Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle deserve ‘applause’, not ‘mockery’ for their Colombia tour, claims one royal expert as couple embark on four day trip.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have given critics a reason to ‘poke fun’ but one expert things they deserve praise for one important reason
Prince Harry, 39, and Meghan Markle, 43, have embarked on a four-day tour of Colombia with the aim of educating young people on how to tackle cyberbullying and promoting mental health awareness.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were warmly received at the residence of Vice President Francia Marquez in Bogota’s heart on Thursday, with the couple making their entrance “hand in hand”.
As their whirlwind tour of the South American nation kicks off, a top Royal expert has commented that while it’s “easy to poke fun” at the pair, their efforts are “to be applauded.”
Jennie Bond, former BBC Royal correspondent, told OK!: “It’s becoming their signature look…arriving hand in hand, Harry looking pretty casual, Meghan looking sharp, stylish and glamorous. So far it has all the hallmarks of a quasi-royal tour… An official welcome from the VP (a slight downgrade on a presidential welcome), a cultural event to follow… And then the serious business of the discussions about online dangers for children. “.
“It’s all too easy to poke fun at them for doing this semi-royal stuff after they fled the life of working royals in the UK, but they are making us talk about the dangers of the internet to our children and looking for solutions.And that has to be applauded. “, reports the Mirror.

Jennie went on to say: “There will also be a visit to an early African American settlement with opportunities for Meghan to address colonial issues and the slave trade, which she is well placed to do.”
The Royal analyst expressed her weariness of the incessant critique directed at Harry and Meghan, arguing: “They are doing things their way, they seem to have stopped attacking the Royal Family so openly.
“We don’t have to publicise what they do or say….But the fact is they are still making headlines and – for the most part – they are using their platform to improve the lives of others.”
The duo’s display of solidarity in Colombia comes on the heels of the abrupt exit of their chief of staff, Josh Kettler, earlier this week, just three months into his tenure.
Josh, a public relations specialist, joined forces with Harry ahead of his and Meghan’s whirlwind three-day tour of Nigeria back in May.

Nonetheless, he resigned from his post a short time later, a position that was meant to “guide him [Harry] through his next phase”. Insiders imply that his departure from the role was a “mutual decision”.
Speaking about the exit, Jennie had previously shared: “The timing of this resignation is definitely very awkward, with the Colombia visit about to kick off.”
