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.

As has been said on many an occasion, their draw was down to them once being linked to the RF.

Calling them from heaven to hell but still trying to cling on to that oh so poisonous establishment just doesn’t quite work.

They probably have a lot of good that they can do (unfortunately a hypocritical dismissal of online hatred doesn’t cut it for most) and I would applaud them if they went down the slebby good cause route of something they could throw themselves purely and honestly behind.

It isn’t to say that the causes they throw themselves behind aren’t worthy. They absolutely are.

The call me ma’am shite just showed the world what it was all about. As did the insistence of marching with veterans.

It wasn’t right.

With regards to the BBC - ‘We are no longer dealing in facts’ certainly caught my eye.

”“What happens online within a matter of minutes transfers to the streets. People are acting on information that isn’t true," the duke said.”

Never a truer word.

Most of the recent guff regarding the Royal Family started with Spare…

Why don’t the BBC get Mariana Spring to check the truth of everything Harry has said over the last couple of years? They won’t because they are complicit. It’s utterly absurd that AFP fact-checker or whatever they call themselves is actually in control of the sale of audio versions of the coverage. Orwellian pay to play “truth”. I couldn’t be more disgusted with the Sussexes and everyone who gets into bed with them.

Grim. I am sure whoever asked her to merch that outfit is delighted she’s sporting the sweaty crotch look for Summer ‘24. It might catch on amongst the SS I suppose.

EsioTrotlove · 16/08/2024 14:56

The VP’s outfit is lovely (even if she is not).

HurrayOhYes · 16/08/2024 14:59

The VP looks like the cat that got the cream. 🐱

GotATextInColombia · 16/08/2024 15:14

I have to say I am more fond of the VP’s outfit.

Much more airy.

Some materials are made for sitting about in.

Some clearly are not. Most wouldn’t make that mistake twice.

pearlfritillary · 16/08/2024 15:18

Just when I thought Harry couldn't sink any lower in my estimation. In my opinion, the utter t**t doesn't give a toss about the UK. Goodness I hope all funding for his security in the UK is withdrawn.

MrsFinkelstein · 16/08/2024 15:20

The #HarryandMeghaninColumbia is trending in the UK just now, so they've got the attention they ordered. It does seem to be driven by the same 3 - 4 accounts constantly tweeting.

Unfortunately, it's also jointly trending with #temutour.

Swings and roundabouts innit?

I'm currently reading Traitor King by Andrew Lownie and the parallels are fascinating. E & W also insisted on doing faux Royal Tours in the initial years after they left. They also got a huge amount of publicity from the Press. Unfortunately their choice of places to visit (Nazi Germany) was a tad problematic.

WW2 then impacted their ability to travel - though they did manage Spain & Portugal which we both heavily infiltrated by Nazis (& they tended to stay with Nazi sympathisers).

They found after the war the attention of the Press had shifted to the 2 Princesses, and they were increasingly irrelevant.

Plus ça change.

God that sweaty crotch outfit is truly awful.

Gorgonemilezola · 16/08/2024 15:30

They've been overtaken by mpox on twitter 😁

And Taylor Swift and Matthew Perry and Mollie May, and many, many other #

MummyJ12 · 16/08/2024 15:37

I may be wrong but I’m thinking that this tour isn’t getting the same amount of media coverage or attention as Nigeria at least.

JaneJeffer · 16/08/2024 15:50

Oh dear she should have stuck with the airy dress

ThePoshUns · 16/08/2024 15:50

Even the Daily Mail aren't interested.
The MSM should all agree to ignore them. Don't give them oxygen. I mean I'd miss the fun of watching them but would serve them right.

Twistybranch · 16/08/2024 15:52

Blake lively taking coverage too. However, I think BL may become an ambassador for the Harry and Meghan ‘ Be nice to me’ Social Media campaign at this rate. They’ve really turned on her. She makes Meghan look self aware and humble.

I think you’re right. The Nigeria tour was really the first, so lots of press but as time goes on I doubt it. It’s just the same old pics…literally

Megan in a Johanna Ortiz dress ✔️
Harry looking like a spare part ✔️
Meghan embracing the locals ✔️

and so on

Unless they open up to more media allowed on their tours, the press Interest will dwindle

Mylovelygreendress · 16/08/2024 16:01

Just looked at the DM . Top item is about Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson splitting then there are items about Molly someone , strikes and various other things with H and M way down the page .

Twistybranch · 16/08/2024 16:04

Oh yeh seen that too. What a week for celeb gossip. Nothing for a while (apart from ben/jen) and then three stories come at once.

Meghan and Harry are going to have to pull something out the bag to get the headlines back

BigWillyLittleTodger · 16/08/2024 16:08

Agreed it’s all fell a bit flat, it’s no different to the Nigerian “tour” just slightly different outfits. That brown outfit is awful and that’s before her sweaty pits and crotch.

Apparently it's Meghan offering an olive branch to Victoria Beckham as the brown shirt is one of hers 😂

Not sure VB will be impressed to have it splashed all over the papers complete with sweat patches.

OlympicWomen · 16/08/2024 16:18

They're competing with Love Island stars now, or whatever footballer currently hits the headlines. Doing a pretend royal tour, whatever they're merchandising, is really very dull. They're attracting attention because they're controversial, so they need to keep up the controversy.
So more interviews, books and mendacity would be my guess.

😂if I didn't know any better I'd think she was trying to damage VB's business with that mess! 😂
