The trip to South Africa marks the first time Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and baby Archie have travelled together as a family for an official royal engagement.

While no official dates for the tour have been confirmed, a statement from Buckingham Palace revealed the tour will take place in the UK Autumn, meaning Baby Archie, who was born on May 6, will be four or five months old at the time.

While Meghan and Archie will be accompanying the prince for the trip, Harry will undertake several solo engagements in Angola, Malawi and Botswana.
