Vice President Francia Márquez invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, arrived in Colombia on Thursday on their first visit to the South American country, to promote mental health for young people and highlight ways to combat cyberbullying, reported The Mirror.
However, Vice President Márquez has now disclosed an unexpected reason behind her invitation to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Her revelation may cause some discomfort at Buckingham Palace, as it is directly related to Prince Harry and Meghan’s controversial Netflix docuseries.
Addressing the press’s burning queries regarding the motivation for the invitation, the VP disclosed, “I saw the Netflix series about their life, their story and that moved me and motivated me to say that this is a woman who deserves to come to our country and tell her story and her exchange will undoubtedly be an empowerment to so many women in the world.”
The six-part Netflix documentary, titled “Harry and Meghan,” which debuted in 2022, delves into the couple’s love story and the subsequent challenges that led to their decision to relinquish their HRH titles and establish an independent life in California. The series, which claims to reveal the other side of their high-profile relationship, makes several surprising allegations about the British Royal family.
In the fifth episode, Prince Harry claims that his brother, Prince William, lost his temper with him during the infamous Sandringham Summit. During this meeting, Harry was presented with five options regarding his future role within the Royal family.
He opted for a ‘half in, half out’ approach, which would allow him and Meghan to pursue their own careers while still supporting the Queen, who was his grandmother, Elizabeth II, at the time, The Mirror reported.
