Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made a major decision as the couple prepare to embark on a four-day “faux royal” tour following their successful visit to Nigeria.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will travel to Colombia this summer at the invitation of Vice President Francia Márquez, as she herself announced, reported Mirror.
“As Vice President of Colombia and Minister for Equality and Equity, I am pleased to announce that Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have kindly accepted my invitation to visit our beautiful country,” Márquez said in an official statement.
She revealed that the aim of Sussex's upcoming trip is to promote her Archewell Foundation's global leadership in creating a safer online environment.
The California-based couple, who left the royal family in 2020 in hopes of building their life in the United States, away from public scrutiny, will travel to the capital, Bogotá, among other places.
“In these vibrant places, they will have the exceptional opportunity to interact with leaders, young people and women who embody the aspirations and voices of Colombians committed to progress,” continued Márquez.
“In addition to these meaningful interactions, the Duke and Duchess will experience Colombia’s rich heritage,” he added.
Márquez added: “The conference will present a global framework for creating safer physical and virtual spaces, addressing issues such as cyberbullying, online exploitation and the impact of these threats on mental health.”
“It will offer practical solutions and commitments for countries around the world. During their visit, the Duke and Duchess, as well as the Archewell Foundation, will take part in a range of activities related to this important issue.”
