The Duke and Duchess of Suxess today heaped praised on each other’s parenting skills as they labelled one another ‘the best mum’ and ‘the best dad’ on the second day of their whirlwind tour of Africa.
The couple visited Monwabisi Beach on the outskirts of Cape Town, to learn about the work of Waves For Change, which helps vulnerable children from township and challenging communities through the power of surfing.
They also heard about the Lunchbox Fund, one of four charities to benefit from public donations made following the birth of their son Archie, who has joined his parents in South Africa for his first official royal tour.
The Duchess swerved royal protocol as she shared hugs and jokes with youngsters before the couple were asked to declare their personal strengths during a ‘power hand’ bonding exercise – but Harry cheekily ducked the task and invited his wife to share instead.
Meghan, 38, looked bashful as she tried to think of something and laughed as she said dancing as not her strong point, but suggested parenting was a new strength that she and Harry, 35, were ‘learning and developing’.
Turning to her husband, she declared him ‘the best dad’, while Harry – who smiled and looked his wife in the eye with a loving ‘ahhh’ – called her ‘the best mum’ before they shared a tender kiss in front of the crowd.
They left in separate cars as new mother Meghan went back to the High Commissioner’s residence to look after four-month-old baby Archie while Harry travelled on a South African Maritime Police Unit RIB to Kalk Bay Harbour.
