The colourful scene included female dancers in traditional costume, musicians and the ecstatic youngsters waving their national flag.
The couple had travelled to the area a few miles out of the city centre to learn about the work the Justice Desk, a human rights organisation, is doing to support the development of Nyanga township children.
The organisation is supported by the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, which has Harry as its president and Meghan as vice-president.
Jessica Dewhurst, Justice Desk founder, and Theodora Luthuli, a Justice Desk community leader, were hosting the royal visit and Ms Dewhurst took the couple on a tour of various activities being showcased in the grounds of the church.
Baby Archie had been left at the royals’ accommodation in the care of his nanny, but fans are hoping to see a glimpse of the infant – especially after he was photographed arriving with his parents at Cape Town International Airport.
Meghan was wearing a dress by the label Mayamiko, an ethical and sustainable womenswear and lifestyle brand, producing clothes made in Malawi.
