Meghan feels the heat! Moment a very hot Duchess takes matters into her own hands

Meghan Markle managed to get a friendly laugh out of the audience in Cali, Colombia, on Sunday even before she had said a word at the Afro women and power forum where she was speaking as part of the Sussex's 'quasi-royal' tour.

The Duchess of Sussex, who would go on to deliver her speech in Spanish, was clearly finding Cali's 33 degree heat unbearable as she sat on the stage in the city's Municipal Theatre - and she decided to take matters into her own hands.

Meghan, 43, who looked typically glamorous in a sequined skirt and sleeveless white shirt paired with towering pink pumps, marched across the stage to angle the circular fan towards the panel while a bemused stage manager looked on from the wings.

When the manoeuvring was complete, she walked back to her seat while confidently gesturing to the audience that she had solved the problem of the sweltering heat.

Not only did the Duchess's decisive action get a laugh out of the audience, it also earned her a round of applause when she returned to her seat.
