Since announcing their arrival in Africa, Harry has emphasized how important the tour has been in supporting many of the causes he is passionate about.

Sharing the same sentiments, Meghan continues talking to reporters, saying:

"But I think for us it has been a really special trip, because you get to see when you're focusing on the causes that are really important to us, you can see that the impact is good, and it feels meaningful."

According to Daily Mail, royal tours are organized by Buckingham Palace, together with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Harry and Meghan's private office staff.

Their teams work together to plan their daily activities. It is reported this tour was unique because at 5-months-old, Archie is the youngest royal to embark on an international tour.
