Royal tours were reportedly the highlight of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's time as senior royals, according to a royal expert.
Following their recent four-day visit to Colombia, which was at the invitation of Vice President Francia Marquez, a source revealed that the couple’s fondness for traveling and meeting new people remains strong.
The insider shared with GB News, "Both Meghan and Harry are keen to do more of these tours as that’s what they love doing and what they enjoyed most about royal life."
Their enthusiasm for such engagements highlights how much they valued the opportunity to connect with diverse communities during their royal duties.
Despite their enthusiasm for international tours, both are reportedly feeling "embarrassed" by the backlash they’ve received following their recent trips, including a visit to Nigeria earlier this year.
According to an insider, the couple has been disheartened by criticism that their personal visits attempt to mimic official royal tours, which are typically conducted to foster international relations on behalf of a head of state.
The source told GB News, "They’ve been left embarrassed by the latest backlash, especially given the similar comments they faced during their trip to Nigeria."
Critics have accused Harry and Meghan of trying to replicate the diplomatic role traditionally filled by working royals.
Despite the negative feedback, the couple remains committed to their mission. The insider emphasized, "They want to help raise awareness of the issues some of these countries face and know their profile can highlight that."
