The possibility of seeing five-month-old Archie on his first abroad visit has called for attention from the international media. According to the reports, 80 media organisations have been accredited to cover the tour, along with 300 local journalists, TV crews, and photographers. According to the travel plan, the couple will first visit one of the districts at Cape Town where the Sussexes will engage in a workshop that enlighten the children about their rights, self-awareness, and safety. The workshop also ensures sessions on self-defense and female empowerment for the young girls living in that community. Later they will visit that District Six Museum who are taking the initiative to reunite the members of the community who were forcibly displaced during the apartheid era. The reports reveal that more than 60,000 people were forced to leave their homes.

Talking to international media about the royal visit and the apartheid legacy which lead brutality and subjugation, he said that for Prince Harry to visit us a huge step forward in the healing process. He further added that after listening to the people, he will probably be able to understand their plight.
