'I'm Here As A Mother, As A Wife, As A Woman of Colour And As Your Sister': Meghan Speaks To Teenagers In South Africa

The Duchess of Sussex told teenage girls in a township known as 'South Africa's murder capital' that she is visiting them as a 'woman of colour and their sister' in a rousing speech on the first day of her and her husband's latest royal tour.

Meghan and Harry are visiting Nyanga, where one in 206 people are killed each year, just outside of Cape Town, today after touching down at the airport this morning. 

The couple's visit to the troubled township has been arranged amid a major security presence, with details kept secret until the last minute to prevent any unrest and four-month-old Archie left behind at their residence with his nanny. 

Meghan, 38, stood on a tree stump to address crowds of local women and girls supported by community charity Justice Desk.
