The fallen royal couple, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, recently visited Colombia, but not for the reasons they had hoped for. What was supposed to be a careful escape from the media could turn into a real nightmare for their already fragile image.
A “royal tour” or a failed communications operation?
The Sussexes made a bold choice by visiting Colombia, a country that is affected by many social and political challenges. At the invitation of the vice president, Francia Marquez, Meghan and Harry made a series of public appearances, no doubt hoping to restore their image. But at what cost? Between the crowd in the sweltering heat, the tasteless interviews and the photographs, their passage left a bitter taste for many viewers. Some people do not hesitate to describe this trip as a “desperate attempt” to stay in the media’s attention, a light that is really starting to darken.
Clothing choices under fire from critics
And if that wasn’t enough, their wardrobe also caused the ink to flow. Meghan, with her eternally calculated style, opted for a Panama hat, an accessory that sparked an unexpected debate. No, panama is not from Panama, but from Ecuador. Oops, communication error or simple ignorance? As for Harry, his choice of linen shirt was characterized as “bland” and “boring”. A criticism that, in addition to simple clothes, seems to symbolize a lack of substance this time.
Controversies that accumulate
But that’s not all. The couple also finds themselves in controversies related to their presence in Colombia. Accusations of opportunism and exploitation of local poverty for their own media gain come from all sides. Their image, which has been badly damaged by past scandals, could suffer even more. Especially since their next trip would be jeopardized by this wave of criticism.
So, Meghan and Harry, fallen stars looking for attention or misunderstood philanthropists? One thing is for sure, their Colombian “royal tour” effort will not go unnoticed… but not for the right reasons.
