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.

Interesting timing 🤔

Chief of Staff these two really think they are on par with the President don’t they 😂

For the love of Betsy - these two just ( I think ) are trying to create their own RF with foreign trips where they are welcomed as VIP Royal people. But I think they have chosen unwisely . Had they remained in the WRF they could have had so many things where they could have pursued things close to heir heart. Did the Late Queen not offer them a Commonwealth position.

I think they are squandering goodwill by going on these faux "royal" trips. The President of Columbia is not well thought of in many ways , I think. & I do think it makes Harry's claim that bringing his family of to the UK ridiculous.

3 months!

I mean surely that’s still under some sort of a probation period?

Usually people stick it out for a year because they don’t want it to look bad on their CV.

Must be really bad for him to go

They really must be horrendous to work for.

Many of the asylum seekers in NYC are from Colombia. The optics of H & M doing another fashion show in Colombia while US citizens are funding refugees in shelters is really bad.

It reminds me of the Duke of Windsor accepting an invitation to visit 1930s Germany, because he wanted to give Wallis a "royal tour" type experience.

Not that I'm comparing the Colombian government to the National Socialists. More that it's all form over function and upside down motivations.

I know! It's so funny. Does Kim Kardashian have a Chief of Staff?

I wonder if they realise this yet or are so un self aware that they think they just have flakey staff.

Quite!

After all, it's not Meghan's job to coddle people (as she said when pulled up for her treatment of staff at Kensington Palace)!

But she went a bit teary when people forgot to ask how she was, on a foreign tour.

I read Harry isn't attending his Uncles funeral in the UK, citing 'security reasons', yet has no problem in taking his beloved wife to Colombia. He has tied himself in so many knots he's like a pretzel.

What funeral is this?

Richard Fellowes? Must be one his aunts husband on the Spencer side.

People magazine (M&Hs mouthpiece) has put out the decision was mutual

yeh……ok

Oh yes, the husband of Diana's sister, Jane. I think he was the late Queen's private secretary or similar? That's really poor not to go to his funeral.

He just doesn’t want to run onto William and no one wants him there because it will cause a lot of upset and tension. Can’t attend funerals or weddings it seems. What a mess.

There’s an article in the telegraph too saying that H&M are being badly advised re this Colombia trip. I suspect because he is leaving just before the trip, he wants nothing to do with it.

I’m sure it’s the latter .

How awful. Imagine making such a mess of things.

Well I hope they take this opportunity to look beyond hiring white males…..and look to diversify their staff. practice what you preach and all that.

Their chief of staff has just resigned after three months. Another one bites the dust…

The pay disparity between their top white male and top female of colour staff members (in equal
roles) has also been huge.

Something's going wrong somewhere....

I am also reading that Meghan’s cookery show won’t be shown until - possibly- mid 2025 . That seems a long time to wait given that it is linked to ARO launch .

Her facade of integrity. If she really had integrity in the first place she would have conducted a proper interview with fact checking. She’s mad because it revealed what Oprah is really like. She lost a lot of respect and fans after that. I can’t stand the sight of her anymore but liked her a lot before that tv disaster and her pathetic whaaat crap.
