It’s hard to know where to start with the latest antics of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during their recent trip to Colombia.
A video clip of the couple attempting to dance salsa has surfaced, and let’s just say it’s not winning any awards.
For someone who deeply appreciates Latin rhythms like salsa and merengue, watching them flail about was almost too painful to bear.
Harry, bless him, seems to have absolutely no sense of rhythm, while Meghan gave it her best shot, but it was still cringeworthy.
Before diving into the details, let’s set the scene.
In the video, Harry stands awkwardly with his hands positioned uncomfortably, wearing that familiar lost expression.
His hair, however, looked quite nice—perhaps a stylist was involved this time around.
Meanwhile, Meghan appeared to be in her element, microphone in hand, yet the whole display felt forced and awkward.
Now, about that salsa.
While Meghan did take salsa classes in college, her moves seemed rusty at best.
Salsa is a complex dance that requires practice and precision, and without consistent training, it’s easy to lose those skills.
I’d rate her performance a generous five out of ten.
It’s tough to watch someone struggle on the dance floor, especially when you know how much effort it takes to get the steps right.
Harry, on the other hand, looked utterly lost.
His lack of coordination was evident, making him seem more like a bewildered tourist than a royal.
It’s a stark contrast to the natural rhythm many Latin Americans possess.
Growing up in Latin America gives you an innate feel for these dances, and it’s clear that Harry missed that memo.
But let’s shift gears.
The couple’s visit to Colombia was not just about salsa; it also raised eyebrows regarding the costs associated with their trip.
Colombian taxpayers are reportedly footing a bill of around $500,000 for security measures during their stay.
Some estimates suggest that the total could exceed a million dollars.
This included armored vehicles and extensive police escorts, which seems excessive given the lukewarm reception they received from the locals.
At one event, it was noted that only a fraction of the seats were filled.
With a venue capacity of around 150, it seemed like less than half were occupied.
Imagine being a royal couple visiting a new country and struggling to draw a crowd.
It must have stung their egos, especially Meghan’s, who often thrives on public attention.
In another curious moment, Meghan spoke about encouraging her daughter, Lilibet, to express herself and not suffer in silence.
But let’s be real—Lilibet is only three years old.
At that age, most kids are just figuring out how to talk, let alone process complex emotions.
It makes you wonder if Meghan is trying too hard to project her own experiences onto her young child.
The couple’s dynamics during the trip also raised eyebrows.
Harry often seemed relegated to the background, trailing behind Meghan and the Colombian Vice President.
It’s a puzzling image for a couple that’s supposed to be a team.
Why was he always at the back?
It almost feels like a metaphor for their relationship, with Meghan often taking the lead.
Speaking of awkward moments, there was a scene where Meghan needed assistance from two women to navigate a small step.
This raised questions, especially considering her self-proclaimed feminist stance.
It’s a bit ironic for a strong woman to need help with something so minor, don’t you think?
As the couple continues their public engagements, the question remains: what’s next for them?
Rumors swirl about a cooking show that seems to be stalled indefinitely.
With no trailers or promotional material in sight, some speculate it may not even happen.
If Meghan is unable to deliver content that meets expectations, it could spell trouble for their Netflix deal.
In contrast, the Beckham family is thriving with their own documentary series in the works, showcasing Victoria Beckham’s journey as a creative director.
The narrative surrounding their brand seems to resonate well with audiences, unlike the Sussexes’ recent attempts to capture public interest.
While Meghan has had several opportunities to reinvent herself through various projects, the execution hasn’t quite matched the hype.
Perhaps she could take a page out of Victoria Beckham’s book and focus on a cohesive narrative that truly reflects her journey.
As we watch these developments unfold, it’s clear that Harry and Meghan’s Colombian adventure has provided plenty of fodder for discussion.
Whether it’s their dance moves, public appearances, or future projects, one thing is certain: the world will be watching closely.
