Harry and Meghan's subtle 'power move' against royals in Colombia exposed by expert

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been accused of “exploiting the gap on the balcony of the depleted Royal Family,” following their latest trip to Colombia.

The couple recently completed an international trip which consisted of a four-day tour of the South American country.

This came after an invitation from Colombia’s Vice President Francia Márquez, marking their second overseas visit this year, after their trip to Nigeria earlier this year.

Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were met with a stately welcome and government-backed security, their visit was criticised by commentator Caroline Aston.

Speaking to GB News, she said the couple “like to be surrounded by yes people” and have a “revolving door on the staff room at camp Montecito that spins around and ejects people”.

Caroline added: “Just before this much-discussed trip to Colombia, Josh Kettler left after only three months in situ as Harry's grand-sounding Chief of Staff - he was gone even though he'd been with them in Nigeria.

“But really, what you're watching here in Colombia is that old party game called who is using who.”

The commentator also argued that Harry and Meghan may have been “used” by the Colombian government during their tour.

“On the one side, you have the Sussexes with their brand tanking, having lost direction.

“And of course Meghan having been given a lot of raspberries, making jam and cooking and trying to reinvent herself as a wholesome mum figure.

“And on the other side, you have the Colombian government, a very unsafe place with a danger warning on it, yet somehow much safer for the security-conscious Sussexes to go and visit.

“So we have two groups each hoping to ride on the back of the other,” Caroline explained.

Harry and Meghan’s visit was to promote their charity work trying to make the internet safer for children as they spent the first two days talking to activists, experts and school children about the impact of social media on young people.

Presenter Patrick Christys argued that the Duke and Duchess could have “done all of this from within the Royal Family,” had they not stepped down as working members.

Caroline agreed: “Don't forget, if we go right back to Megxit, they wanted to be half out, half in.

“When you wear tiaras and uniforms, there's good photo opportunities there that would enhance a brand they were hoping to build in royalty-fascinated America.”

She continued: “And ever since then, there's been a kind of huge case of sour grapes, we're going to go our own way. I think they might just be exploiting the gap on the balcony of the depleted Royal Family.

“They know that the numbers are down, what an ideal time to get out there and show the world how they could have done the job.”
