The much-anticipated tour of Columbia by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has taken a nosedive that even the most cynical observers couldn’t have foreseen.

What was expected to be a shining moment for the couple has instead devolved into an awkward display marked by glaringly empty seats.

Kicking off the tour, Meghan took the stage at the Responsible Digital Future Summit, an event co-hosted by the Archul Foundation, the Vice President’s office, and Illuminate.

The occasion seemed primed for success, with Meghan slated to address pressing issues surrounding online safety.

However, one glaring detail marred the event—an almost nonexistent audience.

As she spoke passionately about the importance of kindness online, urging trolls to reflect on their upbringing, her message seemed to dissipate into the air, largely unheard due to the sparse turnout.

Things only deteriorated from there.

It became apparent that Meghan’s grasp of Spanish, an essential skill in a Spanish-speaking nation, was lacking.

Attendees who did brave the event were left questioning the purpose of their effort, as the empty chairs surrounding them told a story of their own.

You might think that after such a rocky start, the couple would pull out all the stops to ensure better attendance for subsequent events.

Surprisingly, that wasn’t the case.

Rumors swirled that the Sussexes might have attempted to hire a crowd, similar to what they allegedly did during their Nigeria tour.

Yet in Columbia, it seems even that option was off the table, leaving Harry and Meghan to face the music alone amidst the echoes of vacant venues.

Their next event was set in a location designed for minimal seating, perhaps a calculated move based on their anticipated audience.

The thought of people willingly sitting under the scorching sun just to hear the couple speak is almost comical.

Unsurprisingly, the turnout was as dismal as ever.

To add insult to injury, the tour was punctuated by personal missteps that caught the media’s eye.

Meghan was photographed with noticeable sweat stains—a minor detail, but one that the press eagerly seized upon.

Meanwhile, Harry’s thinning hair has become increasingly conspicuous, adding to the narrative of a couple whose once-magnificent appeal seems to be fading.

This stark contrast between their current situation and their previous glamorous lifestyle is hard to ignore.

Yet, perhaps the most ironic aspect of this entire saga is the overwhelming security presence that accompanied them.

Despite the lack of crowds, over 3,000 security personnel, including military forces, were reportedly deployed.

The sight of heavily armed guards standing watch over empty venues felt almost poetic, a fitting metaphor for the futility of their mission.

One can’t help but wonder why such extensive security was necessary when there was no one around to pose a threat.

Ultimately, the Royal Columbian Tour has achieved one significant outcome—it has firmly established Harry and Meghan as figures whose relevance is rapidly diminishing.

Their attempts to remain in the public eye have only served to underscore how far they have strayed from their former prominence.
