How Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘plan third faux royal tour this year’ as options revealed
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have visited Nigeria and Colombia this year, with another trip in the pipeline before the end of 2024.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly set to embark on another ‘faux royal’ tour before the end of the year.
The trip comes off the back of the couple’s recent trip to Colombia as well as Nigeria earlier this year in what has been dubbed a ‘ quasi-royal tour’.
An ‘insider’ told Hello! about Prince Harry: “That’s his world; that’s what he’s used to.”
According to the outlet, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are believed to be eyeing up Lesotho and Botswana, where his charity Sentebale operates.
The last time the duke visited the countries was in 2019.
It comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s latest tour in Colombia in August sparked backlash after it was reported that it cost the country a whooping £1.5 million (8billion pesos) just for their security, according to local media.
Harry and Meghan were invited to Colombia by Vice President Francia Márquez and were provided with a full security detail during their visit, as, after they quit their royal duties in 2020, they no longer travel at the request of the UK Government on official overseas royal visits. Ms Márquez represents the left-wing Historic Pact for Colombia coalition.
The Sussex’s security cost sparked outrage among several people in the country, which faces various socio-economic problems.
One of those slamming the Sussex tour was right-wing councillor of the city of Cali – where Harry and Meghan ended their visit – Andres Escobar.
