A resounding message. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle recently revealed that they will soon be taking a trip to Colombia, which will mark their second appearance abroad since leaving the company. If for many it is a simple business trip, for experts from the royal family, it is not. In truth, this may be true revenge against the Windsors and their treatment of the Sussexes. In fact, this trip is part, for Meghan, of a wider plan to change the negative perception that she is subject to. It would then allow her to shine far from the rules of the elite, by doing the work she loves, but also by embodying an alternative to the royal family.
At the time of their escape, in 2020, from their royal duties, Harry and Meghan had asked to “representing the royal family on tours”explains an insider as reported The Expressadding that this had been denied them. “So she sees it as the ultimate revenge because they were both very upset about being voted out.” Enough to stir up a little more the tensions roiling Charles III’s family as he finally buries Harry’s attempts to reconcile with his father since the announcement of Kate Middleton’s cancer. “Meghan sees this Colombia tour as her chance to prove to the world that she is a big star and that the royal family misses her very much”the source said. Not sure the Windsors appreciate having to share the light in these hard times.
Meghan and Harry, the best to put on a show?
Especially because for Meghan Markle, success could help her weigh more on the company’s balance sheet. “She knows how much she can make things happen.”explains the source, specifying that by refusing to let her represent the royal family, the latter lost “an asset”. “She thinks she and Harry shine when they meet dignitaries and locals, and that adds to the brand and their plan to be the alternative royal family. Meghan knows no one in the royal family can put on a show like her and Harry.” It remains to be seen whether this Colombian stint will bury the hatchet or make it resurface.
