But before that, she was mostly widely known for her participation as Rachel Zane in the American legal drama Suits. She was a part of the show for seven seasons, but upon her marriage to Prince Harry, Markle retired from acting.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle insisted that no media outlets or press cover their quasi-royal trip to Columbia. There was only one journalist from Harper’s Bazaar and one photographer. There were also a plethora of videos without sound, and most of them weren’t even a minute long.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Want To Control The Narrative
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle didn’t want the media involved; despite seeking approval and attention, they wanted to control the narrative and spread biased misinformation and propaganda.
Harry and Meghan are “cosplay royals,” every time they use their titles for profit, they misrepresent the royals who carry out tours in these countries and work on behalf of the government and the people.
However, Harry and Meghan only work for themselves. This tour was about monetizing their own interests. The Sussexes clearly want to spin the “truth” to their advantage.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s tour of Colombia was one for the books, and certainly one for the royal experts to poke and pick apart.
While in the South American country, the couple danced, played drums, attended and participated in summits, met schoolchildren and generally tried their best to explore the culture of the country.
However, as royal fans, and now a royal expert, pointed out, Harry didn’t look particularly excited to be there. Yes, at times he seems to have perked up and engaging in the events as easily and readily as his wife Meghan, but other times he isn’t particularly thrilled by whatever’s going on around him.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seemed to have a lovely four days in Colombia in a whirlwind tour of the country steeped in rich history.
Even though the royal couple isn’t officially working for the monarchy, these trips cost a lot because so much security must be involved.
As Monsters and Critics have reported, this trip, much like their previous trip to Nigeria, could be considered “high-risk.” The same security that would take care of King Charles or Kate Middleton has no connection with the journey for them.
One of the primary reasons Prince Harry moved his family to the United States was his fear that his security in the UK as a “non-working” royal was not enough to protect them.
This recent trip to Colombia certainly cost a lot of money since the security even involved an officer wielding a Kevlar shield in case of sniper attacks.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are still riding high from their quasi-royal tour in Columbia. Reports say the Sussex’s security for their four-day trip cost poverty-stricken Columbia an estimated 1.5 million pounds.
Security Costs For Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Were Elaborate And Wasteful
Security for the couple included 3,000 police and soldiers, helicopters, bomb disposal units, sniffer dogs, armored police vehicles, and the use of bulletproof briefcases, which are special shields to protect from potential shooters.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were in the country at the invitation of the country’s Vice-President, Francia Marquez. The shield has been used to keep Marquez safe since she’s been the target of several assassination attempts.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal family back in 2020, so they have not taken any official royal tours since they performed duties on behalf of the family. However, 2024 seems to be the year of travel for Harry and Meghan; the couple made it to Nigeria back in May, where their trip had all the makings of a royal tour — and they just returned from a high-profile Colombia trip that had the same feel.
While Colombia seemed elated to welcome Harry and Meghan, the couple’s one request cost the government nearly $2 million.

Meghan Markle’s speech on female empowerment at the Afro Women and Power conference on Sunday faced an unexpected disruption. The Duchess of Sussex, who was accompanied by her husband, Prince Harry, delivered her remarks at the Enrique Buenaventura Municipal Theater, speaking in both English and Spanish.
Markle, 43, praised Colombia’s Vice President Francia Marquez, who is the country’s first black vice president and hosted the Sussexes. Referring to Marquez as “my friend,” Meghan lauded her efforts in inspiring future generations. During her speech, Markle highlighted the significance of empowering women and the role of men in supporting this cause.
The event took a turn when an audience member interrupted Marquez’s speech with a question concerning transgender rights. Marquez addressed the query by affirming the inclusive nature of her program, which supports all women, including transgender women. The heckler was allowed to stay for the remainder of the event after sitting down.

Meghan Markle‘s signature style blends classic elegance with modern chic looks. Her fashion choices often feature clean lines, neutral tones, and statement pieces that exude sophistication.

