Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s most shocking moments during their tour: a passionate kiss, signs of ‘discomfort,’ and a revealing speech

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal-style tour of Colombia has finally wrapped – and it has certainly been an eventful four days.

The quasi-royal tour, which has many similarities to the programme of an official royal overseas visit, has seen the Sussexes visiting schools, enjoying musical performances, speaking at forums, meeting Invictus Games competitors and even learning how to play the drums during their events in Bogota, Cartagena and Cali.

Each part of the trip has seen a huge security detail travel with the couple as they visited the South American nation. And now the trip is over, here are some of its biggest revelations…

Ring of steel security
One of the major talking points of the whole trip has been the fierce ring of steel that has been thrown around Harry and Meghan during their time in Colombia. Their security detail has raised eyebrows as Colombia has travel advisory warnings from the Foreign Commonwealth Development Office and Harry, meanwhile, has maintained it is ‘still dangerous’ for Meghan to return to the UK, launching a legal challenge to have police protection restored for him and his family while in his homeland.

Among the safety precautions that were taken in Colombia was having an officer armed with a Kevlar shield to stop any potential shooter taking aim at the couple. At each event the couple have attended the man – part of the local security detail – was seen jumping out of a vehicle ahead of the couple holding the folding shield. During the visit to La Giralda school in Bogota on Friday morning the shield was clearly visible behind Harry as he planted a tree in the grounds and on footage released by the Colombian government.

The shield – known as a ballistic briefcase – was also used to protect the country’s vice president Francia Marquez, who hosted the visit and who has been the target of several assassination attempts.

Meanwhile on Saturday at a traditional African drumming class in Cartagena, the couple’s security detail included heavily armed soldiers, police officers and sharp-suited private security guards. A van containing a chemical biological nuclear response unit joined the massive cavalcade of 14 vehicles that arrived alongside the couple as well as a helicopter and drones, while snipers were stationed on a roof.

‘Awkward’ Harry
Despite the security, Harry and Meghan have appeared to not let it bother them as they carried out their visits in Colombia, but there have been several moments where Harry’s true feels about the situation may have slipped.
