Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor finally made his highly-anticipated royal tour debut today. The couple took their four-month-old son out to meet the Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Leah Tutu in Cape Town. “Thank you Archbishop Tutu for your incredibly warm hospitality, Archie loved meeting you!” Meghan and Harry wrote on their Instagram, where the two shared a black and white photo from the meeting.
Their SussexRoyal Instagram summarized their meeting in a second post: “Arch meets Archie! This morning The Duke and Duchess were honored to introduce their son Archie, to Archbishop, Desmond Tutu and his daughter, Thandeka. The Archbishop, a globally respected figure in anti-apartheid movement, is one of the world’s great champions of equality, and has spent his life tirelessly battling injustice. Their Royal Highnesses have joined The Archbishop and Thandeka to learn more about the work of The Tutu and Leah Legacy Foundation, and see first-hand how they are focusing on global awareness of the critical issues affecting the world.”
Thankfully, lots of photos were taken of Archie during the event, giving the world its first good glimpse since Archie’s christening of how much Meghan and Harry’s little boy has grown.
Archie, by the way, has been spoken about quite a bit on the tour. Yesterday, the Duchess told Nazli Ebross Fakier, who she had tea with, that Archie is “happy in Cape Town,” according to CNN’s Max Foster. Meghan also told Fakier that her baby “likes to sleep on his dad’s chest.” Here, the best photos.
