As part of their royal tour of Africa, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex paid a visit to the first and oldest mosque in South Africa. The couple, who commenced their royal duties in the continent yesterday, arrived hand-in-hand for the trip to Auwal Mosque in Bo-Kaap, Cape Town.
To mark Heritage Day, a public holiday in the country which recognises its culture, diversity and traditions, Meghan and Harry met with local community leaders. The Duchess opted for Staud‘s “Millie” dress with a cream headscarf and nude pumps for the engagement. The LA-based label was co-founded by Sarah Staudinger and George Augusto in 2015, and was quick to build up a following via Instagram.

Earlier today, the couple kickstarted their second day at Monwabisi beach where they met with several youth organisations, and took part in a surfing lesson with Waves For Change. The NGO is devoted to training local surf mentors – who then provide mental health support to members of the local community. Waves For Change’s Lunchbox Fund, which provides nearly 30,000 meals a day, was the beneficiary of the public’s donations to the royal couple following Archie’s birth.

The 10-day tour will see the Duchess take part in activities that reflect her focus on supporting women. Harry will also travel to Malawi, Angola and Botswana, before returning to Johannesburg, South Africa, on 1 October for the final two days of the trip.
