"Harper’s Bazaar can share that on Friday afternoon the Duke and Duchess of Sussex participated in a private luncheon hosted by Colombia Vice President Francia Márquez. The intimate gathering was attended by esteemed guests including government officials and leaders of international organization and cultural sectors all across the country. The gathering was meant to provide a platform for meaningful dialogue to discuss critical global issues at hand, including creating safer environments for children around the world. Márquez also invited members of her staff and the duke and duchess’ staff to join the event to thank everyone for their collective work and partnership in planning this week’s Colombia tour.
"The special event was curated with Harry and Meghan in mind, with the menu being carefully crafted to feature some of their personal favorite dishes, including lemon cake and a chocolate tart, alongside traditional Colombian delicacies. For the afternoon, Meghan wore a fantastic cerulean Oscar de la Renta dress. She paired the sleeveless piece with heels from Aquazarra and a necklace by Logan Howell. Harry, next to her, looked elegant in a sharp black suit and white shirt.
"Bazaar has obtained exclusive photos from the luncheon.
"Both Harry and Meghan made brief but heartfelt remarks to the room, with Meghan giving hers entirely in Spanish."

this isn't an endorsement for Trump, but what delusional conservatives and liberals think Kamala is (radical leftist lol), that is what Francia Márquez is. Márquez is a lawyer, an environmental activist (standing up to paramilitary groups), and a leftist. I really wish Kamala was like her.

Francia Márquez ya había sufrido acciones armadas en su contra. El atentado contra el padre de la vicepresidenta colombiana, Francia Márquez, es otro de los intentos fallidos de cegar la vida de la segunda al mando en el país suramericano o de su entorno en el Cauca, el departamento que la vio nacer.

This is what the brother was talking about..the LEFt doing the bidding of the GOP. This was posted on SM by African Stream. Mark you they are correct but this is not a Kamla/biden issue, it's a US issue.
This was the CAPTION to this photo:
Will Kamala Harris be the new Democratic nominee for the 2024 US presidential elections? Joe Biden has given his endorsement… but what is she really like as a candidate? For the past four years, she has served as vice president of the United States, the first Black (and Asian) woman to occupy this position. Yet, compared to another Black lady VP in the Americas, she seems not to have her people’s best interests at heart. Let us compare Kamala Harris’ record to one of her neighbours to the south, Francia Márquez, vice president of Colombia. Kamala Harris, throughout her career, has consistently sided with the racist, capitalist, imperialist system. Her career as a prosecutor was built off of the war on drugs and strict policies targeting the Black and Brown working class. She is a strong supporter of Israel and has spoken more than once at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the largest pro-Israel lobbying group in the US. The country she represents as vice president is sending billions of dollars to Israel, as Tel Aviv bombs Gaza to ruins and kills thousands. Francia Márquez, the first Afro-Colombian vice president, is part of a long tradition of grassroots Black liberation and environmental justice activism. Unlike Harris, she represents the interests of the African diaspora and oppressed peoples worldwide. The government she represents has restored relations with Venezuela, strengthened ties with the African continent and stood in solidarity with Palestinians facing an Israeli onslaught. Comparing Harris and Márquez in this way reveals why radical politics matter more than just shallow representation without commitment to the people. Do you think Kamala Harris would make a good pick for president of the United States?

"Meghan [the Duchess of Sussex] and Prince Harry are speaking out in a surprise joint appearance.
"Wearing poppy pins to mark the upcoming Remembrance Day in the U.K., which honors military members who have died, the couple spoke via video on Nov. 7 at the inaugural Global Ministerial Conference on Violence Against Children in Colombia, delivering a powerful message on the importance of online safety for children.
"The appearance comes almost three months after they visited Colombia in August at the invitation of Colombian Vice President Francia Márquez.
"In their message, the couple emphasized the urgency of addressing digital violence against children, noting that the first-ever ministerial conference on ending violence against children comes at a critical time. The Duke and Duchess stressed that we are at a pivotal moment where awareness must now transform into meaningful action.
"'We are at a crossroads,' Harry said, 'and the urgency to reassess and redefine our approach to protecting children has become increasingly evident. While the necessity has always been apparent, it’s now time to translate that awareness into meaningful action.'"

