Prince Harry and Meghan to tour Colombia

"Bien Venidos!"

Says a lot about Britain that they feel safer in Columbia

Do better

Obviously Colombia is not a country they can visit where I'll be waiting for Aunt Meghan with a crossbow.

Maybe they are looking for a cam whore from Medellin to be their third?

[Quote] After saying Britain “too dangerous”.

Possibly due to Colombians not being toxic bigots like certain people I could name?

Toxic bigots such as those in the US State Department who issue travel advisories, R5?

Colombia. not Columbia, dumbass.

Harry is sure to love all the cocaine!

[quote] Ms Márquez added that the couple’s visit would be at a particularly significant time as it will precede the first Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children, to be held in Colombia this November.

[quote] “The Archewell Foundation, founded by the Duke and Duchess, is renowned for its global leadership in fostering a safer online environment.

[quote] “The forthcoming conference will unveil a comprehensive framework for creating safer physical and digital spaces, tackling issues such as cyberbullying, online exploitation, and the mental health impacts of these threats.

I'd be interested in hearing a single thing the Archwell foundation has done to change people behaviour online.

If Columbia doesn’t work out, maybe they can retreat to Acapulco.

Archwell are so qualified for this....meeting. They are known for their vile squad of online bullies who love to demean and dehumanize children and mothers.

What the heck happened to the Harkles anti racism initiative? They worked so tirelessly on it.

R13, Edward and Wallis wandered the world being royals for hire, now Harry and Meghan are doing the same. The Windsors sold jet set glamour; the Sussexes are selling show-up-and-wave “philanthropy.”

Greyhound glamour.

I predict Saudi Arabia after Colombia - burkhas are very flattering for the thick-waisted and she could always pick up some more tainted diamonds.

Markle just discovered that she is 43 percent Colombian.

Admittedly, Haz thought that that meant 43% pure Colombian.

Those back-channels aren't going to establish themselves!

Colombia is the world's largest source of BIG EMERALDS!!

And Harry just inherited a LOT of money!

r7, are you sure?

Perhaps Harry and Markle could take a side trip to Venezuela and help the people opposed to strongman dictator Nicolas Maduro.

why yes, of course we accept pesos!

H&M = Whores

They'd go to the opening of an envelope!

H&M...are they part of the drug cartel?

Hey Harry, you douchebag...is it safe?

Are any of these countries hosting them paying for them to have armed security as close to IPP standards as possible?

Or granting them diplomatic immunity?

What's the purpose of this type of "tour"? What's the point?

“A tour, darling! A tour!”

What would be considered the Chanel of tours, r30?

They go to places with corrupt leaders who will pay them

They are getting blasted online for their parenting advice on the Today show

Jane Pauley ought to be ashamed interviewing and giving these two lying grifters air time.

They can't go to London and stay in a palace, but they can go to Nigeria and Colombia?

Security my ass.

Will it be a private tour?

Perhaps even part of their Privacy tour?

The UK is only “dangerous” to them because they get booed.

Megs is allegedly fluent in Spanish so she should be able to tell groups of assorted schoolgirls “you are all my sisters”.

Grifters gotta grift!

Yes absolutely, The Privacy Tour For Hire continues,with emphasis on Concern and Securitay.

Does anybody else see Minnie Driver starting to emerge from this face?

R29 Self-aggrandizement and a transient boost to their fragile egos is their purpose for doing so.

The results, of course, will be in line with their earlier stunts: another international embarrassment for the Harkles and strained relations between Colombia and the UK.

R41 Is it a dwarf?

Is this another supposed scouting trip for Invictus?

When is the triumphant tour of Argentina scheduled so that she can revisit her early State Department triumphs? She could make a quick stopover in the Falklands.

Perhaps a future tour if Proctor & Gamble HQ?

Just some ideas thrown out to her PR team

Heh.

Who is this Royston idiot? It’s a royal tour? Has it been approved by the UK government?

R46... wow... that's bitchy. Funny, but gloves off.

Goddammit, Colombia. Why invite these grifters?

Not only is it incorrect to call it a royal tour, it’s silly to call it a tour at all. When any other public figure goes to a foreign country, they visit the country. Only royals, for whatever reason, are described as touring a country.

[quote] Only royals, for whatever reason, are described as touring a country.

But they are royals.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

But they aren’t visiting as royals.

[quote]Megs is allegedly fluent in Spanish

Hola, traigo galletas para vuestros perros.

The Markles are former royals.

Now they are lying complaining grifters.

And this is a visit for no reason. Not a tour.

Is she going to make a solo side trip to the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires so that she can cosplay Evita?

Okay

Members of the royal family tour as representatives of the sovereign.

If she does, R55, you can he sure the costume won't fit.

They are no longer royals.

Harry is still a royal by blood, and Meghan is a royal by marriage that's a fact love it or hate it. It's like the Duke of Windsor who despite being [unofficially] exiled after abdicating was still a royal.

That being said, they are no longer working royals, they don't represent the monarchy, the UK or the Commonwealth. They are like Princess Beatrice or Eugenie, royals by birth but not part of the day-to-day workings of the monarchy and effectively are private citizens. Eugenie and Beatrice have chosen to occasionally use their royal connection to promote charitable causes, but for the most part they have jobs and lead very low key lives.

