PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle talk “baloney” and everything is staged, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have just wrapped up a four-day visit to Colombia which some branded a “faux-royal” tour.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, writer and broadcaster Robert Jobson suggested that everything Meghan and Harry do is “fake”.

During an exclusive conversation with our Royal Editor, Matt Wilkinson, Jobson was quizzed about the nature of the Sussexes’ invite to Colombia.

In a speech before they arrived, Vice President Francia Marquez said she had invited them as she had “heard their story on Netflix”.

On the controversial documentary, royal expert Jobson did not hold back and said: “It wasn’t just fast and loose with the truth, a lot of it was complete baloney.”

He added: “They tried to give it an impression of a quasi-royal tour, they had elements of politics and elements of caring for young kids.

“At the end of the day what I don’t understand is, if Meghan and Harry wanted to do ‘quasi-royal tours’ why not stick around and do it properly.

“Then they would have been doing it for the King and the country which is what Harry always bangs on about.”

Jobson went on to discuss what Harry and Meghan have been doing and how it might play out in the future.

The royal expert said that the couple have had their setbacks with the loss of their CEO and inability to retain staff.

And he claims that the Sussexes should “build from the bottom” instead of focusing on “grand moments”.

Jobson said: “Just do things that are authentic, and just do things that are real rather then staged with loads of outfit changes.

“I think they need to work out what they want to do. They don’t come across as particularly authentic.”

He added: “I think they could just do some real work in America maybe and people will start to believe you.”

It comes as Meghan and Harry lost their chief-of-staff, Josh Kettler, just days before the couple’s Colombia trip.

Kettler has left his role as the couple’s fixer after only three months.

The veteran PR supremo had reportedly been brought in to “guide Harry through his next phase”.

But the staff member stepped down after three months in the role in what Team Sussex insisted was a “mutual decision.”

And a friend of Prince Harry has claimed that he “desperately wants to be admired” like William and Kate and misses his home.

One close friend, who claims to still receive messages from Harry, has revealed the Prince, who used to be so happy-go-lucky, is missing Britain.

As reported by The Times, an old pal of the former royal claimed he’d rather be in the UK with “everyone loving him” as Prince William and Princess Kate are.

The pal told the outlet: “He has ended up isolated from his family and most of his old mates.

“He’s an angry boy. Things haven’t turned out how he wanted.

“Anyone who knows him feels he’d rather be top of the pops here with everyone loving him, as they do with William and Kate.”

It comes after Prince William reportedly said he ‘does not want Harry at his coronation’.

The brothers are understood not to have spoken since the Queen’s funeral two years ago, when they “barely exchanged a word”, Harry wrote in Spare.

They were last seen together at King Charles’s Coronation last May but they were sat separately and the Duke made a quick escape.

And, Harry visited the UK to mark the 10th anniversary of his Invictus Games in May this year – but declined to meet up with either King Charles or his older brother.

A timeline of Prince Harry and William’s ‘feud’: Brothers ‘at war’

In 2018, the Sun told how “simmering tension” began when William questioned the speed of Harry and Meghan’s engagement.

The first hints of friction reportedly came after William was introduced to Meghan when she was staying at Kensington Palace.

Once she’d returned home to Canada, William and Harry sat down for a brother-to-brother chat.

He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for her but it has been claimed he advised him to take it slowly.

The younger prince reportedly didn’t take too kindly to the advice, with one royal source saying he “went mental”.

Then in June 2019 Harry and Meghan officially split off from the charity they shared with William and Kate.

The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours.

Prince William and Prince Harry first established the Royal Foundation in 2009 before Kate joined two years later shortly after their engagement was announced.

The trio would often appear together at events and the Foundation had huge successes with projects like the Invictus Games for injured veterans and the mental health Heads Together campaign.

The Royal Foundation said the decision was made following the conclusion of a review into its structure – but added both couples will continue to work together in the future.

Harry and Meg were living in close proximity to Kate and Wills within the Kensington Palace estate, but they switched to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor before baby Archie was born.

The move further increased rumours of a fallout.

Harry, 39, also hinted in his ITV documentary “Harry and Meghan, An African Journey” that he and his brother had grown apart.

It came after Prince Philip called Meghan the “D.O.W” after the Duchess of Windsor — the American divorcee who led Edward VIII to abdicate.

And he warned the late Queen to be “cautious” of Harry’s then bride-to-be, a royal author claims.

Ingrid Seward revealed in new book My Mother And I that Prince Philip felt it was “uncanny…how much Meghan reminded him of the Duchess of Windsor”.

In 2021, Harry and Meghan give their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey where Harry accused his dad of cutting him off financially.

Harry then jetted back to UK to join William in unveiling a statue to their mother Princess Diana in the grounds of Kensington Palace.

But sources claimed William didn’t want to attend the memorial amid their ongoing rift.

In 2022, just before their grandmother the Queen died, sources claimed Kate acts as a “peacemaker” between the brothers.

Last year Harry claimed his brother “knocked him to the floor” during an argument about Meghan.

In his book Spare, Harry said William branded Meghan “rude” and “difficult” during a row.

Harry alleged William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor”.

He said he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time.

In January this year, Harry flew in to be with Charles after the monarch’s shock cancer diagnosis.

Harry flew back to the US the following day – without seeing Wills.
