Harry and Meghan’s announcement also comes after the British High Commission Nigel Casey confirmed the news in a press conference in Pretoria on Wednesday.

“They are going to be coming to visit us in South Africa this Autumn,” he shared. “That’s great news for us and I predict it’s also good news for the South African economy. I predict a hat and frock buying frenzy to rival SONA, which could restore economic growth all on it’s own.”

The palace also released a statement revealing that Prince Harry will continue on to visit Angola and Malawi and Botswana. It’s unclear whether Meghan and Archie will join him in any official capacity for that portion of the trip, but Botswana is certainly a special place for Meghan and Harry. Not only did the couple travel to the Okavango Delta during the early part of their relationship, the pair are still heavily involved in charity work in the region.

Last week, HRH The Duke of Sussex was proud to co-host a fundraising event for National Geographic’s @intotheokavango – a documentary film that highlights the vulnerability of the critical ecosystem that is The Okavango Delta and its source rivers in Angola. The Okavango Delta is the primary water source for a million people and is home to the world's largest remaining elephant population. His Royal Highness has a long-standing love of Africa and a connection with Botswana and Angola for over 20 years. The Duke is grateful to see National Geographic partnering with the Angolan government, @thehalotrust, @africanparksnetwork and many others in protecting this extraordinary habitat by supporting the sustainable management of the river basin's resources and focusing on a conservation economy. HRH – “Millions of people, food security and regional power generation are dependant on these free-flowing rivers. Threats such as uncontrolled fires, the bushmeat trade, unsustainable harvesting of the forest and rapid biodiversity loss are already destroying this incredible and delicate landscape. Known by the locals as ‘Source of life’, this ecosystem is wilderness at its best, playing an absolutely crucial role for the planet, people and wildlife. This is our one and only chance to save this magnificent last Eden.” (Photos: Cory Richards and John Hilton)
