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.

Why are you asking for something that no member of the Royal Family gave Meghan? As has been highlighted in many, many places Meghan received death threats and terrible racist coverage in our national media. Not once did a member of the RF speak up about it. Instead it was left to ordinary decent people, women MPs, other countries and the formation of an online group of Sussex supporters to speak out. As with any supporters many of the Sussex Squad are unpalatable and over the top. However, just as many Catherine fans go for Meghan regularly and have said vile, criminal stuff that has led to prosecutions. Meghan and Harry have asked for peace for Catherine and Meghan herself said Catherine was a good person. I think considering the royal family did not have her back it is more than anyone would do in her position. I’ve no doubt the UK is in her rear view mirror and she is carrying on with her own life. She shows up and does good, always has done throughout her life. Rehashing the past does not achieve anything either.

You missed out ‘also’ in the sentence. Let me correct that for you ;-) .

As has been highlighted in many, many places Meghan has received death threats and also terrible racist coverage in our national media.

Apart from that bit you’re right. Obsessed media are feeding an outrage about anything connected to Meghan and Harry. It’ll burn out eventually as all fires do with Meghan and Harry older, wiser, and richer. Their hearts are in the right place.

I know, right!
Imagine being in Palace PR and having someone ask you to make an official statement about dog poo!!!

With all their money I can’t understand why there is this insatiable need for attention and fame (but that’s probably because I have zero inclination for attention and fame, though I would like the money). It all seems a bit childish when you consider they’re middle aged parents of no discernible talents.

Chill, enjoy the Californian sunshine and your money and hang out with your children, to me that sounds like a blissful life.

ThePinkyFinger · 02/08/2024 13:58

When Harry was ‘in house’ he was active in trying to stem the tide of crap in the media. When it came to the severe headlines, he addressed it personally. The RF said nada to support him where it mattered and since then have shown their true colours.

As SussexSquad started on twitter to combat posters like MeghansMole, I’d hardly call the poster obscure either.

I’m not sure I’ve seen a couple whose hearts aren’t in the right place since Bonnie and Clyde. Are you sure their hearts are in the right place, serious question.

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.

What’s that got to do with the price of fish?

I agree that they have more than enough money to enjoy what by most people's standards would be a life of luxury.

The problem is, they don't want to live by most people's standards. They've chosen to make their home in one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in California. By those standards, they are paupers. And it's not obvious how they are going to fund that lifestyle indefinitely.

BemusedAmerican · 02/08/2024 14:05

There's a significant difference between Meghansmole and the SS. He doesn't have an organized group of cyber and in-person supporters. The RF aren't photographed making a special point of greeting and hugging them as they self-identify at special events.

My blood was up. 😜 Thanks. Sick to death of all the Sussex trolling. I think I’ll bow out now as it has become ridiculous and obvious that people just want the sport and entertainment of attacking them. I know you’re right about them having a heart and they do have a wonderful life now. It must be nice to be wanted - their profiles are so high that they are in demand everywhere. I look forward to the day when calm and peace descends and maybe the UK will get lucky and Meghan will return for a visit. I won’t hold my breath though as the stench of the tabloids lingers still.

Where is this terrible racist coverage from all the National papers, BBC and other British media outlets? Oprah couldn’t find any and had to make them up so it would be great if you could link all this terrible racist coverage from our national institutions.

Not everyone shares your perspective on the SussexSquad either, but it does make sense to go after it to try and break those who support them.

I'm sure Meghan can tell her her P and G story 🙄😂

Oh please god no! It might be interesting to see how her Spanish is, I wonder if she’ll take the opportunity to show off her fluency (or not).

Google is your friend and perhaps also visit specsavers. 🥸

No more from me. I’m out of here, forever.

Some of the things I’ve heard from SS are really despicable. I haven’t done a deep dive or anything as I’m not on X etc but just what trickles down is quite shocking.

As always the bingo card ‘google is your friend’ in other words you can’t! what a surprise! Specsavers is a new one, will add that to the card.

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.

Thanks for putting these up @MrsFinkelstein it really does shoot down the lies pedalled repeatedly on this thread.

I agree. It’s funny to think they’re the poor neighbours but it’s not as if Meghan grew up in a billionaire’s family and this is slumming it by comparison. So to my logic she should feel like she’s won the lottery, lots of money, a Prince (can’t really say handsome Prince but oh well) and two healthy children. For some though that is not enough. Personally I’d hate a hanging out with billionaires type lifestyle but she seems to love it.

From reading here a lot , I can answer the question about "racist " articles!
The two in question are
"Straight out of Compton" headline that may or may not have been written by an American journalist ( as most U.K. residents don't get it)
"Exotic blood" which was penned by boris Johnson's sister apparently ( who went on in a complimentary manner about how it would improve the rf )

And bonus sm comment from Danny baker
Who likened Archie to a monkey ( I never saw this as it was taken down and he was sacked)

BigWillyLittleTodger · 02/08/2024 14:26

Thanks @jeffgoldblum no wonder they had to flee for their lives!

jeffgoldblum · 02/08/2024 14:30

👍 @BigWillyLittleTodger, I'd like to point out that I personally have never read any of these articles, I don't normally read the press , so am just going on what actual evidence that was posted on here when repeated requests for evidence was actually provided!

jeffgoldblum · 02/08/2024 14:32

Ps I've worked in both boots opticians and spec savers for 25 years before I left and neither helped much with google ! 🤣
