Sussexes Face Backlash Over Colombia Visit Despite Security Concerns
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been labelled 'desperate' for planning a tour to Colombia, perceived as a move to regain media attention. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are scheduled to visit the country following an invitation from Colombia's vice president, Francia Marquez, in the coming months.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told Express.co.uk that the couple is striving to be recognised as serious thought leaders. She remarked, "They will travel, no matter what the security concerns are, to any country willing to give them a platform, cater to their ego, and pander to the narrative they're trying to create."
It's worth noting that both UK and US officials have warned Harry and Meghan about potential security threats in Colombia. Despite these warnings, the couple has faced criticism from royal commentators for perceived double standards, expressing security concerns about the UK while planning to visit a potentially dangerous region.
