Watch the Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed in Colombia by the country's Vice President on Thursday, August 15.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will embark on a four-day tour of the country in their capacity as private citizens, but the visit will have many of the hallmarks of a royal tour.
They will visit three cities, starting with the capital Bogotá, where they will be received by Vice President Francia Márquez, the first black woman to hold the office.
Márquez, who invited Harry and Meghan to the country, said in a statement: “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.”
During the tour, the couple will also discuss their work with the Archewell Foundation, in particular their efforts to combat the dangers that young people can encounter on the Internet.
They will discuss these dangers when they visit several Colombian schools, along with the importance of mental health awareness, having spoken about their struggles in this area.
Following the success of their trip to Nigeria earlier this year to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, they will be reunited with the Colombian Invictus team.
