Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are really blending in with the locals on their 10-day royal tour of South Africa.
On Heritage Day on Tuesday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the Auwal Mosque in Bo-Kaap where residents gave them a warm welcome, as throngs of people lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the royals, shower them with flowers and gifts, and to take pictures.
Meghan, 38, and Harry, 35, enjoyed the attention, stopping to wave, greet, accept gifts, and also share hugs with especially little kids.
Meghan wore a headscarf and a long dress for their visit to Auwal masjid, the first and oldest masjid in the country, where they met with leaders from the Muslim, Christian and Jewish faiths, including Imam Sheikh Ismail Londt, anti-apartheid activist and Anglican Church priest Father Michael Lapsley and Reverend Michael Weeder.
Earlier in the day, the couple went to Monwabisi Beach to meet with members of Waves for Change, an NGO which supports surfers, who are mentors and provide mental health services to vulnerable youth in troubled communities.
Harry and Meghan took a walk on the beach and joined in a team-building exercise with the charity’s surf mentors and staff.
Their tour began in South Africa’s murder capital, Nyanga, on Monday when they visited a Justice Desk initiative, which teaches children about their rights, self-awareness and provides self-defence classes and female empowerment training to girls in the community.

Later the pair toured the District Six Museum to learn about work being done to relocate the former community that was forcibly removed during apartheid.
They also visited the nearby District Six Homecoming Centre where they were met by residents and treated to traditional Cape Malay dishes including samoosas and koesisters.
