It could be the sweetest video that the world has watched from the British royal family. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gave a glimpse of what it looks like at the Frogmore Cottage since baby Archie arrived: the new parents are playing and cuddling their firstborn.
British TV network ITV released a teaser for its upcoming documentary titled Harry and Meghan: An African Journey. It featured a brief moment wherein the Duke of Sussex is holding his son in his arms while the Duchess of Sussex stroking and gently kissing him in the head. The sweet family moment takes place just before Harry introduced Meghan and Archie to Archbishop Desmond Tutu in Cape Town, South Africa.
The British prince and former Suits actress had their 10-day tour of Africa last month. The African tour was the Sussexes' first as a family since Archie was born in May.
The meeting with Archbishop Desmond Tutu marked the young prince's first official royal engagement. It was memorable to the family as it took place at Tutu's foundation which contributes to the development of youth and leadership.
The Sussexes' also shared a photo of Tutu kissing Archie on the head. In the caption, the couple thanked the Archbishop for his warm hospitality and said Archie enjoyed his first meeting with him.
During their visit to Africa, Meghan expressed her joy of being a new mother. The Duchess of Sussex and Archie stayed in South Africa while Harry traveled to Botswana and Malawi. He also visited Angola where he paid tribute to the anti-landmine advocacy of his mother Princess Diana.
Meanwhile, ITV anchor Tom Bradby noted that the Harry and Meghan: An African Journey documentary will not only show the royal couple's dedication to their duties but also reveal the intimate moments of the family. He also teased that Harry and Meghan will also talk about their pride and happiness as well as the pain and pressure of being constantly under public scrutiny and how they deal with it.
Bradby is a former ITV royal correspondent who is also a friend of Prince Harry. He and his wife Claudia were guests at Harry and Meghan's wedding at Windsor Castle in May 2018. The couple invited him to join them on their Africa tour.
In his tweet earlier this month, Bradby teased that things will be explained once the documentary is aired. He could be talking about the controversies that Harry and Meghan have been into for the past couple of months such as the news that they are planning to take legal action against the tabloid press. The Harry and Meghan: An African Journey documentary airs on October 20 at 9 p.m. on ITV.
