Arriving hand in hand on the first day of their tour of Colombia, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex looked relaxed and very much in love as they took in the sights and sounds of the joyful scene.
Upon their touchdown in the capital Bogotá, Prince Harry, 39, and his wife Meghan, 43, were greeted by vice president Francia Márquez, before heading off to an arts centre to take in a breathtaking celebration of Colombia's culture.
Just as with their visit to Nigeria back in May, similarities were drawn between the style of this tour and the previous foreign engagements they carried out as senior members of the royal family. However, a leading royal expert feels this may be the key to Harry and Meghan maintaining their success.
"It had all the hallmarks of a royal tour: an official welcome, a cultural event to follow and then the serious business of the discussions about online dangers for children," former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond exclusively tells OK!
"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, 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." With their trip focusing on topics such as gender equality and safeguarding young people from online harm, the pair were given the perfect opportunity to sparkle on the world's stage without returning to the UK.
