ROYAL TOUR: Baby Archie looks just like Prince Harry as the Sussexes arrive in South Africa

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and baby Archie have landed in South Africa for their first royal tour as a family of three.

As the royal family were spotted disembarking their plane at the airport in Cape Town, eagle-eyed royal fans were quick to notice that Archie is the spitting image of his 34-year-old father as a baby.

The five-month-old royal tot was wrapped up in a navy baby grow and a cream bobble hat that looked strikingly similar to one worn by a then six-month-old Harry as he was carried down the airplane steps at Aberdeen airport by his mother Princess Diana in March 1985.

The Sussexes arrived 40 minutes late into Cape Town after taking a British Airways overnight flight from London.

While the couple opted to forgo a formal welcome, photos of their arrival were later leaked - offering royal watchers their first and only glimpse of Archie on the tour.

The couple began their 10-day tour by visiting a township to support a charity that helps disadvantaged children.

The family have also arrived laden with gifts for the nation's children — presents donated to their son Archie.

Harry and Meghan will give clothes, books and other items to an Africa-based charity that trains and employs women living with HIV as community health workers.

On Friday, Harry will travel to Angola, to pay homage to the work of his late mother Diana, who campaigned for landmines to be outlawed during a visit she made to the country in 1997.

In between Harry will also visit Botswana and Malawi, leaving his wife and young son in Cape Town for five days.

The family will be reunited in Johannesburg for the last leg on their trip.
