Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s recent trip to Colombia has come under fire from a royal expert, who has criticized them as being out of touch and lacking purpose. According to royal expert Victoria Murphy, their trip has been nothing short of disastrous, with critics questioning their relevance and effectiveness.
Murphy, speaking with The Sun’s royal editor Matt Wilkinson, expressed her skepticism about the purpose of Meghan and Harry’s visit. She pointed out that while other royals, like Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, have clear roles and objectives when visiting foreign countries, Meghan and Harry’s trip lacks a clear focus. The expert suggested that their actions seem directionless, and their presence is more about drawing attention than achieving meaningful goals.
During their visit, Meghan and Harry met with the Colombian Vice President, who invited them after being inspired by their Netflix documentary. The Vice President hoped their visit would address cyberbullying and promote women’s leadership. However, Murphy argues that these issues are not top priorities for many Colombians, who are more concerned with basic needs like food, shelter, and safety.
The visit also featured Meghan speaking to children about being self-reliant and not overly dependent on technology. Critics, including Murphy, find this advice out of touch in today’s tech-driven world.
Murphy labeled the Colombian tour as “baffling and random,” contrasting it with their previous, more purposeful trip to Nigeria, which had a clear focus on Invictus Games. She questions why they chose Colombia and whether their intentions align with the real needs of the country.
In summary, the royal expert believes Meghan and Harry’s Colombian trip has been poorly planned and lacks a coherent message. The visit, which was intended to highlight important causes, has instead been criticized for its lack of clear purpose and relevance.
