Joining leaders and diplomats from around the world, Jeremy and Laura attended the ceremony at the Palacio de La Moneda in Santiago.

During their visit to Chile, Jeremy and Laura toured numerous sites of historical and cultural significance, from the graves of Victor Jara and Salvador Allende, to the Museo de Memoria y los Derechos Humanos exhibitions on the September 1973 military coup and the appalling human rights abuses of the Pinochet dictatorship.

The election of Gabriel Boric marks a moment of great significance for Chile. Fifty years on from the military coup that ended with the death of democratically-elected president Salvador Allende, Boric will now set about ending the rampant inequalities across the country, enabled by the landslide referendum victory for a new constitution that draws decades of failed neoliberal economics and an opportunity to genuinely change Chile for the better.
