The Duchess of Sussex has worn a headscarf to South Africa's oldest mosque, as she and the Duke attend talks on interfaith dialogue.
The Duchess, who was baptised in to the Church of England shortly before her wedding to Prince Harry, visited Auwal Mosque - the first and oldest mosque in South Africa - on the second day of the couple's tour.
As they arrived in the Bo Kaap district of Cape Town to raucous cheers of “we love you Meghan”, the Duchess stepped out of the official car in a floor-length dress with the cream headscarf already in place, holding hands with her husband.
The visit is designed to promote understanding between the faiths, and will see them meet young people who have taken part in programmes to help them "develop respect for people from different religions, faiths cultures and backgrounds and an appreciation of the value of diversity".
The Duchess has previously worked with the women of the Al Manaar mosque's Hubb kitchen in London for her Grenfell cookbook.
Her choice to wear a headscarf echoes her mother-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales. The Duchess of Cornwall and Duchess of Cambridge have also worn the garment during recent overseas tours.
As the Duke and Duchess arrived at Auwul Mosque today, they were greeted by Imam Sheikh Ismail Londt and Muslim community leader, Mohamed Groenwald.
They will go on to meet local faith leaders and view the first known manuscript of the Qu’ran in South Africa, which was drafted by Tuan Guru (first Imam) from memory while he was imprisoned on Robben Island.
The Duke and Duchess will then meet with the group of faith leaders, including a representative of the Church of England, the Chief Rabbi and Jewish, Christian and Muslim youth leaders, as well as students who participated in the London-Cape Town interfaith exchange.
