Some of the Royal couple’s stops will include meeting with Archbishop Desmond Tutu and joining ‘Waves for Change’ on Monwabisi Beach as they said on their Instagram.

The couple also announced that Duchess Meghan “will be working with local organizations to promote women and girls’ health and education, entrepreneurship and leadership.” On their tour, Harry will be honoring and continuing his mother, Princess Diana’s work with landmines and the Halo Trust again. “The Duke is especially proud to continue the legacy left by his mother with her work in Angola as he joins Halo Trust again in an effort to rid the world of landmines,” the details read. 

As the news for Archie goes a palace source confirmed to Harper’s Bazaar that "the couple hopes to include Archie at some point in the program . . . but it’s difficult to say when because he’s five months old." However, Archie will be going to South Africa with his parents and remain with his mother and a nanny while Harry travels to other countries in Africa.
