Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had a romantic moment during their last day in Colombia.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex displayed their salsa dancing skills during a visit to Jóvenes en Cali, a youth organization in the city, on Aug. 19. As seen in a video shared on social media, Harry twirled Meghan around the dance floor before she brought him in for a kiss on the lips.
Prince Harry, 39, and Meghan, 43, shared several sweet exchanges during their four-day tour, including when the Duke of Sussex gave his wife a peck on the forehead while they embraced during a stop at the National Centre for the Arts in Bogotá. Throughout the trip, they also held hands and gave each other pats on the back.
The pair have openly shown their love through public displays of affection since they took their relationship public in 2017.
“Meghan is used to being touchy-feely, and Harry is the same,” former palace spokesman Dickie Arbiter previously told PEOPLE. “Harry has always been tactile.”
Prince Harry and Meghan have displayed their dance moves on several occasions throughout their visit to Colombia, but it was only appropriate to take the dance floor in Cali, since the city is known as the world capital of salsa, according to Colombia’s tourism website.
Meghan has been honing her salsa skills for years. In fact, a Northwestern University classmate shared a photo on Instagram amid the Duchess of Sussex’s Colombia trip, captioning the throwback image, “Salsa lessons with the then future-to-be #DuchessOfSussex, in college.”

For the salsa dancing outing, Meghan wore a skirt by Colombian designer Juan De Dios. Run by entrepreneurs Maria Fernanda Valencia and Isabella Gutierrez, the brand has stores in Bogotá and Cali, two of the cities the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited. The brand is committed to social responsibility and gives back to the local area.
“All of our pieces are made in Colombia by women head-of-household using artisanal methods and recyclable yarn fabrics,” its website states. Five percent of online sales are donated to the El Banco de Alimentos Cali Foundation, which provides meals to those in need in the Cali area.
In addition to also wearing another skirt by the brand during the trip, she supported several designers from the country by wearing their pieces.
For the final event of Prince Harry and Meghan’s Colombia visit, the couple headed to the Petronio Music Festival in Cali, celebrating Afro-Colombian music and dance.
They took the stage, where the Duchess of Sussex told the crowd, “Your country is so beautiful!”
Meghan, who displayed her Spanish speaking skills on multiple occasions throughout the trip, also translated when Prince Harry shared some remarks with the audience.
