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.

What's it got to do with people in London?
Who says it's "in your face"?

Well lots of people I see where I live e wear that amount of jewellery if not more so to say well she is going to wearing s ton of jewellery isn't really true is it considering its not more than what alot of people wear anyway

I mean fancy picking on a woman for wearing jewellery like it's a bad thing

Eh? Who's picking on her?
Someone made a guess about an outfit, that's all.

Manypaws · 15/08/2024 20:38

She didn't mention a ton of jewellery, she commented on the value of it

Very strange to describe that as picking on a woman

Meghan looks lovely, that's a weirdly large bag for the occasion. Maybe the bag is the gift?

I hope they achieve something positive for those they are visiting.

A ludicrously capacious bag?

AutumnCrow · 15/08/2024 20:42

Spectre8 · 15/08/2024 17:07

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

Oh yes she is!

Strange indeed.

Does it mean that though?

I shall answer by the medium of gif.

I just can't see why she needs a bag that big, so maybe it was the gift?

I don't know. I mean I really hope this is a good visit for them but I find it hard to really take much interest, it's like watching any celebrity doing charity. I hope it goes well and it's productive but that's it

Mylovelygreendress · 15/08/2024 20:46

Change of outfit . Someone on Twitter called her Mrs Temu

That dress looks like it has a pointy bra top.

GotATextInColombia · 15/08/2024 20:48

The pattern is lovely.

The old dress adage springs to mind though.

Bangers or pins. Not both.

MrsLeonFarrell · 15/08/2024 20:48

She really likes tops that don't have much to them. Maybe she is menopausal like me and always hot?

GotATextInColombia · 15/08/2024 20:49

I’m waiting for the Colombian school kids to pop up. Everyone else is covered.

Oversized bags is the spring/ summer trend this year so 💁‍♀️

GotATextInColombia · 15/08/2024 20:53

The ludicrously capacious bag is probably for the 43 jars of jam that didn’t make it to Instagram on the way in.

And duty free on the way back.

Called it earlier. It’s a Johanna Ortiz - Navajo Weaver.

BackToWhereItAllBegan · 15/08/2024 20:54

Is it the same as the Hertz gold dress and the zebra print she wore in Nigeria, just in a different pattern?

MummyJ12 · 15/08/2024 20:54

Exactly @BackToWhereItAllBegan

GotATextInColombia · 15/08/2024 20:57

And Harry is sporting a creased suit and his Beyonce concert face.

Always nice to see things getting a second airing.

MummyJ12 · 15/08/2024 20:59

Polyester in that heat….?! Not great.

You don’t get the reference do you?

Its a sign of the Nouveau riche

MummyJ12 · 15/08/2024 21:01

Nouveau riche - how gauche!

GotATextInColombia · 15/08/2024 21:02

It is perhaps full of extra sausages.

Got to keep him happy somehow.

Twistybranch · 15/08/2024 21:04

Omg!

I was just reading the guardian article about the ludicrously capacious bags

This is the line from the article that meghan must have read, stating that old money go for heritage brands:

It’s old money rather than a nouveau aesthetic. Heritage luxury brands such as Loro Piana, Max Mara and Brunello Cucinelli epitomise it

She’s so desperate to try and pass off ‘rich lady’ look.

Yes, the same. This dress looks similar, just another pattern. Johanna Ortiz is Colombian.
