Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have begun the third day of their ‘royal style’ tour by visiting a Saturday morning drumming school in Colombia amid more tight security.

The couple arrived at the event, held in a barn-style building, yards from the Caribbean Sea in a suburb of the port city of Cartagena. Meghan wore a black dress and carried a cream coloured handbag, while Harry donned a blue linen shirt, sunglasses and beige chinos.

Students from the school, called Escuela Taller Tambores de Cabildo de la Boquilla, performed for them amid tight security, including heavily armed soldiers, police officers and sharp-suited private security guards. A van containing a chemical biological nuclear response unit joined a massive cavalcade of vehicles that arrived alongside the couple.

After spending just over an hour at the school, the couple then left in a silver SUV that was part of a 12-vehicle cavalcade, which departed along a sandy beach next to the Caribbean Sea.

On the first two days of their four-day trip to South America, Harry and Meghan were in the Colombian capital of Bogota, where they made a string of appearances alongside the country’s vice president Francia Marquez, who invited them to her homeland after watching their controversial Netflix series.

Yesterday, they visited a school in Bogota, where the couple spoke to schoolchildren in Spanish as they took part in an art session and planted trees during a visit to a school. Later they met athletes training for the Games, which were founded by the duke, during a visit to the Centro de Rehabilitacion Inclusiva.
