Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to embark on a quasi-royal tour of Colombia, following an invitation from Vice President Francia Marquez. Royal author Anna Pasternak suggests this trip is an attempt by Harry to elevate Meghan's status akin to that of a senior royal. The couple, who stepped back from royal duties in 2020, previously visited Nigeria in a similar capacity. While Harry's intentions may be noble, many Colombians view their visit skeptically, seeing it as a potential distraction from domestic scandals. Furthermore, the trip poses security risks as they will not have the protection of the Foreign Office. Meghan's fluent Spanish is expected to be showcased, enhancing her engagement with local communities.
