Harry and Meghan attended a training session with Invictus Games Team Colombia at the Centro de Rehabilitación Inclusiva on Friday.
The couple toured the sports center’s facilities, including the cardiovascular room, where they interacted with Invictus Games athletes. Meghan and Harry were impressed by the athletes’ dedication and skills, and Meghan even received a special gift from one of the artists.
The Sussexes joined Vice President Francia Márquez and her partner in a friendly game of sitting volleyball.
Prince Harry and the vice president’s partner actively participated in the match, while Meghan and the vice president cheered from the sidelines.
Prince Harry was presented with a commemorative plaque from the Ministry of National Defense Veterans in recognition of his contributions to the Invictus Games and his support for Colombian wounded, injured, and sick service personnel.

Meghan looked effortlessly chic in a crisp white button-down shirt from Giuliva Heritage tucked into a cream maxi skirt from Colombian designer Juan De Dios. She completed the ensemble with brown Jimmy Choo sandals and delicate gold earrings by Ecksand.
Prince Harry opted for a casual look, sporting a black Vince polo, gray Banana Republic jeans, and comfortable gray Vince slide-on sneakers.

UPDATE: PLEASE SEE OUR SEPARATE POST ABOUT THE PRIVATE LUNCHEON – LINK HERE.
Earlier today, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended a luncheon hosted by Vice President Francia Márquez. The event provided an opportunity for the couple to engage in meaningful discussions, which included the defense of the rights of girls and boys and security in digital spaces, ahead of the upcoming Ministerial Conference on the Elimination of Violence Against Children, scheduled to take place in Bogotá this November.
We hope to have more information to share on this engagement tomorrow.
Now our look at what Meghan wore.
Harpers Bazaar reports that Meghan wore a white button down shirt from Giuliva Heritage. The brand has confirmed with me that it is the ‘Husband’ style in off-white silk, €865. The off white version is not available on the site — we show the green version below.
Meghan wore a skirt from Colombian based designer Juan De Dios — the Amaime Silk Martellato Midi Skirt in Ivory Green Chintz, $450.
Juan De Dios is a Latin American resort-wear brand inspired by the beauty of nature, particularly the Colombian bay Playa Juan De Dios. The brand’s designs feature exotic elements like chontaduro, cacao, plantain leaves, and orchids, expressed through intricate prints and unique color combinations.
Once again The Duchess wore her Jimmy Choo – Etana Mule 50 Leather Sandal, reg. $875 now $570 on Gilt.
Meghan wore a new pair of earrings today. Once again, Bazaar reports that the earrings are from Montreal based brand Ecksand. The brand confirmed with us today that they are the Ecksand Emerald and Pink Sapphire Dangle Earrings with Accent Diamonds, $2,485.
Ecksand had these words to share about Meghan wearing their earrings —
“We are honored to be part of this moment,” said Erica Bianchini, co-founder of Ecksand. “Her commitment to sustainability and making thoughtful, impactful choices aligns perfectly with our brand’s mission to create jewelry that is not only beautiful but also meaningful. Meghan’s choice highlights the importance of aligning personal style with personal values, and we are thrilled to see our pieces resonate with someone who shares our vision for a more ethical and sustainable future.”
She also wore her staple Cartier pieces.

UPDATE: Please see our separate post for more details on Meghan’s Oscar de la Renta dress and accessories in our separate post – link here.
or the luncheon, Meghan wore a bright blue maxi dress. The dress has been a bit more challenging to find but we hope to have more information on it tomorrow.
The dress reminded us of the blue piece she wore in July 2020 for her Zoom call — originally thought to have been a top from Adam Lippes.
Many were reminded of the Fujian blue Safiyaa gown Meghan wore while the couple were visiting Fiji in 2018.
I noticed a diamond necklace peaking through the neckline of the dress and am wondering if it might be her Logan Hollowell ‘Baby Reverse Water Drop’ Diamond Tennis Necklace. We’re hoping to see more photos tomorrow that may reveal additional details.
Please be sure to check back for updates to the post. We expect to see the couple sometime tomorrow late morning or early afternoon. Watch our social media for updates.
Special thanks today to Mary of Meghan’s Closet Chronicles — We spent quite a bit of time this evening searching and discussing the pieces Meghan wore today!
I love how Meghan wears button downs with beautifully patterned skirts. It’s definitely a signature look for her & it works! ❤️
This is definitely a signature look for Meghan, which is why I’m surprised that her shirt sleeves don’t look neatly rolled up. They look awkward and uneven. I wonder if she did it casually herself, and not as a deliberate part of her look? I find it jarring that the sleeves look so messy in an otherwise fine outfit. I think the color and pattern of the skirt is so pretty, I’d like to see it paired with a more tailored top.
I do like how often she’s been wearing her hair in a ponytail on this tour. It looks very pretty, feminine and yet still professional.
Another really fun look! This skirt is so pretty and the whole look screams ‘Meghan’! It looks like she found a nice pattern on these abroad visits in which she wears a white button-down (her signature look) with a skirt that pays homage to the country she’s visiting, like one of her last looks in Nigeria! I like it very much!
Also thank you for the wonderful coverage, these back-to-back engagement haven’t been easy I’m sure, but you’re doing a wonderful job!
Thais – thank you so much for your kind words! I’ll be taking a long nap after all of this! LOL – Susan
Keep up the good work. Your commentary and your attention to detail are excellent.
Nancy, Thank you so much for your kind words and support! – Susan
Enjoying the coverage very much – great causes and great looks.. love the local designer highlights! So cool Meghan has kept up with her Spanish. Thanks for all your hard work!
I hope it’s okay for me to say that the BRF missed an opportunity with this couple; they really shine abroad. ☀️
Emily, totally agree with everything you said! Meghan looks absolutely gorgeous- she’s nailed the style on this tour (Harry looks pretty good, too!). And I hope the BRF realizes what they’re missing.
For sure, this visit could be a great credit to the UK. Too bad that things didn’t work out, the BRF is missing of them due to their own fault 🙁
The blue dress could be Caroline Herrera
Hi Betsy – the blue dress is Oscar de la Renta. I have a feeling it’s something that she’s had and wore back in 2020 for the Girl Up zoom call. Thanks Susan
Could the white button down shirt be the same one that Meghan wore to lunch with Gloria Steinem and/or on the Time 100 cover? And I think you might be right about the blue dress being the same one that she wore to the Girls up zoom call.
Hi Amy, the white button down is from Giuliva Heritage – as confirmed by the brand and in Harper’s Bazaar last night. Thanks, Susan
Quel régal !
C’est touchant. Ce projet d’Invictus Game est REMARQUABLE !
