In a move that has sparked both intrigue and skepticism, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are gearing up for a visit to Colombia.
This tour, taking place just ahead of the inaugural global ministerial conference aimed at eradicating violence against children, aligns closely with their Archwell Foundation’s mission focused on combating cyberbullying and promoting online safety.
While the couple claims their trip is designed to connect with leaders, youth, and women who reflect the aspirations of Colombians striving for progress, not everyone is convinced.
Royal insiders have raised eyebrows over the true motivations behind this tour, suggesting it may not be in Britain’s best interests.
An anonymous source relayed to The Blast, “This tour may well have the noblest intentions, but it is clearly not being carried out on behalf of Britain.
And yet they still basically portray themselves as British royals.”
Such sentiments highlight a growing concern among royal observers who believe Meghan and Harry’s actions could be seen as self-serving.
Prince Harry has previously expressed his reluctance to return to the UK, citing security issues as a reason for not bringing his family along without state-funded protection.
Ironically, their decision to visit Colombia—a country currently under a travel advisory from the UK Foreign Office—has led some to view this as contradictory.
Royal author Angela Levin voiced her apprehensions on GB News, stating, “It is dangerous there, Colombia, at the moment.
There are a lot of people being taken away and money being demanded for them to be returned.
It is really ridiculous and it conforms to my long-term suggestion that they tried to manipulate the king.” Levin’s comments encapsulate the ongoing narrative that Meghan and Harry are attempting to sway the royal family’s opinions and decisions.
Moreover, rumors have surfaced suggesting that the couple might don costumes resembling the late Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh during their Colombian escapade.
This potential act has been met with backlash from royal commentators who deem it disrespectful.
“The idea of Meghan and Harry dressing up as the Queen and Prince Philip is just absurd and disrespectful,” remarked one royal expert, opting for anonymity.
“It’s as if they’re trying to play act at being royals, when in reality, they’ve turned their backs on the institution.”
This alleged cosplay incident isn’t the first time the couple has faced criticism for seemingly leveraging their royal background for personal gain.
Earlier this year, their trip to Nigeria was scrutinized, with many interpreting it as an attempt to maintain their public visibility and relevance.
Levin reiterated her concerns, suggesting that their actions are driven by a desire to manipulate the royal family and public perception.
As the controversy surrounding their Colombian visit continues to brew, the question remains: how will Meghan and Harry strike a balance between their quest for independence and the expectations tied to their royal lineage?
Their every move will undoubtedly be under the media microscope, with the public eager to witness their responses to the mounting criticism.
In the court of public opinion, it seems the stakes are higher than ever for the Sussexes.
Their journey to Colombia is more than just a trip; it’s a test of their commitment to their causes versus their ties to the royal family.
As they embark on this journey, the world watches, ready to dissect each moment and motive.
