Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been scolded for their "hypocrisy" over their upcoming trip to Colombia, as the couple continue to claim the UK is "unsafe" for them to visit.
In the Duke's latest snub, it was reported that Harry is not expected to attend the funeral of his uncle Lord Fellowes, who died last month.
Despite the royal couple's security fears for Britain, it was announced that the Sussexes will visit the South American country Colombia, following an invitation from the vice president.
Comparing the two countries, commentator Adam Brooks said their decision to visit Colombia over the UK is "crazy", and he "doesn't believe a word they say".

Brooks told GB News: "I've never hidden my my thoughts on these two, I really can't stand them if I'm honest. He's as wet and as hypocritical as they come, and she's one massive diva.
"It's a shame because in 2018, I threw a party for their wedding, the nation was on a buzz. I thought it would help race relations, and I thought it was great that he was marrying her, but she's just turned out to be a disaster. And I think she's nearly split up the Royal Family."
Offering his thoughts on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's latest move, former Labour Minister Bill Rammell claimed that it is "hogwash" for the couple to compare the UK's level of security to a country such as Colombia.
Rammell explained: "As a minister, I went to Colombia three times, and I only went with protection officers because it's one of the most dangerous countries in the world.

"However, I think you can have some sympathy for him. He's a damaged young man, he lost his mother at a very early age and that's clearly scarred him.
"He's estranged from his father and his brother, and speaking as a human being, not a monarchist, I think that's very sad."
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
In criticism of the upcoming Colombia trip, which is expected to highlight the issue of "online harms" for children, commentator Emma Webb argued that online safety is the "least of their worries" in the region.
Webb told GB News: "Did they call out Boko Haram and the kidnapping of schoolgirls when they were in Nigeria? I don't think they did.
"For young people in both Colombia and Nigeria, online harms are probably the least of their worries and the two of them just seem so out of touch. There is something kind of absurd about the two of them. It's almost a kind of level of detachment that is delusional in some way."
Turning the discussion to the exit of the couple's chief of staff after just three months in the role, Rammell advised the couple to "get professional help" with their image as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex brand.

Rammell said: "To lose one member of staff from your entourage might be deemed unfortunate - to lose 18 in 6 years is a bit of a disaster. And I think they need to get a grip.
"They need to hire some decent staff. More importantly, they need to listen to them and bluntly be told what to do because they're trashing their brand."
Echoing Rammell's thoughts, Webb claimed the exit of another Sussex staff member is "extraordinary".
She told GB News: "They are continually trying to launder their reputation while holding on to that victim mentality. It's gone past the point of being annoying now. And in a way, I almost feel a bit sorry for them."
GB News has approached the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for comment.
