The coupleâs visit, filled with cultural exchanges and meaningful interactions, began on a warm note following a special invitation from Colombiaâs Vice President, Francia MĂĄrquez, and her husband, Rafael Yerney Pinillo.

Throughout their tour, the couple displayed a united front, holding hands and exchanging affectionate glances, which didnât go unnoticed by onlookers. The trip also unearthed a significant historical connection between Colombia and Prince Harryâs late mother, Princess Diana.
During a press conference preceding the coupleâs visit, Vice President MĂĄrquez revealed that Diana had once considered visiting Colombia before her tragic passing in 1997.

âI think that Prince Harry being here today after that dream of his momâs of visiting this country is an opportunity to show the best of our nation, to show who Colombians are. We are people who in the midst of adversities do everything possible to give the best of ourselves,â MĂĄrquez stated.
MĂĄrquez further elaborated on the inspiration behind her invitation to the Sussexes. She recounted how watching the Netflix docu-series âHarry & Meghan,â which detailed the coupleâs journey and challenges with the British Royal Family, had profoundly impacted her.

âI saw the Netflix series about their life, their story, and that moved me and motivated me to say that this is a woman who deserves to come to our country and tell her story, and her exchange will undoubtedly be an empowerment to so many women in the world,â MĂĄrquez explained.
Her admiration for Markleâs resilience and advocacy played a key role in organizing the visit, which also aimed to foster collaboration on pressing social issues like cyberbullying and online discrimination.

The Vice President and the royal couple shared a common goal of empowering women and promoting digital safety. MĂĄrquez expressed her desire to join forces with Markle and Prince Harry, especially given their work through their foundation, the Archewell Foundation.
Colombiaâs participation in the 2023 Invictus Games was another important connection, marking the nation as the first South American country to join. The Invictus Games is Prince Harryâs international sporting event for wounded, injured, and sick service personnel.

Body Language Experts Weigh In on Markle and Prince Harryâs Interactions During Their Tour
Kicking off their tour, Markle and Prince Harry enjoyed a traditional Colombian snack of pandebonoâa cheesy bread treatâalong with freshly brewed coffee at Vice President MĂĄrquezâs residence.
According to body language expert Judi James, Prince Harryâs demeanor upon arrival indicated a conscious effort to downplay his royal status. James noted that the Duke appeared to purposefully take a backseat during their interactions, allowing his wife to shine.
âHarryâs body language on their arrival and as they greet their host suggests some status-lowering, as though he is keen to avoid pulling royal rank here,â James explained. She emphasized that Prince Harryâs reserved expressions and non-performative behavior pointed to his intention to let Markle take the spotlight.
James further observed how the Duchessâs confident and poised body language contrasted with her husbandâs more subdued approach. While Markle greeted the vice president with warmth and familiarity, Prince Harryâs introduction was more reserved.
âMeghan greets the host warmly, using non-verbal signals that would normally imply a long, fond friendship,â James remarked.
Markleâs extended hold on the handshake and her fond smile gave the impression that she was delighted to facilitate the introduction between Prince Harry and MĂĄrquez, almost as if she was playing the role of the connector.
On the other hand, Prince Harry responded with a respectful bow, signaling deference as he engaged in a two-handed handshake with MĂĄrquez. The coupleâs public interactions later in the day provided further insight into their dynamic.

Stepping out to greet fans, Markle adopted what James described as a âHey, Iâm here!â pose, exuding confidence and star power. Her broad, symmetrical smile and composed stance reflected her comfort in the limelight.
According to James, Markleâs demeanor suggested she was fully embracing her role as a public figure. Harryâs body language, on the other hand, hinted at a disconnect between his emotions and his wifeâs.

The couple sat with Vice President MĂĄrquez as they enjoyed the show. The Duchess of Sussex was seen chatting animatedly with Vice President MĂĄrquez, pointing out details in the dancersâ costumes, before shaking hands with the performers at the end of the showcase.
The couple also clapped and engaged with other guests. However, Prince Harryâs discomfort was apparent to those closely observing. James noted that, despite his royal background, he seemed less at ease than his wife.
âAt times, he was actively laughing and chatting using animated gesticulation, but there were also âflashâ moments when his smile dropped and his facial expression looked almost dour in comparison to his wifeâs,â James noted.

Speaking to GB News, Cole commented, âIf you look at Meghan, sheâs there, she comes out, sheâs got the suit, sheâs got the smile, she is on point, and sheâs doing everything that she could have done had she stayed within the bosom of the Royal Family, and doing it rather well.â

In contrast, Cole noted that Prince Harryâs body language reflected a sense of distance and hesitation. While he managed to smile at times, it was evident that Markle was the more enthusiastic participant.
