The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, are currently on a visit to Colombia to promote their latest initiative aimed at tackling cyberbullying.
The royal couple, who have been vocal advocates for online safety, accepted an invitation from Colombia's Vice President, Francia Márquez, and were officially welcomed at her residence in Bogotá on Thursday.
Their visit comes as part of a broader campaign to raise awareness about the growing threats posed by cyberbullying, particularly among children and young people.
The couple's efforts have been met with commendation, particularly from royal observers, who noted the significance of their work in this area.
Royal expert Jennie Bond, speaking to OK! Magazine, remarked on the couple's approach to their public appearances. “It’s becoming their signature look… arriving hand in hand, Harry looking pretty casual, Meghan looking sharp, stylish, and glamorous,” she said.
Bond also pointed out the quasi-royal nature of the tour, highlighting the official welcome from Vice President Márquez, followed by a cultural event, and serious discussions around online safety.
“It’s all too easy to poke fun at them for doing this semi-royal stuff after they fled the life of working royals in the UK,” Bond noted. “But they are making us talk about the dangers of the internet to our children and looking for solutions. And that has to be applauded.”
The Sussexes’ commitment to combating cyberbullying has become a central theme of their public work since stepping back from their royal duties in the UK. Their visit to Colombia underscores their ongoing efforts to address online harm and advocate for safer digital spaces, particularly for younger generations.
