The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be stepping out for the second day of their Colombia tour, where they are expected to meet the nation's Invictus Games team.

Prince Harry, 39, and Meghan, 43, will spend another day in the capital after visiting a school, an arts centre and joining a panel discussion on digital responsibility on day one.

Team Colombia is the only Latin America country participating in the Games, having made their debut in Dusseldorf last year.

Digital Responsibility panel

The day finished with a discussion on how to address the need for responsible technology practices and the impact of the digital landscape, particularly on young people.

Meghan said: “We should model how we want our kids to be raised and for the world in which we raise them. It doesn't matter where you live. It doesn't matter who you are. Either you personally or someone you know is a victim to what’s happening online. And that's something we can actively work on every day to remedy."
