The Duke and Duchess of Sussex begin their ten day tour of southern Africa later today. The royal couple will arrive with their four month old son, Archie. Harry and Meghan will settle their little one into his temporary home before beginning their official diary. Royal Central looks ahead at what to expect from Day One of the Sussexes in Southern Africa.
People Power
The first stop on this busy tour will see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visit a township in Cape Town to see projects going on to educate children and young people about their rights. They will attend a workshop that offers self defence training for girls and women alongside female empowerment development.
Landmarks
Harry and Meghan will also visit the District Six Museum which is marking its 25th anniversary this year. The museum is focused on the impact that the forced movement of tens of thousands of people had on them and the community during the time of apartheid. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will hear about ongoing work to reunite those separated during the regime. They will also pop into the Homecoming Centre where they will take part in a cookery activity.
