Meghan Markle’s former classmate, Iris Amador, recently shared a throwback photo of the Duchess on Instagram. They were with three other people at a salsa class at Northwestern University, from where she graduated in 2003 with a degree in theatre and international studies. “Salsa lessons with the then future-to-be #DuchessOfSussex, in college,” Amador wrote in her Instagram post in Spanish, per a translation. In the picture, Markle is seen wearing a black turtleneck sweater and dark wash jeans, with her hair pulled back into a low ponytail.

This post was made following Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s visit to the salsa capital, Colombia, for their second tour. The couple arrived in the South American country on August 15 after receiving an invitation from Vice President Francia Márquez. The estranged royals visited many cities, including Bogotá, Cartagena, and Cali, for work aligned with their Archewell Foundation and Invictus Games. However, it was their last day in Colombia that became the most memorable of all.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were seen sashaying together with open displays of affection on the dance floor on their last day in Colombia. They were seen dancing to Salsa and hip-hop music at the Unidad Recreativa El Vallado, clips of which are currently melting hearts on social media. At the end of their dance, Markle grabbed Prince Harry by the head and planted a sweet kiss on his lips.

The couple wore coordinated summer fits for the day. While Markle paired a white tee with an embroidered midi skirt, Prince Harry matched his wife's vibe in a blue linen shirt and beige khakis. And it is not at all surprising that Markle looked like such a natural on the Colombian dance floor, especially after her University classmate’s post.
