Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s upcoming tour to Colombia to promote their new children’s online safety campaign has been slammed by a royal expert in a stinging seven-word takedown.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will visit the South American country at the invitation of the Colombian Vice President Francia Marquez.

Ms Marquez said the couple will have an “exceptional opportunity to engage with elders, youth and women who embody the aspirations and voices of Colombians … and illuminate Colombia’s role as a beacon of culture and innovation”.

But a royal expert has slammed the tour with just seven words. Kinsey Schofield said on her YouTube channel that people need to “stop calling these hillbilly holidays royal tours”.

She continued: “These two quit their royal responsibilities due to a lack of qualifications and inability to handle the demands of the position.”

Jeremy Clarkson’s four years of fury at Meghan Markle – and Harry’s livid response

Jeremy Clarkson’s latest dig at Meghan Markle in his most recent motoring column was somewhat surprising given the backlash he has received for his opinions on the Duchess of Sussex in the past.

In 2022 the Clarkson’s Farm star found himself forced to apologise after an article, in which he viscerally described his hatred of her generated 17,500 complaints to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), which is the most complaints that the organisation has ever received for an article.

Nonetheless on Sunday (August 11) he slammed the former actress for her 2019 baby shower calling the concept “stupid” and “unroyal”. It was just the latest barb in what has been an ongoing four year campaign against her.

Jeremy first took a swipe at Meghan as she and husband Prince Harry announced they were giving up their positions as senior royals and moving to America. In February 2020, her used an interview with GQ UK to have a dig at her.

Prince William’s pal urges Prince Harry to do one very important thing ahead of Colombia

A friend of Prince William’s is urging Prince Harry to complete one simple and honest task during his forthcoming tour of Columbia with Meghan Markle.

The source is requesting Harry apologise for taking cocaine as a young man, as stated in his bombshell memoir, Spare, released in January 2023.William’s pal told the Daily Beast: “Harry admitted to doing coke in his book [Spare]. His trip to Colombia should include an admission that the country has been destroyed by narco-terrorists servicing wealthy drug users in the West, and he should stand up and apologize for his own participation in that disgusting trade. That would be a helpful intervention.”In a shocking admission, the Duke of Sussex wrote by the summer of 2002 when he was 17-years-old, he had “taken cocaine” during a shooting weekend and “a few more lines” on other occasions.

In the book Spare, Harry writes: “It wasn’t very fun, and it didn’t make me feel especially happy as seemed to happen to others, but it did make me feel different, and that was my main objective. To feel. To be different.

“I was a 17-year-old willing to try almost anything that would alter the pre-established order.”

Prince Harry’s major worry about Kate and William after they made huge Meghan confession

Prince Harry had one major “worry” before he introduced Meghan Marke to the Prince and Princess of Wales after they made a bizarre revelation about her, according to the duke himself.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex started dating in 2016 and it wasn’t long until Meghan met Harry’s family.

But during the first few months of their relationship, the couple tried to keep it under wraps, however, rumours soon started circulating about their courtship.

Shortly after that, Harry wrote in his memoir Spare, that Prince William and Princess Kate had invited him for dinner and began questioning him over who his mystery woman was.

Harry wrote: “I wasn’t sure I was ready to tell them. I wasn’t sure I wanted anyone else to know just yet. But then, as we sat around their TV room, both kids tucked into bed, the moment felt right.

“I casually mentioned that there was a woman in my life. They surged forward. ‘Who is she?’ ‘I’ll tell you but please, please please, I need you both to keep it a secret. ‘Yes Harold, yes, yes – who is it?’

Piers Morgan’s savage ‘one-word’ reaction to Prince Harry and Meghan’s latest world tour

Prince Harry and Meghan Marke were criticised by Piers Morgan over their plans to embark on a new tour in Colombia this summer.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were invited to the South American country by Vice President Francia Márquez.

Harry and Meghan’s quasi-royal tour will include visits to the capital, Bogotá, and the Pacific regions of Cartagena and Cali.

