Meghan Markle made a very nice gesture to her late mother-in-law while in Colombia.
During her four-day trip to Colombia, Meghan Markle performed an incredibly meaningful gesture in memory of her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex want to use their time in Colombia to raise awareness of their charitable work, much of which focuses on making the internet a safer place for children.
The two went to Colombia on the invitation of Francia Márquez, the country’s vice-president and the first Black woman to hold the role.
Aside from her essential job in Colombia, Meghan has received a lot of attention for her outfit choices.
This features a really nice gesture toward Princess Diana.
Meghan was photographed wearing a pair of butterfly earrings originally owned by the late Princess Diana, who died in 1997 in a car crash in Paris.
Meghan chose gold earrings while visiting the Colegio La Giralda school in Bogotá’s Santa Fe district.
Meghan practiced her Spanish abilities by interacting with a class of nursery-age children, exploring the campus, and participating in an art session.
Diana worked as a nursery teacher’s aide at the Young England School in Pimlico before becoming a part of the royal family, which adds to the significance of her earring choice.
Diana had previously been pictured wearing the earrings on a trip to Canada in 1986.
Meghan drew attention to the earrings by pulling her hair back in a bun.
She has previously worn the earrings twice.
The first glimpse occurred in 2018, shortly after Meghan and Harry announced their pregnancy.
Second, Meghan donned the jewels in 2019 to launch a range of women’s workwear.
A source told Page Six in May: “A gift to [Harry’s] wife that once belonged to his mother is incredibly meaningful and that isn’t lost on his wife.”
While in Colombia, Meghan reflected on the great women in her life and paid tribute to her own mother.
She said: “For me I find inspiration in so many of the strong women around me, my mother being one of them. Life is full of surprises and can be quite complex.
“So much of how I approach things is about less of the fight and how do we wash things over with love and kindness and generosity.
“You see something wrong and you go and fix it. As women we are multi-taskers and fixers. We all know how much representation matters.”
