Prince Harry and Meghan Markle used as political ‘pawns' during Colombia trip

Writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue has claimed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been used as “pawns” during their controversial Colombia trip. The couple touched down in Bogota on Thursday local time for a four-day tour at the invitation of Colombia’s glamorous vice president Francia Márquez. “Prince Harry and Meghan have sort of found themselves in a situation where they're being used as pawns, basically,” Ms Krakue told Sky News host Caroline Di Russo. “This tour of Colombia that they've been doing, it seems a bit rudderless and seems a bit pointless and the reality is it is the vice president of Colombia invited them. “The vice president knew what she was doing, and she's using this couple as a distraction from her own sort of domestic political woes.”
