From the moment the Duke and Duchess of Sussex landed in Cape Town last week, Capetonians have been lining the streets in and around the city in the hope of not only catching a glimpse of Harry and Meghan, but also of baby Archie.
Archie was noticeably absent for most of the tour, leaving everyone wondering if we’ll get to see the infant at all.
But one aunty, who was lucky enough to get up close and personal with the royal couple during one of their many walkabouts, took it upon herself to ask Prince Harry what everyone wanted to know, ‘where’s Archie?”
In a Facebook video that has since gone viral and been viewed over 80 000 times by Wednesday, the over excited ouma calls Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan to come closer.
“Hey, hey come here!” she is heard screaming over the cheers of everyone else around her.
Come here!
Like an excited ouma who hasn't seen her grandchildren in many years (or in this case, ever) the old lady pulls each one of them closer and gives them n stywe drukkie.
But it doesn’t stop there.
The lady then asks Prince Harry in a high pitched voice, ‘where’s Archie!?’ much to the amusement of the scores of people around her.
After Prince Harry answers her, the ouma responds with “oh, OK” and casually walks back to her spot - in front of the barriers.

As expected, Facebook was abuzz with many saying how much they loved the woman's raw reaction.
Tania May Yon said: "Bless this ladies beautiful soul. Even if they Royalty she did not care - she hugged them South African style. Every child must have a Nene including Prince Harry and his wife." (sic)
Shakeela Mugjenkar commented: "Who's mother is this? Lmklaaa, love her!"
Garth Mohamed posted: "Where's Archie like she was babysitting last night" (sic)
