Prince Harry relaxed into a state of zen relaxation as he sat on stage 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 Arts Centre in Bogotá, the country’s capital, they displayed very different body language as spectators.
While Meghan, 43, remained reserved during the performance and displayed an impressive posture, Prince Harry, 39, appeared a little more casual in his chair.
Sitting between the Duchess and the couple’s English-Spanish translator, Harry even felt so relaxed that he rested 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 be waving to someone off-screen while Meghan and the translator appeared engrossed in a performance of “Kiss of the Hummingbird.”
Eventually a woman came over to speak to the Duke, who said something quietly to her before turning his attention back to the show.
After the clip was posted online, royal fans joked that the Duke was risking a scolding from his wife, who was sitting on the other side of him.
Meghan, on the other hand, seemed unfazed by her husband’s informal gesture and continued to focus on the performance, chatting with Vice President Francia Márquez, pointing out some of the costumes and shaking hands with the dancers at the end of the performance.
She looked stylish as she donned her second look of the tour – a colorful maxi dress by Johanna Ortiz, who is of Colombian descent.

The Duchess opted for the $2,150 burgundy Navajo Weaver Metallic Tweed maxi dress and styled her hair in loose waves from her previous updo.
She wowed with the look, which featured a slit on the thigh and a stylish cut-out in the middle.
Although the dress itself appeared to be new, Meghan wore a very similar look on her “quasi-royal” tour of Africa in May, a £2,275 striped summer dress, also by Johanna Ortiz.
She kept the same jewelry from earlier in the day, but apparently also added her $12,800 Cartier “Juste un clou” necklace, which she has worn many times.
It was a sweet tribute to the host country, as the dress is made in Colombia itself.

Plus, it’s practical (with detachable ruffled sleeves), cool for the climate, and stylish all at the same time.
Meghan beamed as she watched the performance, with the couple holding hands and showing lots of affection.
Earlier today, Meghan once again demonstrated her fashion skills when she entered Colombia with Prince Harry to begin their four-day tour of the South American country.
She made a stylish entrance in a £596 collared waistcoat by New York brand Veronica Beard.
Looking effortlessly elegant, the mother-of-two teamed her sleeveless button-up garment with matching navy ankle-length trousers from the designer, which retail at £349.33.
The elegant ensemble is cinched in at the waist to accentuate the Duchess’s slender figure and was paired with black Manolo Blahnik heels and a $4,700 cream handbag from Italian company Loro Piana.
Harry and Meghan were received on Thursday in the capital Bogota by Colombia’s Vice President Francia Marquez and her husband Rafael Yerney Pinillo.
They spent about half an hour at the Vice President’s residence, where they exchanged welcoming gifts and were offered tea, coffee and traditional pandebono – Colombian cheese bread.
The Sussexes had extensive security throughout the visit. Mrs Marquez had invited the couple on a trip to Colombia, which was described as a “self-guided royal tour”.
