H & M announce a visit to Colombia

[ShamedBySiri]

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announce they will visit Colombia

mol.im/a/13698271

Another country on the "Don't travel" list.

"But the UK and US governments have both issued security alerts over travelling to Colombia amid fears over crime, terrorism, civil unrest and kidnapping - and Harry's decision to visit comes amid his ongoing battle for his security when in Britain.
The UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office 'advises against all but essential travel to parts of Colombia'. And the US Department of State issued a travel advisory for Colombia stating: 'Reconsider travel due to crime and terrorism. Exercise increased caution due to civil unrest and kidnapping. Some areas have increased risk.'"

Perhaps he thinks this is the way to get his security reconsidered? Personally I'd say the opposite.
If he still had UK security I'd expect them to do a risk assessment and say "NO".
Why should security personnel be put at risk by being required to travel to these dangerous destinations.

Sorry to see you go @ThePinkyFinger but I do understand why. Unfortunately, there is too much anti Meghan sentiment on here at times.

If you’re reading this and want to know how Meghan has been utterly and completely debased by some people on social media look no further than this person, another Catherine fan who has single-handedly helped perpetuate medical diagnoses about Meghan

We are aware now of the extent and depth of the Meghan trolling and many are working away quietly in the background to help make the internet a much better environment. I wish you well and all those SussexSquad supporters who do not cross over the line into wrongdoing. Two wrongs do not make a right, ever.

Indeed it is very toxic for women to discuss Harry and Meghan

Aww, don’t go @ThePinkyFinger. There is a lot of support here for Meghan and Harry still. We know they are far from perfect as everyone is and plenty understand their sound strides in the philanthropic arena. I think some in the UK remain vexed as they feel Harry and Meghan could have handled matters differently. I know that I do not respect the reporter who interviewed Meghan and asked if Meghan was okay. He knew she wasn’t and had been struggling. I think she responded honestly and placed too much importance on that relationship. The problem with any kind of depression is that when someone is nice and seems to care it can have a big impact and we can respond too sincerely. He wasn’t as interested as he made out and from that moment on a successful tour was hijacked by the media. He did the same to Harry. Both did not think what they were saying through and every misstep since has just poured more opprobrium upon them via multiple platforms. It is a long climb back but they are doing just that. Forging ahead with brilliant support in surprising places at times. Let’s hope K Harris wins the Presidency and the renegade royal duo 😉 receive an invite to dinner. Better still an award 🥇 (that’ll pee off the naysayers no end).

Safe travels around the interwebs, choose wisely with whom you interact.

None, IIRC

So shouting the same accusation for 2 articles (plus one SM post which led to the author being sacked) isn't persuasive.

Nor is mentioning the prosecutions re death threats, unless of course it's properly contextualised in terms of those received by all royals - just a few examples that spring to mind: Prince George
Man who urged Prince George attack given life sentence - BBC News or who were attacked (Princess Anne kidnap attempt) or other events such as break in to the Queen's bedroom.

The main Sussex gripe seems to be that the Palace doesn't engage with image management. They just keep churning out the same positive stuff about what the working royals are up to.

Better still an award 🥇

I agree. As the saying goes 'Be careful what you wish for'. The last one didn't go down very well and in the US no less -(so much for UK bias against Harry), and then Mr Reid left.

I know that I do not respect the reporter who interviewed Meghan and asked if Meghan was okay.

She will have approved the questions and prepared her answer in advance.

To think otherwise is to be naive about how royal/celeb interviews work.

We are aware now of the extent and depth of the Meghan trolling and many are working away quietly in the background to help make the internet a much better environment.

This is fascinating. Who are the “many” and how are they “working away quietly in the background”?

'many are working away quietly in the background to help make the internet a much better environment.'

Tell you what, they're going to have their work cut out for them with the Sussex Squad.......

Where would you even start?

When that letter Harry wrote berating all the negative press about Meghan had my first thought was ‘who?, never heard of her’. That was the first time she came into my consciousness. I honestly wasn’t aware of any bad headlines, not saying there weren’t (I don’t know) I just thought his statement seemed rather random.

It's not an airport lounge @ThePinkyFinger .

Yes, me too.

I remember thinking what bad headlines because at that point it had all been positive. Turns out he was talking about online trolls….but was happy to let everybody think it was the press because of his vendetta. This is also why the RF couldn’t do anything, after H and M said they wouldn’t speak out. What on earth can the RF do about trolls? Nothing.

They were disingenuous from the very start

I say 😂😂😂🤗

I'm a Tom Bower gal.

As in, she pushed Harry to put out that statement, not because she was getting So Much Attention And Couldn't Cope, but because not enough people had noticed he had a new GF.

She really accelerated that relationship.

Well if I’m anything to go by she was right lol, the statement certainly got her the attention she wanted. She’s been chasing attention ever since. Personally I couldn’t be doing with it, all seems rather pointless and shallow really.

That’s interesting and explains why I was ‘who?’. I‘m sure the online trolls could have been horrendous but Harry has never made that clear, he’s always made out it was the press. The dishonesty doesn’t surprise me judging by what we’ve seen of the real Harry since they left.

I wouldn’t recommend you holding your breath till Meghan is welcome, it’ll be a long wait. 😁

They work through Archewell

What do you make of the empty offices at Archewell's registered address?

Oh dear, oh dear. What a toxic mix.

I saw this and immediately checked to see if H & M made a statement about this situation and the people who were killed earlier this week. Still waiting.

BTW, please let me know if I missed it. I'm not on X and I stay away from Tik-Tok.

Excellent article, thanks for sharing x