But the couple’s plans have received mixed views from royal watchers, including broadcaster Piers Morgan who was critical of their latest move and made a one-word comment.

Mr Morgan compared their Colombia plans to a review about a play called “Why?” which said: “Exactly.”

‘Cruel’ Meghan Markle is ‘last person who should talk about love’, says Royal expert

A Royal expert has accused Meghan Markle of hypocrisy over her treatment of estranged father Thomas Markle, amidst a bitter family divide. The Duchess of Sussex stands accused of “freezing out” her own father in a manner described as “cruel.”

Last month saw the embers of scandal re-ignited when Lady Colin Campbell, former ‘I’m A Celebrity’ contestant, set up a GoFundMe page ostensibly to cheer Thomas Markle on the eve of his 80th birthday on July 18.

Portrayed as someone who had been “rejected and abandoned”, the initiative sought to assure him that “good people” still exist, raking in upwards of £54,000.

The appeal was spurred on after Thomas Markle expressed to the Daily Mail his desire to repair his fractured relationship with his daughter Meghan, an estrangement dating back to her wedding with Prince Harry in 2018 and his yearning to meet his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet.

However, Jennie Bond, former BBC Royal correspondent, has slammed the notion of a fundraiser for Thomas – embroiled previously in a media furor over staged paparazzi snaps – as utterly “ridiculous”.

Real reason King Charles was ‘terrified’ of Prince Harry before row

Prince Harry believes his brother, Prince William, has always been seen as the far more reliable prince by his father, according to a royal author.Author of ‘Scandals of the Royal Palaces: An Intimate Memoir of Royals Behaving Badly’, Tom Quinn, said since Harry was a teenager he always thought King Charles “preferred” William who was less “volatile”.

He told the Mirror: “Harry’s real beef is that he is convinced Charles always preferred William anyway and not just because William is the heir.

“Harry’s difficulties when he was a teenager and his increasing volatility as an adult terrified Charles who turned to the far more stable, risk-free William.”The expert added Charles saw William as a “safe pair of hands”. He added: “Charles increasingly saw William as a safe pair of hands and Harry as too emotionally unstable. Deep down Harry knows this and he deeply resents it.”The distance has grown between Harry and King Charles and Prince William following the Duke stepping down as a working royal in 2020 alongside Meghan Markle, and conducting a series of high-profile interviews detailing his private life within the Royal Family.

Harry documents how having a beard was viewed by some as a

After their departure from Royal duties in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have dived into several ventures, balancing these with raising their young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Their latest endeavour is centred around their children; The Parents’ Network, targeting the scourge of cyberbullying and setting out to foster safer online interactions to shield kids from digital threats.

Discussing the initiative on a recent CBS interview, Meghan opened up, saying: “I think when you’ve been through any level of pain or trauma, I believe part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine, is being able to be really open about it.

“And I haven’t really scraped the surface on my experience but I do think that I would never want someone else to feel that way.”

She continued: “If me voicing what I have overcome will save someone or encourage someone in their life to really, genuinely check in on them and not assume that the appearance is good so everything is okay, then that’s worth it. I’ll take a hit for that.”

The Parents’ Network presents itself as a “safe, free-to-access peer-support network”, with “comprehensive advice and resources” managed by a qualified coordinator, aiming to offer “invaluable support to those in need”.

Real reason Prince Harry was allowed to keep his beard but Prince William had to shave his

Prince Harry had to pluck up the courage to ask the late Queen Elizabeth II if he could keep his beard to marry Markle Markle on his wedding day as beards were “forbidden” in the British Army at the time.

King Charles’s youngest son explained that he was initially “stressed” about asking the late Queen’s permission to marry the former TV actress, and then worried about the request that followed.

As documented in the bombshell memoir, Spare, released in January 2023, Harry wrote: “After all the stress of asking Granny for permission to marry Meg, I thought I’d never have the courage to ask her for anything else.

“And yet I now dared to make another ask – Granny, please, may I, for my wedding, keep my beard?”

Harry documents how having a beard was viewed by some as a “violation” of rules if wearing an army uniform and that it was not a “small ask”.
