From Town & Country

The Sussexes' visit to South Africa is officially underway. This morning, Meghan stepped out in Cape Town for her first engagement of the royal tour of the region.

She and Prince Harry are visiting a workshop that teaches children about female empowerment as well as self defense and safety skills. Both Harry and Meghan are expected to speak at the organization.

For today's event, Meghan chose to wear a beautiful black and white dress, which she paired with black espadrilles, a beaded bracelet, dainty earrings, and her hair slicked back in a ponytail.

Her look today is a much more casual ensemble than the glamorous gown she wore on Friday to attend her close friend Misha Nonoo's wedding to oil heir Michael Hess in Rome.

Later this afternoon, the royal couple will visit the District Six Museum and the District Six Homecoming Centre, two institutions which remember and pay tribute to the 60,000 people who were forced to relocate from the inner-city neighborhood in Cape Town during Apartheid during the 1970s.

The Sussexes will spend several days in Cape Town together before Harry sets off on his own to travel to Botswana, Malawi, and Angola. Next week, they will reunite once again in Johannesburg.

Baby Archie will stay with the Duchess and his nanny throughout the visit, but it's unclear if or when he will be seen publicly during the trip.

"They hope to include Archie at some point in the program," a royal source said, according to royal correspondent Victoria Murphy. "It’s just difficult to schedule because he’s five months old."
