Meghan Markle and Prince Harry geared off their anticipated visit to Colombia on Thursday, August 15, marking their second non-royal tour this year. Months back, the couple visited Nigeria for a three-day trip, where they promoted Harry’s Invictus Games and mental health awareness. The tour turned out successful despite the initial negative publicity surrounding it. Thereafter, Colombia’s Vice President Francia Marquez extended an invitation to Harry and Meghan to visit the South American nation for another “faux royal tour.” As expected, the Sussexes’ decision to honor the invitation has raised eyebrows.
While many deem it a grasp for attention and some self-publicity, others believe that such faux royal tours could potentially “undermine the work of the actual royal family” and deepen Harry and Meghan Markle’s feud with the royals. Regardless of widespread opinions, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex looked forward to their trip, which reportedly aligned with a bigger plan for the future.
Meghan Markle Thirsty to Prove Her Greatness to the World as Ultimate Revenge
A source close to the couple confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle considered their Colombia visit an avenue to turn the negative narrative surrounding them around, per OK!. The source divulged,
“Meghan sees this Colombia tour as her chance to prove to the world what a big star she is and how much the royal family misses her.”
Going further, the source explained that activities like touring was the “one thing about royal life” that appealed to Meghan Markle. Sadly, losing it along with her other royal duties following Megxit left her furious. The insider claimed Meghan thought of herself as an asset to the royal family as no other royal could put on a show like her and Prince Harry.
In fact, following their infamous royal exit, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly asked the family to let them represent the monarchy on tours. The royal family declined the request, further infuriating the duchess. Hence, for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, their recent visit to Colombia was the “ultimate revenge” against the royal family for rejecting them.
