Footage of Harry and Meghan in Colombia was “very edited” and pictures looked “glossy and amazing,” GB News Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker has explained.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have wrapped up their tour of Colombia, after visiting the country upon invitation from the vice president.
Speaking about the footage received over the past four days, Cameron said on GB News: “Usually at this point in a foreign royal tour, I would be giving you the highlights and low-lights and then you guys make up your mind.
“To be honest, I’m finding it quite difficult to do. The reason is there was very limited independent coverage of the trip.
“There was one pool journalist permitted to cover the royal couple on their visit. And then that information would be shared with all the other journalists, which perhaps is to be expected, but it was very brief.
“There wasn’t much in the way of independence. Also, the videos and the photographs we were getting from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s team were very glossy.
“Megan looked amazing, Harry looked amazing as well, all smiles, all lovely. But all the footage as you might be able to hear, or not hear I should say, was muted.
“So you couldn’t hear a lot about what Prince Harry or Megan were saying. It was all very edited.
“Of course, it is their right because they are no longer working members of the Royal Family.
“So they can do a royal tour or not a royal tour, whichever way you want to look at it as they please.
“If they don’t want to share all the pictures with us, so be it.
“However, the question then is what is their aim? Arguably the biggest news line for the whole four-day tour was Prince Harry appearing to weigh in on the UK riots where he says what happens online within a matter of minutes, transfers to the streets.
“That is referring, of course, to online misinformation, a key theme of their trip, that quote was picked up by another camera.
“It wasn’t picked up by Harry and Meghan’s camera and it certainly wasn’t included in the pool copy provided by their team.”
