The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have arrived in a township often described as South Africa’s ‘murder capital’ amid high security, while their son Archie stays behind with his nanny.
Harry and Meghan are visiting Nyanga in the Cape Flats just outside of Cape Town today for the first stop on their 10-day tour of Africa, where one in 206 people are killed each year, according to recent statistics.
The couple’s visit to the troubled township has been arranged amid a major security presence, with details kept secret until the last minute to prevent unrest and four-month-old Archie left behind at their residence with his nanny.
School children supported by the charity Justice Desk were there to greet the royal couple as they arrived this afternoon.
The Sussexes knelt down to shake hands with Nyanga youngsters, with Harry unable to resist dancing with one boy and his wife Meghan giving him a big hug.
