The insider added that Prince Archie, five, is more likely to make the trip to South America with the Sussexes than his younger sister, Princess Lilibet, three.
The source told OK: "Meghan is debating whether to bring the children with her as she feels they’re old enough, especially Archie, to enjoy a trip like this and meet people from different cultures.
"She’s well aware that it would bring extra attention and that if the four of them are pictured on the tour, it again adds to their brand."
Security concerns have been raised regarding the overseas tour but an insider told the Mail the couple will have a lot of security with them as they will be with vice president Francia Márquez.

"But people are grumbling about why the Colombian taxpayer should pick up what will be huge security costs for what is essentially a public relations exercise for the Sussexes and for a government which desperately needs to deflect away from its failures."