Harry and Meghan represent no one but themselves. These are not "royal tours" they are publicity tours designed to get headlines to keep them relevant. There is no genuine charitable component to it, it's just "look at us" (particularly Meghan in her ill-fitting, wrinkled clothes). Really the only reason the media keeps following them is because "click-bait" and Meghan's status as the first woman of color to marry into the family. If Meghan had been white, honestly, the media would've moved on by now. The whole race thing sells, particularly in the US. And Meghan knows this. Let's not forget she spent her whole acting career stating she was Caucasian and her skin tone was the result of being 43% Maltese (people from Malta, not the dog).

These two are just very self-important, egotist who think they shit gold pellets scented with lavender and wouldn't know an original idea if it slapped them across the face. They are, however, occasionally great comic relief. I'm mean their level of delusion in beyond next level. The fact that they are "scared" to go to the UK and yet go to arguably the most dangerous places on Earth without a second thought and think people are stupid enough not to see the ridiculousness of it. Or how they sue the press over "invading their privacy" and yet spill tea about their families constantly. It is hysterical.

They're going to Colombia because the government there wants some good publicity. Meghan and Harry are going because the Colombian government is paying for them and they will get headlines. Basically there are "hire a royal" now (or as is trending on social media they are Temu-royals LOL).

[quote] Let's not forget she spent her whole acting career stating she was Caucasian and her skin tone was the result of being 43% Maltese (people from Malta, not the dog).

Yes, Mr. Trump.

R61. Did Meghan not state her race officially on some occasions as Caucasian? If so, R60 is nothing like Donald Trump. If not, he is.

[quote] They're going to Colombia because the government there wants some good publicity. Meghan and Harry are going because the Colombian government is paying for them and they will get headlines. Basically there are "hire a royal" now (or as is trending on social media they are Temu-royals LOL).

Hey, whatever works.

And Harry is still doing what he WOULD HAVE been doing, had he been a working royal. So it's just the same as an official visit.

Keep in mind, he's the only one in that family who is traveling abroad right now, and engaging with foreign governments.

I don't think that either Charles or William have even left the UK this year.

So Harry is seizing upon the perfect opportunity.

It is not an official visit because it has no approval by the British government. It’s no more an official visit than if Barack Obama vacations is Spain. Are you American?

The difference, R60, is that when he abdicated, the new Duke of Windsor was styled as His Royal Highness, although his wife was denied this style - both at the direction of the then monarch, King George VI.

While Royal by birth, Harry was requested by his late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II to not use his HRH style, so he’s just The Duke of Sussex. As his wife, Meghan - the great feminist - takes her title from her husband, which is why she is titled The Duchess of Sussex.

She chooses to call herself “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex”, which she would only be called as the widow or former wife of the Duke of Sussex. If she had a shred of credibility she’d call herself Meghan Mountbatten-Windsor (a bit of a mouthful, so to speak) or Meghan Markle (pretty trashy and a reminder of the father who she has disowned). But Meghan and credibility are strangers.

So now they whore themselves as former royals to regimes such as those of Nigeria and now Colombia. As Princess Michael of Kent once said: “We’ll go anywhere for a hot meal”.

[quote]If Columbia doesn’t work out, maybe they can retreat to Acapulco.

When Columbia didn't work out for my brother, he retreated to UC Berkeley.

[quote] And Harry is still doing what he WOULD HAVE been doing, had he been a working royal. So it's just the same as an official visit.

It doesn't seem the same.

Colombia is way more exciting than boring, stodgy UK.

R63 Charles hasn't left the UK this year because he's undergoing cancer treatment, but he's travelling to Australia in October. William has gone aboard briefly to Spain and also will be going to South Africa in November. He hasn't travelled as much because of Kate's cancer.

You’ve been to boring stodgy UK and Colombia, have you, R68?

[quote]They are like Princess Beatrice or Eugenie, royals by birth but not part of the day-to-day workings of the monarchy and effectively are private citizens.

R60. The Markles are nothing like Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who are loyal to the crown. Beatrice and Eugenie may not be working royals, but they are dependable supporters and haven't had an ounce of scandal between the two of them. their entire lives. Beatrice and Eugenie haven't stepped back or stepped down from anything and are always available to step in when needed.

The Markles are lying, complaining grifters. Beatrice and Eugenie are nothing of the sort. They are lovely girls who lead exemplary lives. Beatrice and Eugenie are still HRH. The Markles are unavailable, unwanted and not even in the royal fold any longer.

[quote]If Columbia doesn’t work out, maybe they can retreat to Acapulco.

Or Barnard.

They live to annoy. I cannot keep up with Meghan's ever-changing hair and faces. They should state the value of her surgery in her hungry-to-be-Cartier's-brand-ambassador descriptions of her clothing and jewelry

An online profile refers to her as Caucasian and a Supermodel.

That’s a fan page r74. Anyone can make one.

They do anything to stay relevant.

