(24 Sep 2019) Britain's Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, said their first day and a half in Cape Town, South Africa, had been inspiring.
"I love this place," Harry said, "meeting the people, the energy, the fun, again, the positivity, the optimism and the hope in the face of such incredible adversity. There are young people and older people, men and women, trying to change what effectively has become the norm. And that's what needs to be celebrated."
On Monday, the duke and duchess visited Nyanga township, Cape Town's second largest township, where they were greeted by female dancers in traditional costume and school children waving flags.
The couple travelled to the sprawling township without their son, who was left in the care of their nanny, to learn about the work being undertaken by human rights workers to support children there.
On Tuesday, the royal couple met mentors and young people at Waves for Change at Monwabisi Beach, to learn about the charity's work to provide a child friendly mental health service.
Meghan said the visit highlighted that mental health issues were universal.
The royal couple's visit to South Africa will also focus on wildlife protection, entrepreneurship and mine clearance - a topic given global attention by Harry's late mother, Princess Diana, when she walked through an active mine field during a visit to Angola in 1997.
Harry will later visit Angola, Botswana and Malawi on his own.
