The Duchess of Sussex is making the most of her fourth day in Colombia during her high-profile week-long trip to the country… both with her wardrobe and her time.
On Sunday, August 18, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended the Afro Women and Power Forum at the Cali Municipal Theater in Cali, Colombia.

Her collections are available “worldwide in the 15 eponymous stores in the best locations in Europe, North America and South America, in historic department stores, some of the most famous multi-brand boutiques and at leading online retailers of luxury fashion.”
