Vice President Francia Marquez had invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for a four-day visit, and she had received them at her private home.
It is intended that the visit will highlight the nation’s rich cultural legacy while also bringing attention to the couple’s personal concerns, which include commemorating the military community, female empowerment, and the effects of the digital era on youth.
The vice president said in advance of the visit how viewing their Netflix documentary on breaking away from the Royal Family had motivated her to extend the invitation.
She declared: “I was moved by the documentary and felt that this is a woman who should visit our nation to share her story.” Without a doubt, this exchange will empower a great number of women worldwide.
They will spend their first day in the country’s capital, Bogota, where they will visit a school to interact with students during an online safety session, take in a cultural exhibition, and attend a summit organized by Ms. Marquez that will focus on the pressing need to address the negative sides of technology and digital platforms.
The security concerns have garnered extra attention to their decision to travel there.
