Harry, his wife, Meghan, and their four-month-old son, Archie, have been in the region on their first official overseas tour, which has seen the Duke of Sussex visit four countries.

Malawi is the final leg of his solo journey on which he has also visited Botswana and Angola. On Tuesday, he will tour the Mauwa Health Centre in Malawi, as well as see a pharmacy and youth reproductive health outreach program.

Both the United States and Britain have supported, via this project, the introduction of solar-powered storage units to provide life-saving medicines where they are most needed.

Harry, Queen Elizabeth’s grandson and sixth in line to the throne, has been visiting southern Africa for two decades for holidays and conservation work, but this trip marked his first visit to Malawi and Angola in an official capacity.
