To the delight of royal-watchers, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan walked into the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation carrying a smiley Archie in blue dungarees

The family, touched down in Cape Town on Monday for a 10-day visit of South Africa and other countries within the region.

The royal couple hit the ground running — speaking up for victims of gender violence, delving into local history and visiting charities that support poor children and disadvantaged youth.

However little Archie had yet to make a public appearance, which materialised when he was taken for tea with one of South Africa’s iconic anti-apartheid figures, Archbishop Tutu and his wife Leah.

The adults shared an assortment of pastries decorated with the words “peace”, “freedom” and “enough is enough” in reference to protests against gender violence that took place this month.

Archie had a special heart-shaped biscuits with his name written on it and Tutu told the young family they were “adored” by South Africans.

The prince will separate from his family later in Wednesday to travel to Botswana, Angola and Malawi.