Up to and including having an OnlyFans site, R76?

They're relevant?

This speaks to an obscene desire to have their asses kissed and play royal. She didn't want to spend her life visiting nursing homes and grocery store openings. This is the royaling they wanted.

If you like these annoying twits for reasons other than hating the royals, please tell me why. Is it because you see her as a victim of racism? I'm not going to argue. I just want to know why anyone would find these asshats appealing.

They don't open fucking grocery stores, Jesus.

They do visit nursing homes and that wasn't the royaling these two wanted to do. They want tours and having their asses kissed, My point is valid. .

They are truly circling the drain.

I for one am excited which nation they'll accept an unpaid invite from next.

They wanted to appear at the Brits, the Oscars, etc.

Still hasn't happened.

All those sad and tacky awards..have they stopped releasing statements about world events? Whoever needed their word salad opinion (Meghan's) about the Ukraine invasion or anything else?

Sparkles went to a pensioners' home on one occasion, and couldn't think of a feckin thing to say to them except "how long have you been here" over and over. Stick to jelly and dog biscuits Mugs, those items don't require intelligence.

Didn't she also mention that she was pregnant to one of the pensioners? And the women replied "Yes, we know".

ha ha, her conversation is sparkling.

It is a striking illustration of their arrogance. One of the Queen’s last public engagements was at an obscure hospice. The most senior member of the institution, after 70 years in the job still thought it was part of her duties despite being in her mid-90s, dying, and probably in pain. But Harry and Meghan were too big for that sort of thing.

Bwhahahaha, remember those pretentious commentaries released from their "Global Communications Desk"?

So??? Pensioners are icky and boring!

I always assumed that their “Global Communications Desk” was wobbly as Hazza found a set of screws left over after he put it together while blitzed and then lost the allen key from Ikea.

After Colombia my money is on Eswatini - she won’t know where it is after the name change from Swaziland (he wouldn’t have heard of either) but plenty of impoverished but smiling people of colour upon whom she can bestow her Duchessy magic.

Here's a place they could visit

Maybe Musk can send her into orbit: “Megs in Space”. No rush to schedule re-entry.

The late ERII was a public servant wearing a crown. She well knew that, but Harry and Meghan will never get it.

I wonder what interest could this retarded wastrel and the NPD textbook case to which he's married, have in Colombia. They have absolutely nothing to contribute beyond looking for way to promote themselves, so maybe they have business interests in the country? Or else, could it be that they're being sent as part of a team that will make diplomatic overtures toward the current left wing government, so as to ensure that they'll side with the US against Venezuela?

I wouldn't put anything past these two shameless grifters.

Harold's concern in Colombia is suicide stemming from online usage. He will work tirelessly to stop it, or something something. Brought to you from the man who was "embarrassed" to tell anyone his wife Diana The Second was suicidal from online bullies.

r73 It looks like she's had at least an upper bleph and another nose job...

Alternatively, R96, they’ll make some serious coin on the couple of kilos of Colombia’s finest that they’ll bring home as a souvenir. Customs inspections of PJs is usually fairly perfunctory.

[quote] Former Courtier Claims Prince Harry & Meghan's Colombia Tour Shows 'Why Royals Want Them Kept Away'

Royal tensions have flared over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming trip to Colombia. The couple will be heading to the South American country later this month, a trip many are dubbing a quasi-royal tour.

The news has reportedly not been well-received by Buckingham Palace and royal commentators, particularly given the couple's decision to step down as senior royals in 2020.

This reaction follows recent concerns raised by Prince Harry about his reduced security detail during UK visits and his claim that his father, King Charles III, could intervene in the situation.

Later this month, Harry and Meghan will touch down in Colombia after accepting an invitation from the Vice President of the South American country.

Although the announcement about the trip was only recently made, the Daily Beast reported that it has already raised eyebrows among senior royals.

According to a former courtier, who chose to remain anonymous, the couple's choice to go on the trip despite no longer being senior royals "shows the utter contempt they have for the king."

They also claimed that the tour goes against "very long-established ways of doing things," adding that past royal tours have served Britain's interests and that the couple's trip does not align with this precedent.

The former courtier added. "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. It shows you exactly why the royals want these two kept as far away as possible."

For many, it is also shocking that Harry and Meghan will visit the country despite travel advisories from both the US and UK governments.

According to reports, the US, where the couple currently resides after leaving the UK, has placed Colombia at a Level 3 security risk.

They also warned that "terrorist groups and criminal organizations continue operating and carrying out attacks" in the country and demonstrations "can occur regularly" with the possibility of violence and fatalities.

Still, it is understood that Harry and Meghan will receive full security protection during their stay to prevent any incident. As part of their itinerary, they will engage with "leaders, youth, and women" of Colombia while visiting places like Bogota, Cartagena, and Cali.

The duo will also take part in activities related to "cyberbullying, online exploitation and the mental health impacts of these threats," which their foundation, The Archewell Foundation, is committed to.

That dangling preposition tho’

Why don't the Markles do a real royal tour and visit Lichtenstein? They could hobnob with real royals then visit all the poor people in one of the richest countries on Earth.
