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 would put money on it. Just not sure who will be footing the bill because it won’t be them.
I can’t imagine there will be commercial flights available direct from the US due to the advice not to travel there.

Both United and American Airlines are both still serving Bogota non-stop from the US out of Dallas and Houston…nothing direct from the west coast AFAIK.

MummyJ12 · 15/08/2024 17:28

Oh maybe they did fly commercial? Was there a flight that landed at 10:30 local time @notimagain? Happy to be wrong!

Way off the mark then since she isn't wearing any jewellery from what I can see in thay picture and definitely nothing floaty

She is wearing earrings, at least 3 items on her left wrist and rings .

Manypaws · 15/08/2024 17:33

Do they need to hold hands at every event?

Give it time….there will be more costume changes than a showgirl in Vegas

😂

GotATextInColombia · 15/08/2024 17:14

Wonder how they feel about Moll and Tom headline grabbing today?

Time to slap on the bronzer and a grin.

Oh wait…

😂

Manypaws · 15/08/2024 17:33

@OlympicWomen and that's just Harry

ThePoshUns · 15/08/2024 17:40

Her outfit is quite nice and appropriate for a change.
ROFL at the invite on the back of the Netflix documentary!

Yes. It's their rule.

Is it just me who doesn’t understand it, in which capacity are they there. I, finding it really weird. It feels like they are acting like working royals. And Columbia is pretending to beleive they are. But just why?

GotATextInColombia · 15/08/2024 17:43

OlympicWomen · 15/08/2024 17:41

I think it might be Harry’s rule.

Just to ensure he is included and that.

Good question. No idea.

The only candidate around that time would be an Avianca (the Colombian national carrier) flight from Miami…bit of a long way around from LA but who knows.

I’ll dig a bit deeper and see if there was any sign of any business jets arriving at around the same time but the details of those can sometimes be hidden from the tracking apps.

I agree that it's a good look. She looks great in navy. It also seems to actually fit her, which is rare.

I do think the whole thing is bizarre however. A VP inviting private individuals on the basis of a 'documentary'?

Just waiting for the VP to start a ‘Save the Bears’ campaign because she watched Paddington.

Sidenote: The new Paddington film looks brilliant

Maybe their next 'tour' will be to darkest Peru?

Well something has changed because she looks much better.

Harry has such a grim expression though. Perhaps the stylist could find him a smile.

They’re too busy looking for his hair

JADS · 15/08/2024 18:27

I really like the trousers, fabulous shape for her. The top is better but still a bit odd.

Navy is a great colour on her.

Sandwichgen · 15/08/2024 18:32

Love the Mail’s headline: ‘Welcome Meghan!’

not a mention of Harry

that style of long waistcoat is all the rage this summer, replacing the more standard waistcoat of last summer - because God forbid we should be able to wear the same clothes two summers running.

it’s not a style I like but it fits well, suits her, and feels
much more appropriate than the Nigeria wardrobe.
