Why Colombia, you ask? The Sussexes have been personally invited by none other than the country's vice president, Francia Marquez, a powerhouse of human rights and environmental activism. Their visit promises a blend of engaging with community leaders, youth, and women who are the driving forces behind Colombia's push for progress. From Bogota to the picturesque regions of Cartagena and Cali, Harry and Meghan are set to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Colombian culture.

But it's not all play for the Sussexes. Their visit is aligned with serious themes of safeguarding young people both online and offline. With Colombia hosting the Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children in November, the royal couple's visit is timely. They'll be involved in activities focusing on creating safer digital and physical spaces for children, addressing cyberbullying, online exploitation, and the mental health impacts of these issues.
