Meghan, ever eager to showcase her fashion sense, donned a pair of Princess Diana's iconic earrings on day two, perhaps as a subtle reminder of her self-appointed royal status. She naturally made the visit all about her, especially when she visited Colegio La Giralda in Santa Fe, a local school where she was clearly the star of the show. In a moment that seemed straight out of a cringeworthy charity event, Meghan and Harry posed for photos while planting trees and interacting with the children. Meghan helped a 5-year-old girl named Manuela plant a walnut tree, while Harry enthusiastically took on a guava tree, a native plant—because nothing says "we care" like getting your hands dirty for a few minutes.
The visit was designed to tug at the heartstrings of royal watchers, but it had all the sincerity of a celebrity trying to avoid a speeding ticket. Meghan even made a show of connecting with a young girl the same age as her son, Archie, as if sharing a common age could somehow bridge the gap between their privileged lives and these children's realities. Meanwhile, Harry fumbled through Spanish, asking the students their names and ages, clearly struggling with the language barrier.
But here's where it gets truly rich. These children, who likely had prepared art and handwritten letters to present to the royal guests, were led to believe they would meet James Rodriguez, the renowned football star. Instead, they were stuck with two people they didn’t know and who didn’t speak their language. The bait-and-switch was so blatant that even the kids couldn’t hide their disinterest. It’s almost as if Harry and Meghan were so detached from reality that they didn’t realize how out of touch their visit really was.
The royal pair’s attempt to present themselves as benevolent figures fell flat when it became clear they were more interested in controlling the narrative than engaging meaningfully. They excluded outside media and crafted a perfectly curated Instagram aesthetic. Meghan and Harry's visit wasn’t about genuine interaction but about projecting an image of philanthropy and concern. As usual, their actions spoke louder than their words, revealing their true intentions: maintaining the facade of altruism while avoiding any real scrutiny.
The Vice President’s complicity in this charade only added to the mess. By playing along with Harry and Meghan’s script, she effectively endorsed their transparent efforts to turn a serious visit into a royal publicity stunt. The Vice President’s own credibility might be called into question, as she too appears to be caught up in this web of deception.
According to some critics, including anti-lawyers and Meghan's detractors, the disappointment among the children was palpable. They had been promised a celebrity encounter but were left with an underwhelming royal duo. It’s no wonder the kids looked bored—who wouldn’t be when promised a football star and instead get a pair of self-important royals?
Harry and Meghan's Colombian escapade was nothing short of a scam. They managed to turn what could have been a meaningful engagement into yet another exercise in self-promotion. The result? A room full of disenchanted children, a media blackout, and a growing sense of disillusionment with the couple’s so-called charitable efforts.
