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.

The newspapers here are embarrassing the UK, at this rate we will run out of foreign goodwill!! No one likes us much as it is. 😂

'I think considering the royal family did not have her back it is more than anyone would do in her position'

The RF generally don't comment. However, in an unprecedented gesture, Prince William supported his brother in his statement made shortly after Harry and Meghan’s relationship became public.

While Meghan has undoubtedly been on the receiving end of vicious social media outpouring, these haven't come from a body of people who have been named and publically thanked, and taken on pseudo royal tours by any members of the rf. Unlike Catherine's vicious attacks by the Sussex Squad. You honestly don't think members of the rf are on the receiving end of death threats?

Harry and Meghan are actively engaged in both humanitarian and philanthropy which is commendable

could you give examples of this, please?

paperrockscissors · 02/08/2024 13:11

They aren’t working members of the royal family anymore so shouldn’t have security funded by the British Royal Family anymore. They made the decision to leave. Surely they would have considered the implications of doing so before they came to that decision.

The taxpayer funds working royals. However, Harry (and his family) would get good and effective taxpayer funded protection when in the UK. The King funds any extras for family who aren't funded where necessary.
Harry's argument is therefore with RAVEC and the Home Office, because (understandably) decisions are made my the security services, not the RF. So, it's nothing to do with the King.

Meghan received death threats and terrible racist coverage in our national media

The National media were threatening to kill Meghan? Goodness me I never spotted those in the papers, and what racist articles?? What actual racist articles did the papers, the BBC and other outlets run? I’m very curious because Oprah herself couldn’t find any from Britain and had to make them up from foreign press claiming they were from the UK so as you appear to know otherwise do enlighten us.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 02/08/2024 13:20

just as many Catherine fans go for Meghan regularly and have said vile, criminal stuff that has led to prosecutions.

What crimes have been committed towards Meghan in Catherine’s name please? I have not seen anyone prosecuted because they are a Catherine fan so I would be really interested to see links to this.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 02/08/2024 13:22

I've never clicked on Celebitchy before and know why now, after reading that "the UK seems to believe that the Sussexes should not receive any security… unless authorized by Charles and Camilla, and even then, there’s a good chance that “the palace” will leak the Sussexes’ whereabouts and go out of their way to put them in danger"

Or how to display ignorance and paranoia in one easy lesson ...

Christ on a bike! Just how more ludicrous can things get?

The Summer of Love is having the opposite effect on me.

Everyone I know either ignores the Sussexes or wants a second South Park episode. 😁

BemusedAmerican · 02/08/2024 13:27

Just invision the new South Park episode with an updated privacy tour. Jamaica, Nigeria, Colombia, the cocaine hippos...

BigWillyLittleTodger · 02/08/2024 13:27

These are all excellent points and accurate

Just because @ThePinkyFinger points suit your narrative does not make them true.

You don't see the irony in quoting an extremely nasty, obsessive hate site, whose contributers believe Kate is faking her diagnosis, as an authority on another country's supposedly hateful media?

When you have to quote an article from a vicious, nasty and spiteful online rag to support your narrative you have already lost, do better next time.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 02/08/2024 13:37

I didn't know that site was claiming Kate is faking her diagnosis, @IcedPurple, but then as said I've never looked at it before and won't be doing again

You have to wonder, though, who'd read this arrant nonsense and actually believe it

Meghansmole on twitter is just one example of an extreme supporter of Catherine who makes vile, abusive comments and deliberately baits anyone who supports the Sussex family. He has many, many followers. He is very much a Royal Family fan as well as being ahorrent and odious in what he puts out into the world.

Why are you telling us about an obscure Twitter site?

Has anyone here quoted it as some sort of authority, complete with laughing emojis? Someone has recently done that for a foul hate site.

MrsFinkelstein · 02/08/2024 13:46

Once again posting proof that the RF and BP did correct untrue stories about H&M.
What they didn't do was respond to gossip, or generally negative stories. Because they never do.
William also put out a statement condemning press intrusion towards Meghan.

That's a single poster on SM.
They are not affiliated with any official media organisation or to the Palace.
What's your point?
Scummy people inhabit SM. We know.
Edit to add - no one here on MN has ever referred to that SM poster as in anyway positive or someone to listen to. They promote vile conspiracy theories. Neither have BP or the RF involved him in any documentary they've produced or employed him in anyway.
