Baby Archie’s debut on his first royal official tour has left fans staggered by just how much he looks like Prince Harry did as a baby.  

The cooing four-month-old showed off his happy disposition while visiting the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation in Cape Town this morning, joining the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their first tour as a family of three.

As the adorable shots emerged of Archie, who was born on May 6th, royal fans were quick to point out the facial similarities between Prince Harry as a baby and his young son. 

And according to the prince, little Archie is posing up a storm, as the royal told Desmond Tutu’s daughter Thandeka Tutu Gxash: ‘he’s used to it [the cameras] already’.

Archbishop Tutu, 87, spent half and hour with the couple and Archie at the historic premises of his ‘Legacy Foundation’ in Cape Town, the Old Granary – a restored 200-plus-year-old edifice built by slaves.

He greeted the royals with laughter with his daughter Thandeka Tutu Gxashe, CEO Desmond Tutu Desk campaign – which creates portable desks for schoolchildren.

The foundation is the global rallying point for the now retired archbishop’s values in respect of people and the earth.

Harry and Meghan are on a 10-day visit to Africa with Archie; the prince is expected to leave his family to travel to Botswana.

He will also visit Angola and Malawi over the coming days before he is reunited next week with his wife and child in Johannesburg.

Meanwhile, Meghan will visit mothers2mothers, an Africa-based charity that trains and employs women living with HIV as community health workers.

She arrived in South Africa laden with children’s clothes, books and other items for the charity – presents donated to their son Archie.

At another event the duchess will meet 12 inspiring female entrepreneurs when she visits the UK-SA Tech Hub.

The hub focuses on skills development, capacity building, mentorship and access to markets by helping entrepreneurs, particularly women, with resources and support.
