I hope the Colombian people quickly get rid of this vice president ... and the American people of Harry & Meghan

[Lady_Georgina]

Colombians: The people here are hungry without access to internet
Meghan: “Let them eat cake”.

[jilliegirlie]

They dont get invited to any parties in California, so they have to go to a 3rd world country for some adoration and attention. She is soooo thirsty.

[clairvoyant]

The Grifters went to a third world country to discuss first world issues.

Poor little Prince. He probably never cared who paid for his ‘Royal’ tours when he was a working member of the RF. Well this is real life Harry…..you have no worth now. How arrogant of you to think the Colombian people would want you to visit.😡😡

[CloudWatcher]

I don’t know why they went to Columbia to talk about mental health and online bullying to a country that is so poor and at risk from human rights violations that life is hardly worth living. You just don’t do that.

People are absolutely sick of these two grifters…Two self centered self important people who believe they should live a free life off the Royal name

$2 million in Colombia could have built a new school or even several homes for the homeless.

[Debthouse]

People who do not work to finance their rich lifestyle have no respect for or understanding of the value of money. If you do nothing to earn your wealth it is easy to spend frivolously, whereas when you work hard for your money one tends to be per cognizant and frugal.

[laffietaffie]

Going to Colombia to discuss internet safety? Sounds like a parody.

[kathleendavenport]

Does this women have to talk over her guest so much - really off putting

[serfredereck]

Oh, pay Columbians with Royal pain to smile at meggy and har .

[tray]

That VP is going to lose her man and job..she's well and truley going to get markled..

[mirjanaelvy]

Rude interviewer. Interupting 3:18 and cutting off the guest!! Rude!

[KB-etpo]

Canadian here, who is this anchor or host? A bit distracting her continuously speaking over her guest, not to mention, she sounds emotionally affected by the criticisms of JLo. It's okay to have a preference or be a fan of an artist and be open about it, it's how one presents oneself when reporting on that artist.
Appearing somewhat neutral even if you express how you personally feel, lends more credibility.

[AleiatheEnchanted]

It's crazy because they go to 3rd world countries and get them to pay for their royal tours. That's a bad look on them. Why go to an impoverished country for a vacation??? If rich countries are not inviting that means you're not that important but these two are trying to stay relevant whichever poor country is willing to accept them

[Ann-sfod]

Colombia for sure paid for this regardless of what the Colombian VP says. The massive security protection by the Colombian military a really bad look for the country ensuring tourists stay away

[connie]

That money could have gone towards their CHILDREN

[andrewoliver]

Yep what is she not supposed to be a humanitarian ok ……so how about the children who are not even eating wow the coldness in her heart ❤ the selfishness

[Nikitateagurl_]

Colombian people needs to pay itl How dare they..
