Royal return! All the best pictures of Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry in Africa

Duchess Meghan is still fresh off of the return of her maternity leave and has pulled out a familiar dress many royal watchers know and love. 

For her second royal engagement since touching down in South Africa with husband Prince Harry, the Duchess, 38, went for her classic sky blue Veronic Beard shirt dress, teamed with black espadrille wedges. 

We first saw the chic look during the Sussexes’ royal tour around Australia and the Pacific in 2018, where she war it during the couple’s Tonga leg of the tour. 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex landed in Cape Town on Monday morning with their four-month-old son Archie in tow. 

However, the bub is yet to make an official appearance in his parent’s arms, as his mum and dad are so far attending their royal engagements as a duo. 

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan first visited the Nyanga township, where they got to watch a project to provide self-defence classes and female empowerment training to girls and young women. 

Both the royals delivered their own heartfelt speeches, Prince Harry speaking about the importance of redefining masculinity and breaking cycles of violence. 

"No man is born to cause harm to women. This is learned behaviour and a cycle that needs to be broken," he said.

On Day 1 of their royal tour, Duchess Meghan had her own powerful speech explaining women’s empowerment. 

"I know that when women are empowered the entire community flourishes," the royal mum said.

"On one personal note, may I just say that while I'm here with my husband as a member of the royal family, I want you to know that for me, I am here has a mother, as a wife, as a woman, as a woman of colour and as your sister."

There are 35 engagements on the itinerary for the Sussex royal tour of southern Africa, which will last 10 days.
