Prince Harry and Meghan Markle traveled to Colombia for an official visit after announcing their plans for the trip in August
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex received a warm welcome from Colombia's Vice President, Francia Márquez, and her partner, Rafael Yerney Pinillo, at about 9 a.m. local time on Thursday, August 15, Us Weekly can confirm. Harry, 39, and Meghan, 43, enjoyed coffee, tea and traditional pan de bono at the vice president's residence before exchanging gifts with Márquez and Pinillo. In the first photo from the trip, the Duchess warmly embraces Vice President Márquez.
The Sussexes announced in August that they had accepted Márquez's invitation to venture to the South American country. Márquez noted that the trip was scheduled for “a particularly significant time, as it precedes the first Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children, to be held in Colombia this November.”
Earlier this year, Harry and Meghan embarked on their first official tour of Nigeria, traveling within the country for three days in May. The trip allowed the pair to promote their foundation’s mental health work and the Invictus Games.
