Their Royal Highnesses also attended a Youth Reception at the British High Commission and marked Heritage Day – a celebration of the diversity of cultures in the country.

At Monwabisi Beach, TRHs visited “Waves for Change” which supports vulnerable young people in under-resourced communities, providing them with “Surf Mentors” who use group activities to promote positive thinking.

The Duke and Duchess also learned about the work of the UK’s Commonwealth Litter Programme, which funds research and action to tackle plastic waste.

In his capacity as Captain General of The Royal Marines, The Duke of Sussex visited “Seal Island” with officers from the City of Cape Town Marine Unit (MPU).
