Prince Harry allowed himself to relax into a state of zen as he sat onstage with Meghan Markle during one of the opening events of their Colombia tour.
As the Duke and Duchess enjoyed a colourful tribal dance at the Delia Zapata National Centre for the Arts in Bogotá, the nation’s capital, they exhibited very different body language as spectators.
While Meghan, 43, remained demure and displayed impressive posture during the performance, Prince Harry, 39, appeared somewhat more slouched in his chair.
As he sat between the Duchess and the couple’s English to Spanish translator, Harry even felt chilled out enough to rest his arm on the back of the translator’s chair – and royal fans certainly had plenty of jokes to make about his gesture.

He appeared distracted as he looked behind him and appeared to gesture to someone out of shot while Meghan and the translator seemed engrossed in the ‘Kiss of the Hummingbird’ performance.
Eventually, a woman came over to speak to the Duke, who quietly says something to her before turning his attention back to the performance.
After the clip was posted online, royal fans joked the Duke was risking a telling off from his wife, who was sitting on the other side of him.
Meanwhile, however, Meghan seemed unfazed by her husband’s informal gesture as she remained focused on the performance and chatted to vice president Francia Márquez and pointed to some of the costumes, before shaking hands with the dancers at the end of the performance.
She looked stylish as she changed into her second look of the tour – a colourful maxi dress by Johanna Ortiz, who has Colombian heritage.

The Duchess opted for the $2,150 burgundy Navajo Weaver Metallic Tweed Maxi Dress, and styled her hair into loose waves after her earlier up-do.
She wowed in the look, which boasted a slit up the thigh and featured a stylish cut-out in the middle.
Though the dress itself appeared to be new, Meghan wore a very similar look on her ‘quasi-royal’ tour of Africa back in May, wearing a £2,275 striped sundress also by Johanna Ortiz.
She kept the same jewellery from earlier in the day, but also appeared to add her $12,800 Cartier ‘juste un clou’ necklace, which she has sported many times before.
She gave a sweet nod to the hosting country, as the dress is made in Colombia itself.

It’s also practical – featuring removable ruffle sleeves and being cool for the climate, as well as stylish in nature.
Meghan was beaming as she watched the performance, with the couple holding hands and showing much affection.
Earlier, Meghan proved her fashion prowess once again today as she stepped out in Colombia alongside Prince Harry to begin their four-day tour of the South American nation.
She put on a stylish display in a £596 collared vest from New York-based brand Veronica Beard.
Looking effortlessly elegant, the mother-of-two teamed her sleeveless, buttoned garment with matching navy, ankle-grazing trousers from the designer, priced at £349.33.
Cinched at the waist to flatter the Duchess’ slender figure, the smart ensemble was paired with black Manolo Blahnik high heels and a cream $4,700 handbag from Italian company Loro Piana.
Harry and Meghan were met in the capital Bogota by Colombia’s vice president Francia Marquez and her husband Rafael Yerney Pinillo on Thursday.
They spent around half an hour at the vice president’s residence, where they exchanged welcome gifts and were offered tea, coffee and traditional pandebono – Colombian cheese bread.
The Sussexes were given a full security detail throughout their visit alongside Ms Marquez, who had invited the couple to travel to Colombia for what has been dubbed a DIY royal tour.
