So, did Meghan and Harry really fail to impress the kids in Colombia? According to The Daily Mail, that’s exactly what happened. The publication reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen enjoying a performance by Colombian folk dancers, but their earlier encounter with the schoolchildren was described as lackluster. The children were reportedly “bored,” and their disinterest was not hard to miss.
During their four-day visit to Colombia, Meghan and Harry attended a vibrant performance at the Deia Zapata National Center for the Arts. Yet, the day started with a less-than-enthusiastic reception from the local schoolchildren. The Daily Mail didn’t mince words, describing the kids as looking “bored.”
Twitter users had a field day with this. One user shared a humorous take, joking that the children looked as if they were forced to sit next to “an evil-looking woman” and suggesting they might need help. Another tweet compared the experience to being in North Korea, implying that the children's reactions were unusually severe.
There were also comments about Meghan’s demeanor. Some felt she appeared condescending, adding to the children’s apparent discomfort. Royal News Network remarked that the children seemed unimpressed by the “cosplay Royals,” reinforcing the idea that Meghan and Harry's visit didn’t quite land as intended.
