Prince Charles fears his comments criticising Priti Patel's migrant policy will drown out his Commonwealth message during a trip to Rwanda, according to reports.
The Prince of Wales will represent the Queen when prime ministers gather in Kigali next week for the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting.
It marks the first such meeting he has attended since being named the next head of the association in 2018 and the first time a royal has travelled to the country.
