Meghan on SAfrica visit talks women's rights

(2 Oct 2019) Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex on Tuesday attended a roundtable at a South African university before visiting a school challenging sexual violence. Speaking to journalists later, the Duchess said it had been very meaningful to witness the impact on the ground of work being done to empower women and girls in South Africa. "I think what's really key is to focus on the work that needs to be done but also how much incredible work is being done and to be able to be here and help support people who are really actively working to champion the right of women and girls," Meghan said. Women's empowerment is one of the many issues that Meghan and Prince Harry are highlighting on their first official tour as a family with their baby, Archie. The 10-day, multi-country trip saw the couple travelling to several countries, at times separately. The Duke of Sussex visited a health centre in Malawi on Tuesday to learn about the challenges it faces serving the local community and was reunited with his wife later in the day. The Duchess meanwhile said juggling the trip with 4 month-old baby Archie while her husband was away had been "a full plate" but said she had been thankful her schedule had been worked around the baby's feeding times and "we're making it work." The royal couple visited a Johannesburg township on Wednesday, the last day of their African tour.
