The royals also visited the District Six Museum, commemorating the 60,000 people who were displaced when the area was designated “whites-only” under the apartheid regime.
On Tuesday morning, the couple headed to Monwabisi Beach to see the work of Waves for Change, a charity that teams up with surfers to provide mental health support for youngsters.
The royal tour will last for ten days in total. Meghan will spend most of that time in and around Cape Town and Johannesburg, while Prince Harry will travel alone to Malawi, Botswana and Angola.
