On their first engagement of the day Prince Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, learned about the work of ‘Waves for Change’, an NGO which fuses surfing with evidence-based mind and body therapy to provide a child-friendly mental health service to vulnerable young people living in challenging communities.
The couple also saw the work of The Lunchbox Fund, a charity that provides nearly 30,000 nutritious meals every day to Waves for Change programmes and schools in South Africa’s townships and rural areas.
The couple shared a sweet embrace as they parted, leaving Harry to take a solo trip along Kalk Bay's coast with officers from the City of Cape Town Marine Unit to learn about their work on illegal wildlife poaching.
He was then reunited with his wife as they travelled to Bo Kaap to visit Auwal Mosque on Heritage Day, followed by a youth reception at the British High Commissioner’s Residence.

A source told HELLO! that the reason she has ditched her treasured jewels is that she wants to be "low key" while doing her meet and greets with the public.

The couple popped in to see the Waves for Change compound, home to the The Lunchbox Fund. It was one of four charities to benefit from public donations made to celebrate the birth of Harry and Meghan's son Archie Harrison. The Fund provides nearly 30,000 nutritious meals every day to programmes in townships and rural areas.

The Duchess dished out more hugs as they chatted with the surf mentors.

"And you see that no matter where you are in the world, if you're a small community or a Township, if you're in a big city - it's that everyone is dealing with a different version of the same thing."

The couple also opened up about their parenting, as Meghan declared Harry to be “the best dad”, while he called his wife “the best mum” during the group mindfulness session
© Photo: Getty ImagesHarry went on a solo engagement with officers from the City of Cape Town Marine Unit. They travelled by boat on Kalk Bay and the Duke learned about their work combating the poaching of abalone.
Abalone is a type of sea snail that is at critically low levels, as a plate of the marine delicacy is worth more than its weight in gold - £420 a plate - to Chinese diners.
Due to the wind, the boat ride was a bit choppy! But Harry kept his cool as he chatted with the marines.

Before Harry headed off on his solo engagement, he kissed his wife goodbye, as she returned to look after baby Archie.

Meghan was appropriately dressed, and changed into an olive green button-up shirt dress with a traditional cream headscarf and Sally Edelman flat shoes.

They also met Father Lapsley, a local Anglican leader. Born in New Zealand, he moved to South Africa to campaign for equal rights during apartheid. In 1990, he received a letter bomb in the post and lost both hands in the blast.

The couple took a short walk through the streets, meeting local residents, including two young girls who gave the Duchess flowers.

Well-wishers lined the colourful streets to meet the royal couple during their visit to Bo Kaap.
The famous houses of Bo Kaap were painted in bright colours as an expression of freedom by homeowners after the emancipation of slavery in 1834. Last year the district was awarded National Heritage Status.
