This afternoon The Duke and Duchess of Sussex brought their infectious energy to Unidad Recreativa El Vallado in Cali, where they joined forces with Jóvenes en Cali, a dynamic youth organization dedicated to empowering young people through the arts.
From the moment they arrived, it was clear that this was no ordinary visit. The couple was greeted with enthusiastic cheers and a vibrant display of salsa and hip hop performances, showcasing the city’s rich cultural heritage.
True to their hands-on approach, Harry and Meghan couldn’t resist joining the young dancers on the floor, adding their own moves to the rhythm of the lively music. The sight of the couple dancing alongside the students brought smiles all around, creating a moment of shared joy and connection.
Video clips of the couple joining other for some salsa dancing.

After the performances, the couple took the time to engage directly with the youth, listening to their personal stories and gaining insight into the challenges they face. They were moved by the students’ resilience and the ways in which they have harnessed the power of music and dance to overcome adversity and build brighter futures.
Prince Harry, always the advocate for youth empowerment, spoke passionately to the group, saying,
I hope you understand how much your actions impact the people and children in your communities. The path you’ve chosen will inspire and drive change for hundreds, even thousands, of young people.”
Meghan, too, offered words of encouragement, praising the students for their commitment to the arts as a means of supporting their mental health. “What you’re doing here is extraordinary,” she told them, expressing her pride in their dedication and the positive changes they are making in their lives and the lives of others.
A look at what Meghan wore this afternoon.
Meghan wore a skirt from Colombian-based designer Juan De Dios – El Carmen Canvas Hand Embroidered Midi Skirt in Ecru, $795. At the time of this post there is only one size left. As this is a limited collection most of the stock has been depleted.
UPDATE 8/20: Meghan wore a white t-shirt from Anine Bing — the Amani tee in off white cashmere blend, $120. Also available at Farfetch here.
Her shoes are from Stuart Weitzman — the ‘Benni’ sandal in tan leather, $295.
Meghan also had her Miu Miu ‘Artiste’ Sunglasses in Black & Gold with her (no longer available). She first wore the sunglasses in New York at the Global Citizen Live in New York, September 2021.
We are not sure which earrings she had on. I’m betting that they will be a pair from another local artist. Hopefully Bazaar will have more information by tomorrow.
Meghan wore a pair of earrings from Colombian-based jeweler Álvaro Ávila. They are the Flower Button Rosemary Yerbatero Earrings, about $223 USD. Shipping to the US is $34. Please be patient as they are currently working to update the site. If you reach out to them on Instagram they should respond. You can also try communicating via their chat – please know that they respond in Spanish.
Below are additional designs from the jeweler.

Where are her bracelets from?
Hi Corinne, We stopped including information about her watch and bracelets since she wears the same ones every day. Her watch is Diana’s Cartier Tank watch, her one bracelet is the Cartier ‘Love’ bracelet and the other one is an unidentified gold beaded bangle. Thanks, Susan
People who have criticized this couple have not walked a mile in their shoes as the saying goes! Meghan is a great dancer as well as Harry! People are such haters these days!
I love the way they embrace life and all cultures! I enjoy reading positive things about Harry and Meghan. They are a lovely couple, and the Royals should’ve protected them and care for them as all of their children deserve! The Royals are making a major mistake for not apologizing publicly and take them under their wings. Vive Harry et Meghan!
I love how Meghan has been supporting Colombian fashion designers like Johanna Ortiz, Juan De Dios, Hannia Char, etc on this trip! I’m not exactly a fan of this outfit b/c it looks too simple and underwhelming for me, but I love that she’s been uplifting Colombian designers.
