Meghan Markle’s royal tour of Africa has officially begun.
On Monday morning, the Duchess of Sussex, 38, and Prince Harry arrived in Cape Town with baby Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor; the parents later made their first appearance without 5-month-old Archie in Nyanga.

The causal look retails for only £69 (around $85) but has already sold out online.

She was seen dancing and talking with locals, gave a speech and even put on a red beaded bracelet that read “Justice.”
