Meghan Markle, Prince Harry
Security for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s four-day tour of Colombia cost approximately £1.5 million, sparking outrage in a country facing significant socio-economic challenges.
The tour, which involved 3,000 police and soldiers, helicopters, and extensive security measures, was criticized for its exorbitant cost, which many felt could have been better spent on essential services like children’s programs or infrastructure.
The couple was invited by Colombia’s left-wing Vice President Francia Marquez, but the visit, aimed at discussing issues like cyberbullying and female empowerment, faced backlash for being unnecessary and wasteful.
Critics also questioned the purpose of the tour, particularly given Harry’s ongoing legal battle over security in the UK. The tour raised concerns about prioritizing celebrity visits over pressing domestic issues.
