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.

So true. The problem for the RF is Harry & Meghan are so much better at this stuff than anyone in the RF. Watch their tabloid lackeys go for them this week and people lap it up as per, but they can't change what we can all see - Harry and Meghan are naturals. You can understand why Charles/ William/ Camilla were so jealous but they've properly shot themselves in the foot by losing them. Good for Harry though, his life looks a LOT more enjoyable than his brother's and presumably that's now another layer to the problem.

More royal than royals - got that right 😂!

Almost as funny as ‘Princess Meghan’.

Almost.

I have to say it’s funny how the positive commentators have popped up and gone in to overdrive now the trip is underway. I was wondering how long it would take 😂😂

Royals often don't announce trips in advance for security reasons.

Why are these two private citizens - one of whom seems to think taxpayer funded specialist officers should be on standby just for him - informing the world about their travel plans?

To give you a reason to take to your keyboard again...and again...and again. You should be thanking them.

How amusing to learn that the entire world is not bitter 😂

Always entertaining, @smilesy .
I'm just disappointed that Their Royal Wonderfulnesses haven't made speeches yet. Here's hoping! 🤞

Who’s bitter? And what about? Amused and incredulous maybe but certainly not bitter 😆

Maybe one of them is putting off the Catherine Tate moment where their non-fluency in the Spanish language becomes glaringly obvious.

Btw I've just seen that it's tomorrow when H&M are due to meet with the Colombia Invictus team, along with VP Márquez.

See we have a few comedians joining the thread. Interesting that they all started posting in the last couple of hours

Not. suspicious. At. All

I just like them, that's all. Charles comes across as a spoilt, weak man who prioritised Camilla above everyone else including his wife and sons. William seemed a decent guy when younger but these days always looks angry or drunk. And does he ever do any work? Kate seems like a great mum with a lovely bond with her children but personality wise who knows? Harry is easily the most likeable and charismatic of them all, and Meghan has enhanced that.

I don't think Harry comes across as likeable these days.

Which in its way is a shame, because it's such a change from how he used to be seen.

And I think it's a good thing that we see only the public face of the Princess of Wales - very wise to keep your private life strictly private.

But the royals go on tour to represent the UK. What are the Sussexes doing on tour? They have no diplomatic clout. They represent nothing. A Royal tour isn’t about prancing about in twenty changes of outfit, being “huggy” and spouting meaningless nonsense.

This in spades.

Why oh why are they there? For what aim and purpose. Who exactly are they representing but themselves?

What do they want to achieve apart from self promotion?

It would be one thing if they quietly did this type of thing whilst actively promoting a good cause, but they keep turning things into a quasi royal ticket without the backing of representing the uk royal family. It just makes them and the situation ludicrous.

How much longer can they try and keep up this facade especially when they are now visiting a country that is so dubious and it’s been reported that they were invited following their Netflix coverage. That’s not exactly a great accomplishment and accolade.

I actually feel sorry (well kind of) for Harry being dragged into all of this as at least he should know from his background what is authentic and what’s a load of utter nonsense. He just seems to get dimmer and diminished by the day.

This is pretty nasty, what basis do you have for these comments? You can like celebrities you don’t actually know as much as you want.

That doesn’t mean you should broadcast your opinions about other famous people - you also don’t actually know.

Not unless you want to come across as mean and unpleasant yourself.

When people write crap like this you start to wonder what the ulterior motive is.

Literally observations over time, nothing more, nothing less. Just my impression, obviously I could be completely wrong. This whole thread/ talk section is literally speculation about people we don't know. I don't think I've written anything more unreasonable than other posters?

'William seemed a decent guy when younger but these days always looks angry or drunk.'

Observations? Where particularly are you observing this particular claim, because, tbh, I've never, ever seen a photo of William looking drunk these days. So I'm guessing you have some sort of ulterior motive in suggesting it.

The hope of $$ presumably.

You don't need to switch on the bullshit detector to spot the areas of a common script in use. It's like analysing the common sources used by the writers of the synoptic gospels, but actually less fun, which is saying something.

Twistybranch · 15/08/2024 23:32

Calling people drunk, angry? We haven’t done that at all, those are the words of someone who is most upset.
This is chat thread on M&H, it’s not deep and it certainly isn’t nasty.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 15/08/2024 23:35

Why do all the newbie’s on here sound the same? like they are talking off a script?
