Duchess Meghan is continuing her fashion streak for day three of her and Prince Harry’s visit to Colombia.
Today, the couple toured Escuela Tambores de Cabildo, a local musical school based in the city of Cartagena that trains young people in the art of traditional African drumming. They met with the school’s founder, Rafael Ramos, to participate in a drum lesson and performance with students (and the Sussexes even got to dance a little, too). Later, Meghan and Harry spoke with students, parents, and fellow community members about the significance of programs like the ones provided by the school that help preserve Cartagena’s Afro-Colombian culture and roots—especially amid growing gentrification in the city.
During their visit, Colombia’s vice president, Francia Márquez, talked about Meghan and Harry being public figures who use their voices and platforms to speak against injustice. “The Duke and Duchess came to Colombia…this is Colombia. This is where the roots of our ancestors and our forefathers are from, ” Márquez said. “A community like this cannot be displaced.”
For the lively occasion, Meghan beamed in a Johanna Ortiz set that included a black camisole and flowy black pants, both featuring a unique striped rope pattern. She finished off her look with her tan Aquazzura sandals and a few of her signature accessories, including Cartier’s Juste un Clou collar necklace.
As for the Duke of Sussex, Harry wore a blue Luca Faloni shirt paired with beige pants from Banana Republic and suede John Vavartos shoes.

Meghan and Harry arrived in Colombia earlier this week at the invitation of Márquez. The four-day trip—which marks their first official joint visit to Colombia—has thus far taken them through the capital city of Bogotá, and will later have them travel to Cali.
“In these vibrant locations, they will have the exceptional opportunity to engage with leaders, youth, and women who embody the aspirations and voices of Colombians committed to progress,” Márquez said in a previous statement. “In addition to these meaningful interactions, The Duke and Duchess will experience the rich heritage of Colombia.”
This visit is the duke and duchess’ third international trip of the year, following previous excursions to Canada in February and Nigeria in May.
