Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Visit Colombia

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to travel to Colombia for four days, visiting Bogotá, Cartagena, and Cali at the invitation of Vice President Francia Márquez. Their trip, which coincides with the upcoming Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children in November, aims to engage with local leaders and communities, focusing on issues related to child welfare and mental health. Among their itinerary, they will visit San Basilio de Palenque, the first 'free town' for escaped slaves in the Americas, recognized for its unique culture and language. Despite the trip's significance, it follows the departure of their chief of staff after just three months, highlighting ongoing challenges within their team. The Sussexes' visit occurs amidst travel advisories due to Colombia's security concerns, with both the UK and US government cautioning against certain areas. The couple's continued focus on mental health and social issues aligns with their Archewell Foundation's mission to address cyberbullying and its effects.
