Meghan and Harry have one last event tonight: They will attend a reception at the British High Commissioner's Residence.

Then on Wednesday, Harry and Meghan will meet Archbishop Desmond Tutu, then split up for solo engagements. Thursday, Harry will visit Botswana and Angola while Meghan will remain in Cape Town with their son Archie.

Yesterday, Meghan wore two dresses for her engagements: a black wrap dress and the blue Veronica Beard dress she wore during her royal tour last year of Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, and Fiji.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also gave their first speeches of the tour during their first event in Nyanga township. Meghan shared a personal note that moved many in the crowd and those online when news of her remark spread.

She said, "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 I am here as a mother, as a wife, as a woman, as a woman of color, and as your sister. I am here with you and I am here for you."
