“In recognition and gratitude for your dedication and invaluable opportunities for recovery through sports and the Invictus Games for Colombian wounded, injured, and sick Armed Forces and Police Personnel, serving or veterans.”

Meghan Markle said the athletes were “all so incredible to watch”.

The Duke of Sussex added: “It’s amazing to see how many people can come together to form one team.”

Meghan Markle also received several gifts throughout the second day of the Sussexes’ trip including a painting, a beaded necklace and matching earrings.

The Duchess of Sussex has abandoned “traditional royal silhouettes” during her trip to Colombia with Prince Harry, according to a royal fashion expert.

Meghan has worn more than four different outfits across the first two days of the trip in Colombia and is choosing fashion designers who complement her own story, the royal author claimed.

Rosie Harte told The Telegraph: “The fact that Meghan is embedding her messages below the surface level, and choosing designers who complement her own story is testament to the impact that royal life has had on her approach to styling.”

The author of The Royal Wardrobe: A Very Fashionable History of the Monarchy added: “Meghan very rarely adopts any of the traditional royal silhouettes when on tour.

“No coat dresses, no hats, no lace, and instead opts for sleeker, more stylish looks.”
