Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan arrived in Colombia to participate in a series of events against discrimination and cyber-harassment at the invitation of Vice President Francia Marquez.

Marquez said at a press conference that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex meet women and young people as part of a program seeking to make visible and address a problem that concerns all humanity cyber-bullying, violence in digital environments, and discrimination.

In the capital Bogota, Harry and his American actress wife attended a university forum on a responsible digital future.

The dignitaries therefore traveled to the Caribbean city of Cartagena, where press reports said they would visit the village of San Basilio de Palenque founded by escaped slaves in the 18th century.

The last stop on their tour, which ends Sunday, will be the western city of Cali, whose mayor has said the couple would attend an Afro-music festival there.

In all three cities, the royals are expected to meet with young women, and social leaders, as  Meghan, who is mixed-race, has in the past complained of being the target of discrimination.

The visit serves as a prelude to the Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children to be held in Bogota on November 7 and 8.
