key takeaways

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex began their four-day tour of Colombia by meeting the country's vice president.

Francia Márquez visited Prince Harry and Meghan on Thursday at her official house, having been inspired to do so after viewing a Netflix series about their lives.

The Sussexes, who have faced their own attacks on social media, have not confirmed who is funding the trip - which is neither a state visit nor an official royal event.

But they are being given a full security detail – something they no longer enjoy in the UK after stepping down as working royals in 2020.

Ms Márquez described the Sussexes’ trip as a "very special visit" aimed at building bridges, joining forces against cyber-bullying, online digital violence and discrimination, and promoting women's leadership in Colombia.

Meghan and Ms Márquez were pictured embracing as they warmly greeted each other, while the vice-president grasped Harry's hands when they were introduced.

Harry and Meghan also visited a school in Bogota and joined a summit about creating a healthier digital landscape.

The California-based couple are expected to spend time in the Cartagena and Cali areas during their trip.

The tour, which appears to be similar in many ways to an official royal visit, is the Sussexes' second this year, after their three-day visit to Nigeria in May.
