A Royal Family Tour To South Africa

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently began their first overseas tour as a family, taking five-month-old Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor to South Africa in a programme designed to cover their favourite charitable causes and boost Britain’s relationships abroad…

At a briefing ahead of their tour, a Royal spokeswoman said: “Their Royal Highnesses are very much looking forward to their arrival in Africa on their first official tour as a family. As you well know, Africa holds a very special place in the Duke’s heart and he is looking forward to sharing South Africa with the Duchess and their son. It is a really busy programme, four countries in ten days, and we have an extra special small passenger to make things more lively.”

The couple’s first stop on day one was the Nyanga township, where they viewed a workshop that teaches children about their rights and provides self-defense classes. Prince Harry and Meghan were greeted by huge cheers from the community who had gathered to meet them and the couple couldn’t resist discreetly showing off their moves to the music.

The Royals had traveled to the area, a few miles out of the city centre, to see first-hand the work of the Justice Desk, a human rights organization that is supporting the development of the settlement’s children.

The organization is supported by the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, which has Prince Harry as its president and Meghan as vice-president.

At the end of the engagement, the Duke and Duchess both delivered remarks, thanking the community for showing them around and for the work that they do.

They were also presented with gifts for Archie from the Justice Desk - a framed inscription of a traditional Xhosa name they have given to Archie, Ntsika, which means pillar of strength, and a hoody.
