Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet could join their parents on their upcoming tour of Colombia, according to a royal source.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have accepted an invitation to visit the South American country, with the visit expected to go ahead later this month.


It will be Harry and Meghan's second overseas tour this year after the couple undertook a four-day visit to Nigeria in May 2024.

Archie and Lilibet were not present in Nigeria, but they may join their parents in Colombia, according to a source.

The insider added that Prince Archie, five, is more likely to make the trip to South America with the Sussexes than his younger sister, Princess Lilibet, three.

The source told OK: "Meghan is debating whether to bring the children with her as she feels they’re old enough, especially Archie, to enjoy a trip like this and meet people from different cultures.

"She’s well aware that it would bring extra attention and that if the four of them are pictured on the tour, it again adds to their brand."

The Duchess of Sussex recently discussed her two young children during a TV interview on CBS.

The Duchess of Sussex turned 43rd on August 4, the same day as the royal couple's first joint TV interview dropped on an American TV channel.

Meghan Markle celebrated her birthday privately with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, alongside her husband Prince Harry.

The duchess held a low-key celebration with her family despite the release of her highly anticipated interview with CBS coinciding with the special occasion.

During the TV interview, Harry and Meghan discussed cyberbullying and mental health awareness in a sit-down chat with Jane Pauley on CBS Sunday Morning.

Meghan said regarding her children in the interview: "Our kids are young, they're three and five. They're amazing.

"But all you want to do as parents is protect them and so as we can see what's happening in the online space, we know that there's a lot of work to be done there and we're just happy to be a part of change for good."

Prince Harry added: "At this point, we've got to the stage where almost every parent needs to be a first responder."
