Harry and Meghan with VP Francia Márquez and Yerney Pinillo (Image: Colombian Vice President's Office) As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle begin their four-day tour in Colombia, their visit has been described by a royal author and expert as "self-promotion". The Sussexes touched down in the capital of Bogota and were welcomed by Vice President Francia Márquez , and her husband, Rafael Yerney Pinillo. Royal author, Robert Jobson, believes there is only one reason the Montecito-based duo have decided to participate.
He told Express.co.uk: "Harry and Meghan, however, have one reason for this 'tour' - self promotion, to keep themselves in the spotlight so they can continue to trade on their royal links while demanding privacy when they are having their downtime.
" He also added that the couple's visit has "raised more questions than answers". He added: "When Harry and Meghan touched down, it wasn’t just the Colombian sun that made people squint. It was the blinding glare of their celebrity.
Confused locals are asking, 'Are they here to help'?" Robert questioned whether the duo were a "shiny distraction" wondering who was paying for the couple's "flights, their security" and "their luxury accommodations".
