Prince Harry and Meghan Markle started their royal tour of Colombia on Thursday. Royal fans were delighted to see Meghan arrive wearing a chic tailored vest and matching pants by Veronica Beard. The Duchess of Sussex also matched her milky white manicure to her Loro Piana bag, which retails for $4,700, for a striking start to the tour.
The royal tour began with the couple meeting Colombia's vice president, Francia Márquez, and her partner. As reported by The Daily Telegraph's deputy royal editor Victoria Ward on X, "They enjoyed tea, coffee and traditional pan de bono (Colombian cheese bread)... Ms Márquez said H&M shared her vision for a safer digital future."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex continued the first day of their tour of Colombia with a visit to charter school Colegio Cultura Popular in Bogotá. A student named José David greeted Meghan and Harry upon their arrival, alongside headmaster Leonel Umaña Parra, People reported. They subsequently attended "an Insight Session discussing social media with pupils," the publication noted, and photos showed the pair listening intently.
