Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's four-month-old son Archie has been making headlines with his adorable appearance during the Africa Royal Tour. The young prince has been compared to his father Prince Harry in pictures taken during the tour, with many royal watchers noticing the striking similarities between the two.
Archie's visit to the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation in Cape Town, South Africa, was a highlight of the tour, with the young prince stealing the show with his giggles and smiles. The Archbishop Desmond Tutu was thrilled to meet the royals, calling it a 'rare privilege and honour'.
During the informal meeting, Meghan sat on a sofa with Archie on her lap, while Harry and Archbishop Tutu's daughter Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe sat opposite them. The group laughed and giggled as they watched the Duchess take her son's arms and dance with the young royal.
Archie's antics left everyone in stitches, with the Archbishop's daughter joking that the young prince 'likes the ladies better.' Meghan agreed, saying 'he's an old soul.' The Duchess also asked her son 'Can you say hi?' and Archie looked over at the Archbishop's daughter.
The Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation is a global rallying point for Archbishop Tutu's values about respect of people and the earth. The foundation was established by the cleric and his wife Leah Tutu, with the mission of passing on their wisdom and instilling their values in the next generation of leaders.
Prince Harry last met Archbishop Tutu in November 2015, when the Queen named him as an honorary member of The Order of the Companions of Honour, in recognition of his services to UK communities as well as international peace and reconciliation.
