The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s tour of Colombia ended with a mixture of enthusiasm and indifference from locals, reflecting complex sentiments towards the couple's media attention.
Despite the Duke and Duchess’s attempts to connect, many Colombians felt disconnected, with some expressing confusion or unfamiliarity about their royal backgrounds and intentions in the country.
Political expert Monica Pachon noted the invitation from Vice President Francia Marquez was a strategic move to harness media interest amidst a lack of engagement from President Petro.
The extravagant nature of their visit raised concerns about the appropriateness of such a spectacle in a nation grappling with significant poverty and social issues.
