Niclas Kjellstromn-Matseke, chairman of the Desmond and Leah Legacy Foundation, noted the importance of Harry and Meghan’s visit and the impact it will have for generations to come.

“Archbishop Tutu met the Queen and had a great relationship with her and here is her grandson,” he says. “This is a generational thing. This is a hand over from the elderly to the younger.”

Adding, “The warmth is definitely being shown [by them], and that’s why they are so lovable. Every time dignitaries or great leaders are visiting your home or country it’s a token of recognition. We all need that in the world now and again and South Africa certainly needs that in these challenging times.”

“We very much appreciate the couple bringing a positive limelight to South Africa.”

Meghan and Harry’s tour of Africa marks their first royal tour with Baby Archie. The Duchess is expected to stay in South Africa with the baby while Harry heads off solo for engagements in Botswana, Angola and Malawi, according to the report.
