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.

Thankfully my Succession reference was recognised! And I don't even watch the show, I just saw the quote all over my FYP.

@Spectre8 the implication is that the super wealthy/old money don't carry large/obviously designer bags. Only those who want to try to fit in and show they have money do.

I found a better photo of the 2nd dress.
Love the colours and the pattern. Hate the top. Not flattering - to anyone frankly. Don't like the thigh high split at the front.

I missed the reference completely!

Don't like that frock at all.

ThePoshUns · 15/08/2024 21:12

Lovely material but don't like the cut /style

GotATextInColombia · 15/08/2024 21:12

I am very much liking the reference to Succession. I haven’t watched so sadly didn’t get it initially.

Fitting really.

The pair of them have slid right down that pole. The succession one. Clearly.

A ludicrously capacious bag?

Her Receptacle Of Choice?

(MN in-joke of many, many years ago)

GotATextInColombia · 15/08/2024 21:23

Thank you for the clip MrsFinkelstein.

‘Gabbling about herself’ and ‘posting on social media’. ‘Ludicrously capricious bag’

‘Another tick on the chart’ indeed. Positively uncanny.

Quick. Hide the display towels.

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.

Well, nothing to pass off, she is rich!

Another pic of the dress, during a visit to a folklore centre.

I’m not wild about the dress, but think this print is the nicest version of the 3

Anyone know the Spanish for "I can relate to the poverty in your country, for I always got the smaller bedroom in whatever castle or palace I lived in"

🤣🤣🤣

Harry looks absolutely miserable as sin. How long can he carry on being dragged around by the hand like this?

Quite.
The use of reins would at least allow him the illusion of freedom.

I will never understand this perception that Harry is miserable. I've seen plenty of photos that say otherwise. I think some people desperately hope that he's miserable so that he can finally leave Meghan, return to England and marry the perfect english rose like Kate. Guess what? It's not happening.

I think the split up the front makes it look like there wasn’t enough fabric to join it together 😆

Do you? I'm not sure why you want to share that with me.
I'd rather he didn't return to England or anywhere else in the UK. I'm not really bothered about what else he does.

GotATextInColombia · 15/08/2024 21:43

Forsooth he is the epitome of joy. Not. It clearly doesnt show on his face. Which is odd as she always seems to be grinning away.

No desperately hoping here.

She can keep the girny faced hoor. Preferably in the US.

GotATextInColombia · 15/08/2024 21:44

Ah. Cross post LaMarschallin

Uncanny.

I'm going to give props to Meghan here wearing a Columbian designer. Even if I don't much it very much.

I do very much like Matthew Macfadyen so thank you for the Succesion clip!

No-one on here has suggested that. Harry and Meghan suit each other, I hope they stay together and stay away from the UK.

No I don’t want that to happen they are far too entertaining!

JADS · 15/08/2024 21:51

Say what you want: Harry looks miserable on these visits. He may be super happy when he's at home with the kids, larking about with the dogs, but he does look glum. His hair loss is also rather unfortunate.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 15/08/2024 21:54

So far it’s a carbon copy of the Nigeria visit, rinse and repeat.

Mylovelygreendress · 15/08/2024 21:54

Well I certainly don’t want him back here and I want them to stay together as they have young children.
Can you imagine the aftermath if they did split ??

What are they doing there? They represent neither the UK or the US and aren’t there to publicise a particular cause. It just looks like an expensive vanity trip benefitting nothing in particular.

HurrayOhYes · 15/08/2024 22:01

I don't know much about recent Columbian politics but it's a bit cringe of the VP to invite the Sussexes on a quasi royal visit. More shall be revealed soon, no doubt.