Prince Harry hits out at spread of disinformation via AI and social media
Duke speaks at summit on digital responsibility while on visit with Duchess of Sussex to Colombia
Caroline DaviesFri 16 Aug 2024 12.39 CESTS
The Duke of Sussex has hit out at online disinformation during a four-day visit to Colombia, warning: “What happens online within a matter of minutes transfers to the streets.”
Speaking in Bogotá at a summit on digital responsibility, Harry said of the spread of false information via artificial intelligence and social media: “People are acting on information that isn’t true.”
The warning, on the first day of the tour of Colombia by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, did not name specific social media platforms, but Harry’s comments followed criticism of the tech billionaire and owner of X, Elon Musk, and social media platforms after the far-right riots in the UK.
Addressing experts at the summit, which was staged in part by Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation, Harry said in comments reported by the BBC: “In an ideal world those with positions of influence would take more responsibility. We are no longer debating facts.

The couple’s visit is at the invitation of Francia Márquez, Colombia’s vice-president, who told journalists she had been “deeply moved” by the Sussexes’ Netflix docuseries about their lives. “It motivated me to say [of Meghan], ‘this is a woman who deserves to visit our country and share her story’, and undoubtedly, her visit will strengthen so many women around the world,” said Márquez as she welcomed them to Bogotá.
Márquez said she had previously invited Meghan to get involved with a “day of Afro-descendant women” which is commemorated annually on 25 July, but Meghan was unable to make it. “At that time, we sent her an invitation letter, and she responded saying that she couldn’t come but was very eager to visit and get to know our country,” Márquez said.
It has not been confirmed who is funding the trip to Colombia, but the couple have reportedly been given a full security detail, which they no longer receive in the UK after stepping down as working royals in 2020. During the visit, which appears to follow the format of official royal visits, they are expected to spend time in Cartagena and Cali and attend the Petronio Álvarez festival, a four-day event in celebration of Afro-Colombian music and culture.
Their first day was spent in the capital, Bogotá, where they visited a school to meet teenagers at a session on online safety, watched a cultural showcase in which they joined in with the dancing, and attended the digital summit looking at the urgent need to tackle the harmful aspects of technology and digital platforms.
It is the Sussexes’ third trip this year after a three-day visit to Nigeria in May and a visit to Jamaica in January.

Meghans 90000 tour wardrobe plus a present from the VP! by u/Mickleborough
Meghan’s £90,000 tour wardrobe plus a present from the VP! The Daily Mail archived / unarchived has put out its usual article noting the components, and tallying up the cost, of Meghan’s wardrobe.Estimated figure is £90,000 / $117,000 / €105,500, mostly inflated by overpriced jewellery. It’s not a terribly interesting piece - it’s not as if she’s wearing bespoke Dior or vintage Chanel.Of some note are the following:About 50% of her wardrobe is Colombian designers. That’s more local content than she’s ever worn on a tour, fake or otherwise. On some tours, the figure’s been 0.Did Meghan finally get diplomatic dressing? Or did someone reach out to local designers, uttering magic phrases such as ‘invited by the VP’; ‘high profile’; and ‘Harper’s Bazaar’? No Heidi Merrick rubbish for her!On her talk to discuss women’s empowerment (the one where she gave a memorised ex tempore speech in Spanish before fleeing the stage to answer a question, also in Spanish), she wore something mildly intriguing:I don’t mean the white sleeveless top, with buttons straining across a bosom supported by a black brassière:https://ift.tt/ETMQBpb she wore a day or so before, with a linen and wool blend, lined Loro Piana jacket: see below. I gather Meghan’s been sweating - if so, I can’t imagine moist pits with a lined jacket.)https://ift.tt/AgtyOVC was her earrings:https://ift.tt/hKbDR9x Daily Mail described them as:Pure gold, 24k, 22k, 18k, 14k, 10k? Or is it just plate?Now that Meghan’s no longer a working royal, she can keep them, to add to her collection of jewellery of questionable origin. We don’t know that Francia Márquez has ordered anyone to be killed, but she doesn’t seem to have her people’s interests to heart.EDIT: Forgot to add that I went to the site of their ‘official’ reporter, Harper’s Bazaar, to try to find out more about the earrings. Harper’s is calling her ‘Duchess Meghan’. Stop trying to make ‘fetch’ happen, Harper’s! post link: https://ift.tt/INSnkwo author: Mickleborough submitted: August 19, 2024 at 11:52PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.
