The Duke and Duchess of Sussex began their highly anticipated four-day tour of Colombia with a warm welcome from the country’s Vice President, Francia Márquez.
The couple arrived in the capital on Thursday and were greeted by Mrs Márquez and her husband Rafael Yerney Pinillo.
The visit to the South American country, which has many similarities to the program of an official royal visit abroad, is the second visit by Prince Harry and Meghan this year after their three-day visit to Nigeria at the invitation of the West African country’s Chief of General Staff.
