During Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s recent four-day visit to Colombia, Meghan reportedly took swift action to protect her husband from a potential diplomatic incident. The trip drew significant attention, with royal expert Angela Levin noting Meghan’s careful efforts to “keep control” of the situation.
According to Levin, speaking to GB News, Harry was confronted with a sensitive question about apologizing for historical slavery—a topic for which he was unprepared. “What was very difficult to understand or accept was that Harry was asked if he would apologize about the slaves,” Levin explained. “He hasn’t any understanding to do that. If by any chance he does—or did—we can’t tell because they didn’t have any sound; you couldn’t hear.”
'Meghan wanted to keep control and Harry didn't want any journalists to know exactly what he was saying.'

Levin highlighted concerns that the visit could spiral into a “diplomatic nightmare,” especially given the nature of the question. Interestingly, during Harry’s response, the volume was turned down, making it impossible to hear his answer and effectively avoiding any potential diplomatic fallout.
Throughout the visit, Meghan reportedly took decisive steps to manage the situation, ensuring that no sensitive remarks were made public. Angela Levin suggested that Meghan’s actions were deliberate, aimed at preventing any missteps that could complicate relations with the British monarchy or other nations.
Levin told GB News, “I imagine Meghan wanted to keep control, and Harry didn’t want any journalist to know exactly what he was saying… there was no volume. So you couldn’t actually find out what they were doing. The question was asked, it was heard, but we don’t know what he said. If he were to address it, it could be very difficult for the King.”
Meghan’s handling of the situation reflects her awareness of the delicate balance they must maintain as they navigate their public roles post-royalty. By ensuring that Harry’s response remained unheard, Meghan effectively shielded him—and potentially the Royal Family—from any unintended controversy.
The couple’s visit to Colombia may have been fraught with challenges, but Meghan’s quick thinking appears to have prevented a diplomatic misstep, underscoring her role as both protector and strategist in their ongoing journey. As the world watches their every move, Meghan’s actions during this trip are a reminder of the complexities they face as they continue to carve out their place on the global stage.
