Royal style: the Sussexes in Africa - it's gonna take a lot to drag us away from them...

Tour itinerary

As always, let's critique the clothes and not the wearers.

Some of the royal fashion bloggers who I usually enjoy are actually driving me mad with their critiques. One even had a problem with the madewell tote she was carrying yesterday - when MM was in jeans and flats - but didn’t offer any constructive thoughts about what she should have used instead. I think we could all do to remember just because it is not our taste or what we’d have worn in a particular situation doesn’t make it wrong.

Found it via Google and Metro

Just found it! Thank you. Adorable. And she looks great. I think taking baby to meet the Arch is absolutely appropriate. And must be less stressful than taking him out into crowds.

Like most south africans, I'm a huge fan of Tutu. Just LOVE that he's hanging out waiting for them outside his door. And the shout of happiness when they see Archie. So South African. DS' first trip to SA involved a lot of him being picked dup and cuddled by random strangers in stores and when out and about. Luckily he didn't mind!

Archie is adorable. Well done Meghan and Harry

Archie is gorgeous! They look like a really happy family.

Lovely pictures of Archie- Archie meets the Arch
Archie looks like he's long - he'll be tall like his dad.
Meghan has an amazing smile.
Julie Roberts too has an amazing smile.

Looking at the Sussex Instagram, they were sitting on the floor of the mosque. That dress was perfect for that - no chance of a knicker flash. When Kate visited the mosque, she had a chair so didn’t need to allow for that (mentioning this only as their outfits were compared earlier in the thread).

Love the black and white dress Meghan was wearing when they took Archie to meet Bishop (Archbishop?) Tutu - it moved beautifully.

Aw that's lovely! He looks like a right little smiler. What's that dress Meghan is wearing? I can't tell whether it's got a dark lining or is a long floaty shirt over something else? It looks nice anyway.

He's got his winning junior royal smile on - very cute!

I'm loving the DOS's meet-the-Archbishop dress, very nice. Even though it returns to that belted waist wrap thing that I am not sure really suits her, I just like the floaty black and white print and slip/lining. Nice 👍🏻👍🏻

I must say, she's looking amazing so far on this trip - glowing, happy, comfortable. Even if a few of the actual outfits have been misses for me, Meg looks in her element.

Archie looks a lot like Harry as a baby, I thought. He's definitely got his eyes.

@evilharpy I thought for a moment she was wearing cycling shorts under her dress!

Queen now that would be very fashion forward of her

More cute vid of the two Arches ... hope this looks nice works!

(Sorry! Daily Mail warning for those who prefer to avoid it. It is Rebecca English though)

I like the olive dress. But anything in the sludgy green palette is right up my street! And the photo didn’t do it justice, it looks much, much better on the videos. Pp has it right IMO - the sheen makes it fitting to the occasion, and the length was necessary for being seated on the floor.

Archie is a little darling!

Gosh isn't Archie cute. And not a redhead by the look of things (not that that would make him less cute, I love a redhead!)

Lovely smily baby- I bet they are relieved he “performed”!
I’m disappointed though. I was so hoping he had a red afro......

Aw Archie is adorable. Meghan looks great in that outfit too. That’s the best one for me.

wow @Pinkarsedfly and @Doyoureallyneedtoask some missreading there!

My comment was in relation to posts where we were sympathising with Meghan about the long speech being delivered to her at the mosque . It had been suggested that if M.had known how long she's be standing there listening she might have found it easier to maintain a more neutral facial expression .

It was in no way a criticism of her or anything to do with her ethnic background .

Had you read the previous posts ?

It looks like the Sussex's are redeeming themselves on this tour (after all the criticism about private jets, house refurbishments etc)

Meghan looks positively radiant, and it's a real PR coup to have Archie meet Bishop Tutu. Plus her re-wears, supporting local designers with yesterday's dress etc.

Such a cute baby, lovely to see besotted parents as always. I think Archie has Meghan's eyes and his hair colour looks like its changing from red to dark. Handsome little chap.

Aw Desmond. He looks so tiny.

I like today’s Club Monaco blue & white dress, just right for the occasion, very pretty and flows well.
I wasn’t keen at all on yesterday’s striped dress, but the green dress she wore to the mosque was very appropriate for sitting on the floor, though it was a bit ex-army tent ish!

She looks very nice and appropriate today and Archie is a real cutie, I think there is a reddish tint to his hair and he looks quite like Thomas Markle.

I don’t suppose one can change their smile though Peridito. It tends to look insincere if they try.

Just read a few comments under a video clip of Archie with people complaining how unfair it is that the people of S.A. got to meet Archie first before UK taxpayers. . It is of course all Meghan’s doing and they don’t like her even more now.

It is a sad world when a small baby is being used as a catalyst for more hatred.

Roll on the next dress.......
