Meghan Markle and Prince Harry dance salsa at the end of the royal tour
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal tour of Colombia came to an end on Sunday after the couple spent four days travelling around the country.
The Sussexes followed a nonstop schedule during the trip, which included meeting “bright and accomplished” students at a school in Bogotá. Meghan and Harry played drums during a subsequent school visit and met the Colombian Invictus Games team during a stop at the Centro de Rehabilitación Inclusiva. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also spoke Spanish as they met kindergarten children. And we just can’t forget Duchess Meghan’s Colombia tour outfits, which were all flawless.
On Saturday, the couple had a lot of fun visiting Cartagena and the village of San Basilio de Palenque, where Daily Mail. Tubarco News shared video footage of X salsa dancing with the Sussexes, and the couple looked very relaxed together on the dance floor.
On Sunday, the Petronio Álvarez Festival Instagram account shared a video of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex receiving a special gift on stage. The couple were given a musical instrument to commemorate their royal tour of Colombia and appeared delighted as they received the gift. They were photographed alongside Colombia’s Vice President Francia Márquez and her partner Yerney Pinillo.
Before the Sussexes’ arrival, Márquez revealed that she invited the royals to Colombia after watching their Netflix documentary series. “I first met them through the media and especially saw the Netflix series about their life and their story, which moved me deeply,” Márquez said at a press conference on August 15. “It motivated me to say, ‘This is a woman who deserves to visit our country and share her story.'”
Meghan had the opportunity to speak at the Afro-Descendant Women and Power: Voices of Equity Summit on August 18. The special event “spotlighted Afro-Colombian women leaders who spoke about the challenges they face due to racism, gender bias and other issues.” People reported.
At the event, the Duchess of Sussex revealed that she has now entered a “chapter of joy”. She said: “The more you are able to look at your life and really and truly realise that if you are going to be grateful for your life, you have to be grateful for all aspects – the parts that offered opportunities for growth and perhaps felt really difficult, as well as the parts that felt inspiring, joyful and fulfilling.” She continued: “My intention is to enjoy this chapter and to get through every part of it as best as I can.”
Meghan particularly acknowledged her experiences during the royal tour, telling the audience: “Because we are in your country, my husband and I can feel this embrace from Colombia – it’s incredible.” She continued: “The culture, the history – all of it – was a dream. This trip was a dream.”
It seems that Meghan and Harry’s royal tour of Colombia was a great success and showed how determined and hopeful they are for the future.