Marquez admitted wanting them to come after watching their docuseries, “Harry and Meghan.” The couple were pictured walking around Bogota after Meghan met with and embraced the VP.
Marquez said that she believed.
“A visit from Meghan would strengthen so many women around the world.”

Following their trip to Nigeria last May, the next country Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose to visit is Colombia. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex headed to the South American nation for a four-day tour. This is a high-profile trip for the Sussexes, therefore, fashionistas everywhere will be watching Meghan to see what she wears, just as they do when the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) makes a public appearance.
Last month, Kate wowed the crowd when she attended Wimbledon and donned some stylish accessories. Now, a jewelry expert predicts that Meghan, who definitely wants to wow the crowds in Colombia, will opt to wear the same type of pieces.

August has not been kind to Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, despite Meghan turning 43.
The Royal couple launched their new program for parents, The Parents’ Network, the same day as an interview with Jane Pauley reportedly upset Meghan.
As Monsters and Critics has reported, Meghan wasn’t expecting the line of questioning from Jane about her feelings of suicide and suicidal ideations.
A royal biographer, Angela Levin, recounted that Meghan allegedly yelled and screamed at staffers after Jane asked her those questions for the CBS Sunday Morning show.
A key staff member quit just before Prince Harry and Meghan were supposed to go on a whirlwind trip to Colombia. This staffer was supposed to lead Prince Harry to his next career steps.
Prince Harry and Meghan’s trip to Colombia is not without controversy, and another royal biographer branded it as “high risk.”

Yet another employee, Josh Kettler, has left Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in his newly minted role as chief of staff days before the couple head to Columbia.
Kettler Traveled With Harry And Meghan To Nigeria
Kettler recently traveled with Harry and Meghan on their quasi-royal tour of Nigeria. The pair are set to visit Bogota, Cali, and Cartagena.
It has been said that Kettler was hired on a trial basis. He and the Sussexes both agreed that he “wasn’t a good fit,” so he left his position.
Kettler accompanied Harry and Meghan to Nigeria this past May. At the time, People magazine, which has always been pro-Sussex, claimed Kettler was “preparing to guide Harry through his next phase.”
Now that Kettler has jumped ship, he is among the 18 to 20 people who have quit. They have bailed on Harry and Meghan and their Archewell Foundation since 2018.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have left the working royal life behind and moved to California, but they still require the critical staff members they did in the United Kingdom.
Prince Harry and Meghan have multiple businesses, including a charitable foundation, The Archewell Foundation, and a large household, all requiring staff.
According to Newsweek, rumors have run rampant for years that Meghan Markle is hard on her staff, and there is a massive turnover.
After staff accused Meghan of bullying, the late Queen Elizabeth squashed news of the investigation to the public, as reported by Monsters and Critics.
Just ahead of another controversial trip for Prince Harry and Meghan, their Chief of Staff has suddenly quit as they are on the verge of a big trip.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have publicized a new CBS interview with Jane Pauly about cyber-bullying as the Duke puts his ignorance on full display as he made the odd comment that the couple are mental health “first responders.”
He said that it is impossible to assess the risk of suicide in a young person, implying that first responders don’t have the correct training to recognize the signs.
Harry Said Almost Every Parent Needs To Be A First Responder
They rambled on, making dangerous observations that clearly had no basis in reality.
“At this point, we’ve reached a stage where almost every parent needs to be a first responder. Even the best first responders in the world wouldn’t be able to tell the possible signs of suicide,”
Prince Harry declared.
Harry and Meghan are not mental health professionals and shouldn’t be making these claims on national television.

It’s been three years since Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, threw their families under Oprah Winfrey’s bus. She provided the vehicle and they drove with wild abandon, running over Princess Catherine, Prince Charles, and her nonexistent siblings.
The untruths they spewed were so vile that Meghan’s sister Samantha sued her for slander. So you can see how they would like to reverse the narrative that they are “f****** ******.”

