Harry and Meghan’s trip to Colombia later this year will not disappoint the King and Prince of Wales.
They feared the Sussex duo would choose another destination: a high-profile trip to the Paris Olympics.
Monarchs and crown princes from around the world have visited the French capital, along with members of the royal family from Hollywood.
Harry and Meghan’s presence is said to have not amused Charles and his heir.
Neither felt the urge to show up and cheer on Team GB.
Instead, Princess Anne last week and Duchess Sophie this week are doing the low-key honors. H&M’s PR team missed an open goal.

Royal silence over Olympics is deafening
At the start of the Olympic Games, Queen Camilla congratulated British riders via Twitter for winning gold in team eventing.
William and Kate did the same and Tom Pidcock received a ‘well done’ for his gold medal in mountain biking.
Nothing has happened since then, not even when the country’s favourite, Keely Hodgkinson, triumphed this week.
Social Status: At the start of the Olympics, Queen Camilla sent out a tweet to the world congratulating the British riders on winning gold in the Team Eventing competition, but nothing has happened since.
Camilla’s heartfelt message to the British Equestrian Team appeared on X
Why the deafening silence? The royals are on holiday and so are most of their PR teams.
Only one other event related to the Olympics attracted the attention of the remaining minimal staff.
William and Kate’s X marked Andy Murray’s retirement with a green heart emoji. Not exactly an over-the-top tribute.
Aimee’s Mancunian accent is White on the money
Manchester star Aimee Lou Wood, star of Sex Education, has been cast as an American in the third season of The White Lotus.
All fine and well, but Aimee Lou struggled with the required transatlantic accent.
“I did a self-recording, one with an American accent and one with my accent,” she says. “They were like, ‘Yeah, we want your own voice.’” Aimee now uses her Mancunian trill in The White Lotus.

The Kissing Story of Two Taylors
Recently discovered intimate footage of a drunk Elizabeth Taylor talks about her first on-screen kiss in a new documentary from film director Nanette Burstein.
She tells Radio Times that Taylor had her first kiss with actor Robert Taylor when she was 15 and he was in his late 30s.
“I don’t think you could do that today,” Burstein says. “She was being asked to play adult roles with men more than twice her age. It’s scary.”
It smells of scandal: Elizabeth Taylor (left) had her first kiss with actor Robert Taylor when she was 15 and he was in his late 30s.
Will Hugh start counting calories with Heidi?
Now that he’s reportedly dating glamorous ‘vegan influencer’ Heidi Kadlecova, will Hugh Bonneville get any help in his well-documented struggle with calories?
The Downton Abbey star’s dramatic weight loss has been in the news before, but the actor, who confirmed his split from wife Lulu of 25 years in September last year, is now back to his plump self.
Surely Heidi must be more likeable than the first Mrs Bonneville? Hugh remembered her once telling him bluntly, “You’re as fat as a pig.” Enjoy the pine nuts, Hugh!
Frank’s welcome attention
Frank Skinner boasts that once he became a celebrity he was suddenly attractive to women.
“To me, it was honestly like riding in a black cab with no lights,” he says in a podcast.
‘Nobody raised their hand and suddenly the light went on for me and I could, I think, have sex.’
Now that Frank is 67, does he look more like a run-down taxi company?
