Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s upcoming tour to Colombia is sparking speculation about their true motives. While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to visit the country under the guise of supporting welfare initiatives, some experts believe the trip may be more about bolstering their brand than philanthropy.
Royal expert Victoria Murphy shared her thoughts with The Sun, expressing skepticism about the couple’s intentions. “They have to have their own reasons to be saying yes to this, and I think it is a little bit baffling in comparison to Nigeria,” she said. Murphy pointed out that their previous trip to Nigeria had a clear purpose, centered around the Invictus Games, a cause close to Harry’s heart.
“When they went to Nigeria, it was very clear that was an Invictus-focused trip. I think there was a clear purpose for that trip,” Murphy explained. She also noted the personal connection Meghan had with Nigeria, having recently discovered that she is 43 percent Nigerian. Additionally, Harry has a long history of charity work in African countries, further justifying the focus of their visit.
However, Murphy finds the Colombia trip to be less straightforward. “This just feels slightly random,” she remarked. “Yes, we’re talking about themes they’re going to focus on, but it’s quite vague on exactly how they’re going to and why they’ve chosen Colombia to highlight those themes.”
The couple’s decision to visit Colombia, a country not previously linked to their charitable efforts, has led to questions about the true purpose of the tour. Is it genuinely about advancing their humanitarian goals, or is it part of a broader strategy to maintain and grow their public profile?
As Meghan and Harry prepare for their Colombian tour, the ambiguity surrounding their objectives has left some royal watchers and experts puzzled. While the trip may indeed support important causes, the lack of a clear connection to their previous work has fueled speculation about whether this is more about brand-building than making a meaningful impact.
