H & M announce a visit to Colombia

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.

I really wish that Charles would have a word with some UK media editors and put a blanket ban on reporting about these two. Remove their oxygen at source. Everything they do is for attention and at this point, it's now obvious that they'll jump on any and every bandwagon for publicity. They are a disgrace pretending that they have anything to offer bereaved parents ffs.

The royals have already exercised control over media reporting - see TLQ vetoing later showings of (an admittedly rather dull) fly on the wall documentary made in the 60's, Willy demanding the Panorama interview with Diana is never aired again. BP dictating what can and can't now be shown of the coronation.

Intervening yet again would compound the already outrageous meddling.

OlympicWomen · 11/08/2024 20:40

No. They don't meddle in the media. They have no control, otherwise they'd get a lot more favourable coverage than they do.
What you are referring to, @CathyorClaire is a documentary from 1969 called "Royal Family".
The King owns the copyright. They don't want it shown, for their own reasons.
That is completely different from controlling the press.
Anyone with any wit can see that the RF do not exercise control, however much the very confused Harry may insist. He is wrong. On this and, sadly, much else.

OlympicWomen · 11/08/2024 20:42

I'm not surprised "Willy" (sic) doesn't want that awful Bashir interview shown again. His vulnerable mother was deceived into making it, and it had terrible consequences.
Anyone with any heart can see that.
That's not controlling the media.

Oh, bad news for you - I've seen that it's on YouTube!
Does that mean that Charles doesn't control YouTube?!

CathyorClaire · 11/08/2024 20:47

His vulnerable mother was deceived into making it

She was desperate to get her side across and was offered a credible platform to do it. She didn't need to be manipulated into it and later stated she stood by every word.

I know it's on YT. I've seen it.

Once again. Link to Charles owning the copyright?

Ya got me! No link my friend. I read it somewhere, could be wrong.
So you've seen it on YouTube, so obviously his tentacles of control don't extend that fat 😂

You can probably find it on YouTube. I don't think William's tentacles extend that far.
So much for them controlling the media.
Although someone on here did suggest they were behind "South Park".....

Solid evidence. Thanks 🙂

Doesn't make it any less appalling that much touted 'figureheads in name only' can exercise this kind of veto over media content paid for by their subjects.

We can only thank goodness YT is outside their clutches,

OlympicWomen · 11/08/2024 21:13

It is indeed outside their clutches! Like Netflix and so many other media outlets.......

Sad to think we can't rely on an unleaned on and licence payer funded Auntie to tell the unvarnished tale though 🙁

She didn't know she was lied and coerced if I was presented with evidence backing up the thoughts from the back of my mind I would not necessarily be truthful in my public responses

Bit like Oprah removing the Harry and Meghan interview perhaps?

Exactly that!

sausawyee · 11/08/2024 23:46

There have seemingly been several assassination attempts on Francia. Although that is allegedly used as the reason for the helicopter trips .

sausawyee · 11/08/2024 23:46

I won't lie - I will be interested to see the fashion show.

Whaaaat? 😉

Didn't she remove it because it showed what a spineless sycophant she was?

Wouldn't be surprised if the Harolds hadn't discouraged her in scrubbing it though.

FloofPaws · 12/08/2024 19:00

@CathyorClaire I'm not abreast of who is and isn't talking to M&H at the moment but I think I've heard Oprah isn't - I somewhat suspect, her utterly pathetic excuse foe interviewing them, then almost immediately the lies and cracks stated showing, that she's utterly enraged by the pair of 🤡 because her integrity took a massive hit

BasiliskStare · 12/08/2024 19:57

I think this trip will divide people. I think they like to travel and be feted . But think about Columbia and its president . I do think they think are owed Royal tours but the longer it goes on the more I think they are becoming the Duke and Duchess of Windsor - ie increasingly irrelevant . But Columbia - OK paid for by someone else - but you won't go to Windsor. It is just my opinion but they seem to be coming across as a bit hubristic.

OlympicWomen · 12/08/2024 22:39

Well, their new Chief of Staff, Josh Kettler, has quit just before their "royal tour"!

After only 3 months!
