Criticism aimed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over their trip to Colombia has continued, with experts pointing out the huge difference in "security" between the country and Harry's home, the UK.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will visit Colombia later today at the invitation of Vice President Francia Márquez, where they will take part in several events in the capital, Bogotá, until Friday, before leaving for Cartagena and Cali, in the Caribbean and in the Colombian Pacific, where they are expected to be during the weekend.

GB News's Patrick Christys was critical of the latest trip saying: "Prince Harry is missing his own uncle's funeral in the UK because of security concerns. Instead, he's taking his wife to the cocaine-fuelled, gang-warfare, murdering hotspot of Colombia."

He labelled Harry and Meghan "massive hypocrites", to which GB News presenter and writer Emma Webb, agreed, saying: "You don't say. Maybe Harry should be paying the reparations in Colombia for all of the cocaine that he's used over the years." Businessman Adam Brooks added: "He [Harry] is as hypocritical as they come and she [Meghan] is one massive diva."

Meanwhile, former Labour minister Bill Rammell opined: "As a minister, I went to Colombia three times, and I only went with protection officers because it's the most dangerous country in the world. And to compare safety in the UK to Colombia is just hogwash."
