Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and baby Archie have made it through the 11+ hour plane ride back to London from Johannesburg. Hello! reports the Duke and Duchess of Sussex landed in London Heathrow this morning after leaving South Africa privately the night before.

Archie was seen just once during the couple's 10 day tour of southern Africa. No photos of the family leaving the country or arriving back home have come out yet nor was it an official photographed engagement. Meghan and Harry's tour ended yesterday when they met with President Cyril Ramaphosa and his wife Dr. Tshepho Motsepe.

Meghan gave a heartfelt final speech during her second to last engagement. The SussexRoyal Instagram shared footage of her passionately speaking to the crowd.

“I remember being a young girl watching TV and seeing what was happening in the world, and frankly, often feeling despair," she said. "When you constantly see and hear negativity, it can be overwhelming; you can feel powerless, and lost, you can feel different, confused, or like you just don’t belong."

"And I’m sure there is a young girl or boy watching this and thinking the exact same thing," she continued. "So, this is for you: In a world that that can seem so aggressive, confrontational, and dangerous, you should know that you have the power to change it. Because whether you’re here in South Africa, at home in the UK, the U.S. or around the world, you actually have the power within you to change things, and that begins with how you connect to others."

"I have learned from the people I’ve met here, that whether it’s about society’s expectations of masculinity or femininity, or how we divide ourselves by race or faith or class or status—everyone has value, and everyone deserves to be heard and respected. And if you live your life in that way, your generation will start to value each other in ways the rest of us have not yet been able to do so," she finished.
