Archie’s first engagement: the photo album

By
25th September 2019

He’s not quite five months old but Archie Mountbatten-Windsor has carried out his first royal engagement. The baby son of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex accompanied his parents on a visit to the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation in Cape Town as day three of the family’s visit to South Africa got under way.

The seventh in line to the throne looked very happy to be on royal duty as he smiled and giggled his way through his first big public appearance. There was even a kiss from Nobel Peace Prize winner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, as he welcomed the Sussexes. Here are some of the best photos of Archie’s royal debut.