Royal author claims Meghan Markle always had ulterior motives
Tom Bower, who authored the book Revenge: Harry, Meghan and the War Between the Windsors, sat down with The Sun to argue Meghan Markle never really intended to integrate herself into the royal family. He believes she saw marrying Prince Harry as a stepping stone in her career.
“We know now, in hindsight, that Meghan never really intended to stay,” Bower states. He believes secret clues regarding Meghan’s ultimate goal were evident at the couple’s wedding in May 2018.

My biggest fear as a child was that my mother would die. Yes, you might think––yours and everyone else’s. My fear, however, stemmed from something that seemed contradictory: I was afraid she would be murdered for doing good. When I was a child my mother started her work as a human-rights activist, spending her life empowering people who live on the margins of society and fighting injustice. She’s badass. But in a country like Honduras, where I was born and raised, women like her end up dead.
I am incredibly proud of her now that I’m an adult, but when I was little I didn’t understand why being part of a hunger strike was more important than being home, or why she had to go on trips to places everybody knew were dangerous. Did she not value her life? Every time my mom was on...

In the biographical documentary “Igualada,” the space between the presidential candidate Francia Márquez and the underrepresented Colombians she inspires is often electric with hope, yearning and recognition. Her 2021 campaign and movement motto, reflective of her African roots — “I Am Because We Are” — struck a chord with its deep humility and humanity. The image of a Black woman in a crowd listening raptly, her eyes brimming, comes as confirmation. But the activist turned presidential hopeful inspired anger. When she takes to a podium during a campaign stop, she stands behind the bulletproof shields of a police detail. The gathered can barely see her as she addresses them.
Director Juan Mejia Botero’s documentary, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, is rousing and intimate, making for an often moving, sometimes nerve-wracking ride. It’s those very qualities that also nudge occasional moments of very gentle skepticism: Is this really what the candidate is like?...

"We are the descendants of free men and women who were enslaved." Human Pictures has revealed a first look festival trailer for a documentary film titled Igualada, premiering at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival kicking off this week in Utah. One highly anticipated world cinema doc film showing at Sundance this year. Black Colombian activist Francia Márquez transforms a derogatory term, "Igualada," into a symbol of rights defiance. Her presidential campaign inspires the entire nation, challenging societal norms. In one of Latin America’s most unequal countries, Márquez, a Black Colombian rural activist, challenges the status quo with a presidential campaign that reappropriates the term "Igualada" — someone who acts as if they deserve rights that supposedly don't correspond to them — and inspires a nation to dream. This looks like a rousing and inspiring story of just how hard it is to fight against incredible oppression, another fascinating tale of tenacity & ambition.

The United States is approaching an incredibly important election this November, and it seems as if our choices for President are going to come down to two incredibly old, wealthy white men. For the most part, that’s been our choice since the country was founded more than two centuries ago. But the upcoming Sundance documentary, “Igualada,” aims to show that grassroots campaigns can lead to real change and upend the political norms.

New York-based The Film Sales Company has pounced on the worldwide rights to Colombian documentary feature “Igualada” by Juan Mejía Botero ahead of its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in the World Cinema Documentary Competition sidebar.
Mejía Botero, whose most recent feature documentary “Death by a Thousand Cuts” won the Audience Award at Doc NYC, chronicles politician Francia Márquez’s groundbreaking journey from her start as a rural grassroot activist to her history-making campaign to become not only the first black but also the first female president of her native Colombia.
Given exclusive access, Mejía Botero follows Márquez as she “dares to challenge the status quo by launching a presidential campaign in Colombia, a nation beset by profound racial and socio-economic disparities,” per the synopsis.
Reclaiming the derogatory term “igualada” (used to belittle individuals asserting rights deemed beyond their position in society), Márquez propels a movement into the upper spheres of influence,...
