Prince Harry and Meghan's recorded encounters with members of the public have been released with no sound.
The release of the silent videos comes as some critics question the tight control on their tour of Columbia which saw one chosen magazine writer join them and convey information to the global media.
It has been reported that the aim of the inaudible videos are to ensure the Sussexes exchanges aren't overheard.
However, some suggest that is may have been more educational for people to hear what the couple said to children during a visit to a school in Bogota.

Colombians have since hit out as "pressing problems" were ignored during Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's tour.
One local journalist told the Telegraph: "People are expecting the Government to address these issues rather than focus on a high-profile event with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
"Although addressing and confronting cyber-bullying in children is an important issue, it is not the most pressing problem we face."
