9x what is sweet about the visit of Harry and Meghan

Today, Harry, Meghan, and baby Archie have arrived in Cape Town and are kicking off a ten-day visit. Now some people are already up to their elbows in vinegar bottles trying to find everything about Meghan's clothing (too weird/too expensive/too cheap/too tight/too loose, you choose) and their travel behavior (“Three countries in ten days, that can't be right?”), but I'm going to roll up my sleeves to explain in ten points why we should bow deeply to our royal trio.

1. They fly on a ‘commercial flight’

Many people find this very normal, but if you're flying with a little guy who is likely to throw up his milk bottle all over you while Heathrow is still in sight, I can imagine that the private jet that's beckoning you looks very attractive. But they won't do that anymore, after the storm of criticism from a few weeks ago, so they won't. They will, however, take a VIP exit in Cape Town, but we can understand that, right?

2. Meghan gives gifts

Before Archie's birth Meghan naturally received a lot of clothes that he couldn't possibly wear all. Those ‘hand me downs’ from Archie will be given to mothers with HIV who live in poverty and can't afford to buy clothes for their babies.

3. The schedule

With at least three to four official visits and obligations per day, this is really not a vacation but a work visit. And knowing that there's a good chance you'll get it all wrong and that this will haunt you for some time, I give two huge thumbs up.

4. Harry leaves Meghan and Archie behind

Meghan and Archie will stay in South Africa for five days while Harry goes to Botswana, Angola, and Malawi. This is because the small propeller plane that takes him there is not child-friendly.

5. Harry goes to a de-mining field

And thus follows in the beautiful footsteps of his mother, Lady Diana.

6. Just like the famous photo

Harry will also go to Huambo, to exactly the spot where Diana was photographed while walking in a minefield. He will be welcomed there by the same person who welcomed his mother.

7. Tutu and the widow Mandela

These remarkable people will welcome Harry and Meghan.

8. Meghan speaks against gender violence

In Africa, crime against women is five times higher than in the rest of the world.

9. A glimpse of Archie

Baby Archie is not ‘included’ in the royal tour, but Harry and Meghan have indicated that they hope to treat the public to a glimpse of Archie.
