Meghan Markle wore a “big smile” as she and Prince Harry visited a music school during the latest stage of their tour of Colombia.
The Sussexes were greeted by the sound of booming drums as they arrived at the Escuela Tambores de Cabildo in Cartagena, the second largest city in the Caribbean coastal region, on the third day of their official tour of the country.
During the visit on Saturday, they participated in a drum lesson led by students alongside Colombia’s vice president Francia Marquez and her husband.
The couple applauded a performance by local drummers and listened to community members, including children, teenagers and parents, speak about the importance of preserving Cartagena’s culture – particularly its Afro-Colombian roots.
The school’s founder, Rafael Ramos, said in Spanish: “I love seeing Meghan’s big, big smile – I can tell she’s excited.”
