Prince Harry, Meghan and Archie Arrive in South Africa Today

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are apparently “very much looking forward” to showing their baby son Archie around South Africa.

The royal family arrive in Cape Town today – Monday 23 Sep – for their visit. According to a Reuters report the couple, who married in May 2018, can’t wait to see the sights with their four-month-old son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

A palace source told People magazine they are “very much looking forward to their arrival in Africa… on their first official tour as a family.”

Africa holds a very special place in Prince Harry and Meghan’s heart. It’s where they were able to spend time getting to know each other before their relationship became public.

This official tour of Africa will focus on community, grassroots leadership, women’s and girls’ rights, mental health, HIV/AIDS and the environment.

According to their Instgram page, the couple will be meeting with Archbishop Desmond Tutu and joining ‘Waves for Change’ on Monwabisi Beach.

After South Africa, Prince Harry will travel to Angola to join the Halo Trust again in an effort to rid the world of landmines. “The Duke is especially proud to continue the legacy left by his mother with her work in Angola,” they said on Instagram.

He will also travel to Malawi where he will check in on the British Army’s partnership with African Parks and will be working on the ground supporting local communities.

“The Duke is particularly proud to be able to deliver an exciting new initiative, a Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy three-country partnership which he designed and consulted with Governments in Namibia, Botswana and Angola to protect forest and wildlife corridors around the Okavango Delta,” they said on SussexRoyal.

Meanwhile Meghan will be working with local organisations to promote women and girls’ health and education, entrepreneurship and leadership.

“With such a textured culture and history, Their Royal Highnesses are grateful for the opportunity to connect with those on the ground in Southern Africa and to be inspired by the work being done and learn how they can be better supported,” they said.

“The Duke and Duchess cannot wait to meet with young leaders mobilising change and adding to the beauty of these Commonwealth countries ????????

“We look forward to seeing you soon!”
