A HISTORICAL MOMENT OF UNSURPASSED TENDERNESS
Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry were visiting mothers2mothers—a nonprofit organization in Cape Town working to prevent the spread of HIV in Africa, and they paused to greet a group of people.
Little eight-year-old Amara Nenguke was overwhelmed by the Royal presence, and in a sweet, loving gesture, Meghan kissed her hand to soothe her.

The little girl was incredibly composed and eloquent as she described her fleeting encounter with Duchess Meghan, whom she revealed, is one of her idols.
“It was incredible. She’s so nice. And when she goes to other countries, like she’s—that’s her home, and she’s family with those other people and I like that about her,” Amara said.

ARCHIE MEETS ARCHBISHOP DESMOND TUTU
The Sussex Royal Tour of Africa has been historical for many reasons, one of which is the debut of 5-month-old Archie into public life.
Archie was formally introduced to the now-retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a man who was one of the forces for change in South Africa during the apartheid regime.
Archie seems to be a born diplomat and he charmed the dignified Nobel Peace Prize winner into cooing him and giving him a gentle kiss on the forehead.
