Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were issued a warning (Image: GETTY) Meghan Markle seemed keen to take charge as she gave a passionate speech in Colombia after her arrival in the Latin American country this week - but it has caused fears for her welfare. She exclaimed: "The most important place that I sit in the world is as a mother..

. [and] no-one can test the fact that we wanna keep our children safe." Yet on GB News today, it was pointed out that she was visiting one of the most "dangerous countries in the world" - and she was issued a stark warning.

Former BBC royal correspondent Michael Cole stated that the British government currently "warns against all but essential travel to certain parts of Colombia". He also suggested: "One wonders whether the President will be manipulating and exploiting their royal presence to add a bit of stardust to his regime." Left-wing leader Gustavo Petro is reportedly deeply unpopular among residents, just two years into his tenure.

After the first year of his presidency, his popularity rating plummetted from 60 per cent to just 30 per cent - and Cole has suggested that he could be using the former British working royals to win favour. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
