements.

It said local media would be cordoned off at a distance, and will have to watch speeches via a TV outside the venue.

Islands Business said this is a far cry from how local media are treated when royals visit other countries.
