During their time with Jóvenes en Cali, a youth organization in the city, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle embraced the lively spirit of the Salsa capital. The couple shared a passionate salsa dance, with Meghan, chic in a white linen skirt and wearing Princess Diana's £17,800 Gold Tank Française Watch, pulling Harry in for a tender kiss. Meghan had swapped her heels for sandals, allowing her to fully enjoy the moment, laughing and smiling as she swayed to the music. Harry complemented her in a light blue linen shirt, cream trousers, and brown shoes, looking effortlessly stylish as they danced both with each other and the local residents.

The Sussexes received a warm and enthusiastic welcome in Cali, with locals clapping, cheering, and waving as the couple made their way through the city, accompanied by their usual security team. The highlight of their visit was undoubtedly their steamy salsa dance, which ended with Meghan planting a tender kiss on Prince Harry. According to body language expert Judi James, this kiss was more than just a spontaneous moment of passion; it was a deliberate gesture from Meghan, who placed her hands tenderly around Harry's face. Speaking to FEMAIL, James suggested that the kiss was part of a ritual, a meaningful display of affection and connection between the couple, underscoring the deep bond they share.

Judi James further analyzed Meghan Markle's public display of affection during the Colombian tour, interpreting it as a "powerful statement of gratitude" towards Prince Harry. She suggested that this brief but tender kiss was Meghan's way of acknowledging their success in Colombia, where the couple appeared to be well-received.

James noted that Meghan's hands, which she placed around Harry's face, were not only a gesture of control over the kiss but also served as an announcement to her husband that this was a sweet, controlled display of affection. With the world watching, Meghan may have been mindful that, traditionally, royals only share public lip-kisses on their wedding day. However, this kiss seemed to break with that tradition, adding a personal touch to their public appearances and further emphasizing their modern, affectionate relationship.

Judi James described Meghan and Harry's kiss as the "frosting on the cake" of their public displays of affection during the tour, symbolizing a culmination of their "we’re in love" narrative. She observed that the salsa dance, with its lively and sensual movements, allowed the couple to let go of their inhibitions and fully embrace the moment. The kiss, following a vigorous dance, seemed to be a deliberate departure from more traditional, reserved royal behaviors. Meghan’s affectionate gesture was seen as part of this shift, marking a visible break from royal protocols and showcasing their genuine connection and joy.

Judi James interpreted Meghan's kiss as a "reward ritual," a gesture of gratitude towards Harry at the end of their Colombian tour. This affectionate display was seen as a way for Meghan to thank Harry for his support throughout the trip and for participating in the tour with her.

Throughout their visit, Harry and Meghan demonstrated a high level of intimacy and affection, often holding hands and sharing tender moments that diverged from traditional royal behavior. In Cartagena, Meghan notably took the lead in showing affection, which Judi described as boosting Harry’s confidence and signaling bonding and ownership. Despite their visible joy, Harry was sometimes observed in a protective stance, though he also mirrored Meghan’s relaxed enjoyment at other moments.

Their interactions, including a particularly tender moment where Meghan pulled Harry's hand close and placed her free hand over his wrist, were seen as expressions of deep affection and connection. The visit, organized by Colombian Vice President Francia Márquez, was a unique opportunity for the Sussexes to engage in a "DIY royal tour" since stepping down from their official royal duties in 2020.
