The Duke and Duchess of Sussex fly to South Africa tomorrow to begin a 10-day tour of the continent.
They'll be taking along coloring books and markers for the local children (markers that were probably made in China and imported to the UK).
However, there are no play dates planned with local kids and the Sussexes' own rarely-seen son Archificial.
(Prince George famously enjoyed a play date with the locals when his parents toured Australia, although he was a bit older than Archificial at the time.)
"Although the Duke will attend several receptions at British High Commissions to celebrate the UK's ties with the countries he is visiting, with the Duchess joining him in South Africa, there are few evening events in a programme designed in part to take into account the needs of Archie," the Telegraph reported today.
"The decision will mean that royal-watchers will not see the Duchess in a tiara or other major pieces of jewellery borrowed from the Queen," the Telegraph adds.
What might this work be, and do the local communities really want the Sussexes' opinion on their problems or their participation in solving those problems?
What do you expect will happen during the Sussexes' tour of Africa?

Archie comes first
As they so often do, the Sussexes are putting Archificial's needs first when it comes to planning."Although the Duke will attend several receptions at British High Commissions to celebrate the UK's ties with the countries he is visiting, with the Duchess joining him in South Africa, there are few evening events in a programme designed in part to take into account the needs of Archie," the Telegraph reported today.

Community focus
Instead, the Telegraph reports, the Sussexes will "roll up their sleeves and do work in the community."What might this work be, and do the local communities really want the Sussexes' opinion on their problems or their participation in solving those problems?

Comments
I found this link, it goes into the article and its ‘claims’ and all the rabid twitter etc. comments that followed.

As an aside, one of the most frustrating things with the gushing sugar articles in Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and Cosmopolitan is that you CAN'T comment. Their words just stare back at you on the screen, knowing you can do nothing about them. That must be the beauty of cultivating such publications. No need to stem the tide of public opinion that's overwhelming them elsewhere.
It's annoying because two people of relatively minimal talent (one who was basically a social media influencer after trying her luck at sexy actress pin-up and the other a case of poor little rich boy who had his daddy and advisors organize his life) decide they will use taxpayer money to give themselves purpose and meaning to their otherwise materialistic, pampered, and luxurious existence.
And as much as it would be funny to see otherwise, I bet Meghan will probably be a good mother in general, except for her pathological need to control her image. But as long as her son doesn't interfere with her narrative as Mother Teresa/Audrey Hepburn/Princess Di/Wonder Woman of Color, her son will probably turn out fine, i.e. as decent and flawed as the average person.
The baby looks identical, almost too much so, to Harry as pictured with Diana that's included in the article. It's hard to know how old baby Harry was in that particular photo because as usual, the DM put the wrong date in the cutline by stating it was taken in January 2001, when we all know Diana had passed away long before then and Harry was born years before.
Megs and Harry need to come clean about the baby's birth date. And if they used a surrogate or not. It's all just too contrived.
Notice that there has not been a photo of Harry holding Archie since that first newborn shot with the queen, Philip, Doria and Megs? Not a single shot of him holding his son. Not a single shot of him showing any proud father affection either. Not a snuggle or a cuddle as Megs hold him. Very Odd.
I'd bet that as Nutty said above, that Megs is using the baby as a prop., plus the envy actors have when they are pushed out of the limelight by children or animals. I'd guess that she will always be the one holding the baby in photos. If Harry is in shots holding Arc, that would put the father son attention front and center, above the fold, cover shot and leave Megs in the murky faded background. That would be far too much for her NPD to handle.
Perhaps we should all vow to keep our politics off this blog.
I am American and see no love for Megdusa anywhere, no comments or magazine covers.
Even Kneepads has quit cashing her checks, ha ha
Because they quite rightly know that Meggy is desperate and despised.
Whereas Kate had a cover two weeks ago and the issue posted higher sales than any of Meggy.
