Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's mid-August "faux royal tour" of Colombia has been labeled "the Meghan show," thanks to the former actress stealing the spotlight. This apparently had the rebel Duke looking "grumpy" during a key moment of the trip.

This led royal editor Matt Wilkinson to dish, "A lot of it was about Meghan. A lot of the images and the words sent out to us via the [Sussex] press office, [not] just by a pool reporter… it was all about Meghan. The whole thing was created about Meghan."

Prince Harry looking 'grumpy' during his and Meghan Markle's tour of Colombia, August 17, 2024.

Although the trip's photographic record shows several images of Harry looking enthusiastic, his pouty expressions seemed to come during moments that focused heavily on Meghan.

Wilkinson added, "And when you saw the footage that was filmed by people at the dinners or people who were there that weren't part of this press pool, they showed a slightly different picture. Harry looked a little bit grumpy. May I use his vocabulary — he perhaps looked a bit like 'the spare!'"

The pair were in the South American nation at the request of its government, specifically Vice President Marquez, who said she wanted to ask them on the tour since she was moved by their 2022 Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan.

The Duke and Duchess promoted "The Parent's Network," which according to the couple's website, is a "global community [that] aims to provide crucial support to parents whose children have suffered from the harmful effects of social media, from facing near-fatal harm, managing ongoing mental health difficulties, or experiencing the tragic loss of a child."

The Duchess reportedly wasted no time in "running the show" once they officially arrived on Thursday, August 15. Insiders have stepped forward to claim this "domineering" pattern of behavior when combined with Meghan dominating the spotlight has left Harry a shell of his former self.

"Harry is feeling more and more isolated in California, which is why he has been reconnecting with old friends back home," a source said. "The Colombia trip also really highlighted how Meghan is comfortable stepping into the spotlight, while Harry cuts a very sulky, unhappy figure in the background. He wants to carve out a way back into royal life back in the U.K. and is seeking counsel from old friends and associates."
