The Duchess of Sussex, 43, joined a panel dedicated to highlighting and uplifting Afro-Colombian women on Aug. 18.

At one point during the discussion, Meghan stood up and walked to the side of the stage, where she adjusted a fan to face the panelists, Colombian Vice President Francia Márquez, who was on stage with Meghan, started applauding and the other panelists laughed as they realized what she was doing.

As she returned to her seat, Meghan said in Spanish, “Women helping women.”

A fellow panelist replied in Spanish, “Well done, thank you. And what’s more, [women] resolving the situation, thank you so much.”
