The world got its first opportunity to really ogle the newest member of Britain's royal family on Wednesday, as Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, brought baby Archie along to meet a South African icon. Nobel Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu, seemed genuinely overjoyed to meet four-month-old Archie as the royal family arrived for a private visit in Cape Town.
Tutu, who practically led the battle to end white rule in South Africa while his friend and compatriot Nelson Mandela spent years in prison, cooed and touched Archie affectionately before stepping inside with the royal family to chat over a cup of tea and discuss the responsibilities of parenting.
Veteran royal correspondent for The Sunday Times, Roya Nikkhah, told CBS News the first bi-racial British royal baby meeting Tutu, "a man who has campaigned for anti-apartheid and equal rights for most of his life," should not be underestimated.
