Hertsoginna Meghan aafriklastele: „Olen teie õde!“ (23)

„Olen siin teie juures kui ema, abikaasa, naine, värviline naine ja teie õde,“ teatas endine teletäht Harper's Bazaari teatel. 38aastane Meghan rõhutas naiste toetamise vajadust. „Siin tegutsetakse selle nimel, et naised ja lapsed oleksid väljaspool ohtu, ja praegu on seda vaja rohkem kui kunagi varem.“

Harry teeb visiidil põike  Botswanasse ja edasi Angolasse. Perega taasühineb ta juba Malawis. Hertsogipaari ringreis lõpeb Lõuna-Aafrikas Johannesburgis.

👋🏻 South Africa 🇿🇦 • After months of planning, Their Royal Highnesses, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in South Africa today for their official Royal Tour of Southern Africa - focusing on community, grassroots leadership, women’s and girls’ rights, mental health, HIV/AIDS and the environment. Their first stop was to the incredible Justice Desk Project which works to make women and children safer in Nyanga. It’s an issue of vital importance in South Africa and across the globe, their Royal Highnesses wanted to learn first-hand about the issues people face and the work being done on the ground. One of the workshops Their Royal Highnesses saw was the Mbokodo project which provides self-defense classes and female empowerment workshops to young girls who are overcoming major traumas. This project's powerful motto is "wathint' abafazi wathint' imbokodo" which means "you strike a woman; you strike a rock" • “And just on one personal note, may I just say that while I am here with my husband as a member of The Royal Family, I want you to know that for me I am here with you as a mother, as a wife, as a woman, as a woman of colour and as your sister.” – The Duchess of Sussex • @TheJusticeDesk Project is supported by the @Queens_Commonwealth_Trust and works with community leaders in Nyanga, with the firm belief that if you can change the mindset of a community, you can change the mindset of a country. #SussexRoyalTour #RoyalVisitSouthAfrica • Photo ©️PA images / SussexRoyal - video SussexRoyal

Kuningakoja teatel käsitletakse visiidil naiste ja tüdrukute õigusi, vaimset tervist, aidsi ja keskkonnakaitset. Harry jätkab ka oma ema Diana maamiinivastast tööd. Hertsogipaar saabub Aafrikasse kingilaadungiga: Meghan annetab Lõuna-Aafrika lasterikastele peredele Archie rõivaid, mida poiss on nii palju kingiks saanud, et ei jõua ära kanda. Lisaks kingivad Harry ja Meghan HIV-nakkusega peredele lugemisvara, värvimisraamatuid ja värvipliiatseid
