Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s visit to Colombia, which began on Thursday, August 15, 2024, has been marked by a mixture of excitement and controversy.
The couple was received by Vice President Francia Márquez and took part in various activities, including a visit to a school and a musical performance in Bogotá, before attending a summit on internet security.
The tour, which has been described as a “royal tour,” seeks to highlight the Sussexes’ commitment to various social causes.
However, despite appearances, the tour has revealed some tensions, especially in Prince Harry.
Prince Harry’s body language in Colombia
According to body language experts, Prince Harry appears to be dealing with noticeable discomfort during his time in the country.
Judi James, consulted by The Mirror, observed that, despite his training in royal behavior, Harry presents moments of anxiety that contrast with the confidence and enjoyment displayed by Meghan.
While Meghan appears energetic and comfortable in her role, Harry appears more reserved and cautious. James notes that while Harry tries to actively participate, his body language often reveals an internal struggle.
His smile, while present, is marred by expressions of doubt and concern, suggesting that the visit may be generating complicated feelings in him.
The difference in the way the two deal with public attention is evident. Meghan, with an elegant and uninhibited posture, seems to have found her place in this environment, while Harry, though polite and courteous, conveys a sense of unease. This raises questions about how the Duke of Sussex is really feeling on this tour.
As the couple continues with their schedule in Colombia, which includes activities related to their Archewell Foundation, the contrast in their reactions and behaviors will continue to be a topic of interest
The tour, while full of opportunities for social engagement, also reveals the complexities of the Sussexes’ public life and their personal struggles in the context of their new reality.
