In what was meant to be a highlight of their Colombian visit, Prince Harry's actions have sparked concerns about his feelings toward Meghan Markle. The trip, intended to showcase their commitment to various causes, has instead raised eyebrows and fueled speculation about their future.
During their trip, Prince Harry and Meghan, who were accompanied by a significant security detail, attended cultural performances, took selfies with school children, and participated in various activities. However, the immense security surrounding their visit—flanked by heavily armed soldiers, a convoy of 14 vehicles, police snipers, drones, and private security—highlighted the serious risks they faced. This extensive security has sparked concerns about the nature of their visit and its implications.
According to royal experts, the Colombia trip has been described as controversial and a “dangerous move.” They argue that this move reflects a lack of direction and purpose for Harry and Meghan. Royal writer Hugo Vickers has suggested that the couple seems to be struggling with their sense of direction, attempting various strategies without clear success. Vickers pointed out that their royal style and choice of location—Colombia, known for its violent crime and dangerous gangs—demonstrate this uncertainty.
In a previous video, I discussed the apparent hypocrisy of Harry’s decision to visit Colombia while expressing fears about Meghan's safety in the UK. Colombia, with its higher crime rates compared to the UK, seemed an odd choice given Harry's concerns about safety in Britain.
Royal editor Royan Nicker also chimed in, expressing doubts about the wisdom of such trips for private citizens of royalty. He echoed Vickers’ sentiments, noting that Harry and Meghan's approach seems to rely heavily on generating major news headlines rather than achieving meaningful results.
Colombia has travel advisory warnings from the UK government due to its rising criminality and unrest. Despite this, Harry has continued to push for taxpayer-funded security for his family during visits to the UK, though this request is still under legal review.
Overall, experts believe that Harry’s move to Colombia shows a troubling level of uncertainty and a lack of clear purpose. The trip has been described as a way for Harry and Meghan to "throw everything at the wall" and see what sticks, revealing their confusion about their future and objectives.
