Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been warned of “repercussions” if they have chosen not to get royal approval for their upcoming Columbia trip.

The couple, who stepped down as senior working royals back in 2020, announced their plans to visit Columbia later this year.

Their planned visit will reportedly showcase the heritage of Colombia and will also focus on ways to create safer spaces online.

It has also been revealed that the couple had been invited to visit by the vice president, Francia Marquez.

Although details of the visit remain unknown, it has been likened to a ‘royal tour’. Due to this, the couple have been urged to get approval from King Charles or they could be set to face “repercussions”.

Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, former royal butler Grant Harrold said: “It will be good to know if this has been sanctioned by the Palace or if Harry had a conversation with his father asking if he can do this.

“I just can’t see them doing it without some sort of approval because this would upset the monarchy if they do it off their own back and I think there could be repercussions if they haven’t been given permission by the royal household.”

He also surmised that the couple’s visit could be them seeking their “first steps” to make a return as working royals.

Mr Harrold added: “If they are going to carry out a royal tour then they are acting as working royals so this could be an indication of them stepping back into royal life.”

On August 1, the Colombian vice president revealed in a statement: “As the Vice President of Colombia and Minister of Equality and Equity, I am pleased to announce that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have kindly accepted my invitation to visit our beautiful country.”

During their time in Colombia, Harry and Meghan are set to visit Bogotá, Cartagena, and Cali with Márquez.

Her statement continued: “In these vibrant locations, they will have the exceptional opportunity to engage with leaders, youth, and women who embody the aspirations and voices of Colombians committed to progress. In addition to these meaningful interactions, The Duke and Duchess will experience the rich heritage of Colombia.”
