Archie Just Had His First Royal Engagement

Little royal Archie has accompanied Mum Meghan Markle and Dad Prince Harry, on his first ever royal engagement, meeting with retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

The royal baby was caught on camera as if he was enjoying the outing with his parents during the family royal tour debut in Africa, to meet the Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

Photos published featured proud mum Meghan carrying the little royal while he beams at his dad.

According to British 'Mirror', Meghan joked with the Archbishop’s daughter Thandeka Tutu Gxashe during the meeting  that the little royal would have to get used to the cameras in his life. She replied “I have cameras in my genes.” Harry said: “I think he is used to it already".

The Archbishop’s daughter also joked, “You like the ladies. He’s going to be a ladies man”.

The 87-year old spent half and hour with the couple and Archie at the historic premises of his ‘Legacy Foundation’ in Cape Town, the Old Granary - a restored 200-plus-year-old edifice built by slaves.

Speaking to Archbishop Tutu about Archie, Harry said: "For me it's the responsibility that we all have to try and make their lives better, however we can."

On his part, Tutu, one of the leaders of the liberation struggle during Nelson Mandela’s long imprisonment, said he was ‘thrilled by the "rare privilege and honour” to meet the royals.

He greeted the royals with laughter with his daughter Thandeka Tutu Gxashe, CEO Desmond Tutu Desk campaign - which creates portable desks for schoolchildren.

Two days ago, Meghan and Harry along with their son Archie have arrived in South Africa for their Royal Tour, despite suffering a delay on their British Airways flight.

The Sussex family have touched down in Cape Town just a few hours ahead of their first official engagement of the 10-day visit.

The family have been greeted at the airport by staff in hi-vis jackets, and can be seen smiling and chatting away as they walk through the airport.

The couple's second tour - their first with little Archie - will see them attend a number of engagements relating to causes close to their heart.
