Royal tours are what Meghan Markle and Prince Harry "enjoyed most" about their life as senior working royals, a royal expert has claimed.

Meghan and Harry recently paid a four-day visit to Colombia, a visit that came following an invitation from the country's vice president Francia Marquez.

Speaking of the couple, an insider now claims that Meghan and Harry are "keen" to carry out more tours - as travelling and meeting new people on tours was what they loved about their life as royals.

An insider told GB News: "Both Meghan and Harry are keen to do more of these tours as that’s what they love doing and what they enjoyed most about royal life."

Despite this, the insider claims that the couple are "embarrassed" by the backlash they have received following this trip and their visit to Nigeria earlier this year.

The insider continued: "But they’ve been left embarrassed by this latest backlash, especially as they faced similar comments when they went to Nigeria."

Many people have criticised Harry and Meghan's foreign visits for trying to emulate official royal tours - something that is usually done as representatives of a head of state to secure positive international relations.

Now as non-working royals, Meghan and Harry carried out their recent visits in a personal capacity to raise awareness of various issues.

Speaking of their recent visits, the source continued: "They want to help raise awareness of the issues some of these countries face and they know their profile can highlight that.

"They also know that these trips help elevate their status in Hollywood and in turn help their brand. They don’t want to stop doing them but are unsure of what to do next to win everyone over again."

Since stepping down from royal duties, Meghan and Harry now reside in the US with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.

The couple stepped down at the start of 2020, citing that they had a desire to become "financially independent".
