    Prince William and King Charles are furious with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle because of their Colombia tour, according to an expert .

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are visiting the South American country to meet with children to talk about the digital landscape. They will also visit a music festival and meet with the Vice President Francia Márquez.

    News of their trip is believed to have angered the Royal Family . Royal author Tom Quinn has suggested William and Charles are angry with the Sussexes and have accused them of clinging to their royal fame.

    Speaking exclusively to The Mirror US, Quinn said: "Impotent fury is the dominant feeling among the senior royals in the face of Harry and Meghan’s imminent fake royal tour of Columbia." He added: "Prince William and his father see the Columbia visit as a desperate attempt by the Sussexes to maintain their public profile, in the face of mounting evidence that the couple’s star is waning.

    "Numerous polls in the States suggest that Meghan and Harry are no longer seen as either interesting or influential and that will be causing the couple a great deal of pain. Their response?

    "Visit any country that will have them and pay them the sort of attention they think they deserve." The expert also warned the tour will "make any chance of a reconciliation between Harry and his family even more remote."

    Quinn continued: "King Charles and Prince William can’t stop the tour going ahead, but they are furious that having agreed to give up their role as working Royals, Meghan and Harry have once again broken the deal and are trying to cash in on their Royal status to make up for the failure of their business ventures."

    ‌He also suggested Harry and Meghan will be busy trying to organize future tours. He told us: "Playing royal is now seen by the couple as their safety net.

    "When all else fails they can at least play at being real royals. As the couple have realized playing royal is so much easier than making your way in the world of business and entertainment.

    "A fake Royal tour in a country where Meghan and Harry can probably pass as the real thing will always be a temptation – Meghan and Harry have always loved being fed, pampered and entertained as celebrities and as time passes, we will see them doing a great deal more of this sort of thing, even if it really annoys Harry’s family back in the UK."
