Just In: Date of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s ‘faux royal tour’ announced

The Duke and Duchess will travel to the capital Bogota and elsewhere with hopes of a repeat of the rapturous reception on the couple’s state visit-like tour of Nigeria. Harry and Meghan will fly in at the invitation of vice-president Francia Márquez, who serves as equality minister.

She said: “They will have the exceptional opportunity to engage with leaders, youth, and women who embody the aspirations and voices of Colombians committed to progress. In addition to these meaningful interactions, The Duke and Duchess will experience the rich heritage of Colombia.”

The jaunt will take place this summer, ahead of the first Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children, which is set to be held in Colombia this November. Vice-president Márquez added: “The Archewell Foundation, founded by The Duke and Duchess, is renowned for its global leadership in fostering a safer online environment.

“The forthcoming conference will unveil a comprehensive framework for creating safer physical and digital spaces, tackling issues such as cyberbullying, online exploitation, and the mental health impacts of these threats. It will offer actionable solutions and commitments for countries around the world.”
