Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are gearing up for another international jaunt, this time heading to Colombia on Thursday.
But before they even set foot on Colombian soil, whispers of chaos surrounding their travel plans have already turned the trip into quite the spectacle.
Reports suggest that as of last night, the Sussexes still hadn’t nailed down their itinerary for this much-anticipated getaway, which is just two days away.
Talk about cutting it close!
Now, one has to wonder: is a visit to an emerald processing center truly necessary?
Meghan’s well-documented love for luxurious gems often seems to eclipse her philanthropic pursuits.
It’s hard not to speculate that the real agenda behind this trip is Meghan’s potential quest for some dazzling emeralds.
Who knows?
We might see her flaunting a new emerald-and-diamond ring or even a tiara upon their return.
This gem-hunting mission aligns perfectly with Meghan’s history of extravagant desires.
Remember the infamous emerald tiara she wanted for her wedding?
That piece ended up gracing Princess Eugenie instead, leaving Meghan visibly frustrated.
Perhaps this time, fortune will smile upon her as she seeks out her own coveted treasures in Colombia.
If nothing else, a visit to an emerald processing center could lend a touch of authenticity to their otherwise polished public image.
Maybe we’ll even catch a rare glimpse of genuine affection or, dare we dream, an unguarded smile from the couple?
That would certainly be a refreshing change from their usual carefully crafted appearances.
But speculation doesn’t end there.
Some cynics suggest that the true motive behind this Colombian escapade is less about gemstones and more about financial woes.
With no clear income source, could Harry and Meghan be considering a more unconventional career path?
The notion of them as drug mules, while bleak, isn’t entirely outlandish given their recent history.
Adding to the intrigue, there’s talk that their children, Archie and Lilibet, might join them on this South American adventure.
This would mark Harry and Meghan’s second overseas trip this year, following their four-day excursion to Nigeria in May.
While Archie and Lilibet sat that one out, sources indicate that Archie is more likely to tag along this time, possibly leaving Lilibet behind.
Meghan is reportedly weighing the pros and cons of bringing the kids.
Their presence would undoubtedly generate more media buzz, giving the Sussex brand a nice little boost.
It’s classic Meghan—always looking to maximize exposure at every turn.
Meanwhile, a friend of Prince William has thrown out a rather pointed suggestion.
This unnamed confidant believes that Harry should take the opportunity during this trip to address his past cocaine use, especially given Colombia’s struggles with drug-related crime.
In his memoir, “Spare,” Harry opened up about experimenting with cocaine at 17, a revelation that’s certainly not gone unnoticed.
The friend argues that this Colombian journey could serve as a chance for Harry to acknowledge the impact of narco-terrorism and perhaps apologize for his past involvement in the drug trade.
Such a gesture, they contend, could help him make amends for his earlier actions.
In his 2023 memoir, Harry candidly detailed his experiences with drugs, revealing how he used substances to escape the pressures of royal life, particularly after Princess Diana‘s death.
As Harry and Meghan prepare for their Colombian adventure, it’s clear that this trip will be anything but ordinary.
