For the final engagement of the day for the Duke and Duchess’s second and final day touring Bogota, the couple visited the Centro de Rehabilitación Inclusiva for a training session with the Invictus Games’ Team Colombia.

The couple were greeted by several military officials as well as a veteran military band who performed a Cumbia and Salsa medley before embarking on a tour of the facilities.

The Sussexes toured the space’s swimming pool, rock climbing wall gym, as well as the rehabilitation facilities and conversed with the athletes about their exercise regimens, their favourite workouts, and how they stay strong.

“It’s amazing to see how many people can come together to form one team,” Harry said to an Invictus team member while touring the centre’s cardiovascular room.

Following the match, Harry made sure to greet a group of Korean War veterans who were ecstatic to see him and both he and the duchess toured the centre’s art hall which featured artwork created by Invictus athletes.

Meghan was gifted a painting, as well as hand knitted animals and a beaded necklace and matching earrings from some of the artists.

Harry was awarded a special commemorative plaque from the Ministry of National Defense Veterans.

“To Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex,” read an athlete while presenting the gift to the Duke.

“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.”
