DAY 5

Harry started his day by following in his mother’s footsteps – quite literally, as he visited a community in Angola, now land mine free thanks to a campaign launched by Princess Diana 22 years ago.

Harry told reporters, “It’s incredibly emotional to follow in the footsteps of my mother… If 20 years ago she hadn’t done what she did, this would still be a minefield.”

In the evening, the Duke is expected to attend a reception held at the British Ambassador’s Residence to learn more about Angola’s economic transformation.

DAY 4

September 26th marked the fourth day of the royal tour, with Harry starting his day planting trees alongside school children in Botswana at the Chobe Forest Tree Reserve.

DAY 1

On the first day of the royal tour, Meghan and Harry visited a history museum in Cape Town. For the outing, Meghan wore a Veronica Beard shirtdress and Castañer espadrilles.

When the Duke and Duchess stopped by the Nyanga township, Meghan wore a wrap dress by the sustainable brand, Mayamiko. Markle gave a powerful speech to the group: “On one personal note, may I just say that while I am here with my husband as a member of the Royal Family, I want you to know that for me, I am here with you as a mother, as a wife, as a woman, as a woman of color, and as your sister,” she said.
