Harry and Meghan’s Colombia Tour: A Dismal Display of Declining Popularity

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's tour of Colombia has taken a nosedive, revealing a stark reality that even the most cynical observers might not have predicted.

What was meant to be a glamorous showcase of their global appeal has instead devolved into a series of awkward moments and glaringly empty seats.

The first day kicked off with Meghan addressing the Responsible Digital Future Summit, an event organized by the Archul Foundation in collaboration with Colombia's Vice President's office and Illuminate.

It had all the ingredients for a successful occasion, but there was one glaring oversight—the audience was nearly nonexistent.

In her speech, Meghan called on online trolls to reflect on the values instilled in them by their parents and grandparents before unleashing hurtful comments online.

While the sentiment was admirable, it was clear that her message struggled to resonate, primarily due to the scant number of attendees present to hear it.

As if the situation couldn't get any worse, it became evident that Meghan's grasp of Spanish was lacking—an unfortunate hurdle in a country where Spanish is the primary language.

The few individuals who did attend were left scratching their heads, questioning why they even bothered, as the empty chairs surrounding them spoke volumes about the event's success.

You might think that after such a lackluster kickoff, the couple would pull out all the stops to ensure a better turnout for subsequent events.

However, that didn't seem to be the case.

Speculation arose that they might have resorted to hiring a crowd, similar to what was rumored during their Nigeria tour, where fans appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

Yet in Colombia, it seems even the option of a rented crowd was unavailable, leaving the Duke and Duchess to confront empty venues entirely on their own.

The next event was predictably underwhelming, taking place at a location with minimal seating—perhaps a strategic choice given the anticipated turnout.

The idea that people would willingly brave the scorching sun just to hear Harry and Meghan speak seemed almost laughable.

Unsurprisingly, the crowd remained sparse.

Adding insult to injury, the tour was marred by a series of personal embarrassments.

Meghan was seen sporting sweat stains, a minor detail but one that the media was quick to pounce on.

Meanwhile, Harry's thinning hair has become increasingly noticeable, further contributing to the perception of a couple whose once-glamorous days are fading fast.

This stark contrast between their current reality and their previous lifestyle couldn't be more pronounced.

The couple's attempts to maintain their relevance are becoming increasingly transparent, and the public's disinterest only amplifies this fact.

Perhaps the most surreal aspect of this entire saga is the level of security that accompanied them.

Despite the absence of crowds, reports indicated that over 3,000 security personnel, including military forces, were deployed.

The sight of heavily armed guards standing watch over empty venues was almost poetic—a fitting metaphor for the futility of their efforts.

One can't help but question the necessity of such extensive security measures when there was little to no one around to protect them from.
